R. v. Kapp, 2008
From: The Court and the Charter
$1.00
The Supreme Court of Canada held that communal fishing licences granted to aboriginal organizations did not violate the equality rights of non-aboriginal commercial fishers who were excluded from the fishery for 24 hours. A separate opinion would have ruled against the commercial fishers strictly on the ground that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms explicitly does not abrogate or derogate from any aboriginal or treaty rights.
