Description

University of Toronto Law Journal, Volume 57, Number 2, Spring 2007, pp. 449-477 (Article)Published by University of Toronto PressFrank Iacobucci played the lead role in introducing the metaphor of judicial review as a form of dialogue between courts and legislatures into Canadian constitutional law. He discussed dialogue in reference to interpreting both rights and limitations under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but also in relation to devising remedies under the Charter and using the s. 33 override. Justice Iacobucci’s interest in dialogue was not, however, limited to these many different aspects of Charter adjudication. He recognized the importance of dialogue between courts and legislatures with respect to the development of the common law and in the interpretation of statutes.
