Robertson and Rosetanni v. The Queen, 1963
From: The Court and the Charter
$1.30
A majority of the Supreme Court of Canada, in looking at the effect of the Lord’s Day Act rather than its purpose, upheld a conviction for operating a bowling alley in contravention of the Act as not infringing freedom of religion under the Canadian Bill of Rights. A dissenting opinion considered the legislation to compel the observance of Sunday as a religious holy day under the penal sanctions of the criminal law.
