BritishColumbiaAttorneyGeneral Case citation Canada 1997 2 S.C.R. 624 , is a leading decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that expanded the application of the charter under Section Thirty two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 32 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and was one of the first four rulings proceeding where the Court was sharply divided on the interpretation of Section Fifteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 15 of the Charter. Each of the appellants in this case was born Deaf and their preferred means of communication were sign language. They contended that the absence of interpreters impaired their ability to communicate with their doctors and other health care providers, and thus increased the risk of misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that sign language interpreters must be provided in the delivery of medical services where doing so is necessary to ensure effective communication.

Sections 3 1 b and 3 6 b Vital Statistics Act are struck out. The declaration of invalidity suspended for 12 months. SCC 2002 2003 Unanimous Deschamps J. LawsApplied Law v. Canada , 1999 1 S.C.R. 497 Trociuk v. BritishColumbiaAttorneyGeneral , 2003 1 S.C.R. 835 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on Section Fifteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 15 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms where a father successfully challenged a provision in the BritishColumbia Vital Statistics Act, which gave a mother complete control over the identity of the father on a child s birth certificate, on the basis that it violated his equality rights. Background Darrell Trociuk and Reni Ernst were an estranged unmarried couple who became parents to triplets in January 1996. When filling out the birth registration Ernst had indicated that the father was unacknowledged by the mother and that they were not together at the time. Consequently, she put Ernst as their surnames. Trociuk, however, claimed that they had agreed on registering the children s surnames as Ernst Trociuk , and tried to get the records changed to include his particulars. Section 3 1 b and 4 1 a of the Vital Statistics Act of BritishColumbia prevented fathers from amending registrations. So Trociuk applied for a declaration to have the provision struck out as unconstitutional for violating his section 15 right to equality. The Director of Vital Statistics denied the changing of the children s surnames to include their biological father s name. Trociuk then took his case to the BritishColumbia Supreme Court, where it was upheld. Opinion of the court Justice Deschamps, writing ... more details
Indigenous Peoples of Canada Calder v. BritishColumbiaAttorneyGeneral 1973 S.C.R. 313, 1973 4 W.W.R. 1 was a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada . It was the first time that Canadian law acknowledged that aboriginal title to land existed prior to the colonization of the continent and was not merely derived from statutory law. In 1967, Frank Arthur Calder and the Nisga a Nisga a Nation Tribal Council brought an action against the BritishColumbia government for a declaration that aboriginal title to certain lands in the province had never been lawfully extinguished. At trial and on appeal, the courts found that if there ever was aboriginal title in the land it was surely extinguished. The Supreme Court found that there was indeed an aboriginal right to land that existed at the time of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 . However, the Court was split 3 to 3 on whether the claim to land was valid. One group claimed that though title existed it had been extinguished by virtue of the government s exercise of control over the lands, while the other group required that more be done to show extinguishment . Aftermath With this decision the government of Canada overhauled much of the land claim negotiation process with aboriginal peoples. The basis for aboriginal title was later expanded on in Guerin v. The Queen , 1984 2 S.C.R. 335, and most recently in Delgamuukw v. BritishColumbia 1997 3 S.C.R. 1010.
