Product description
Diminishing Returns - Inequality&; the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is an outstanding set of human rights law papers that offers a snapshot of equality rights in Canada 20 years after section 15 came into force. Diminishing Returns reconsiders the early expectations of equality advocates and traces the rise and decline of substantive equality in SCC jurisprudence. The authors place equality victories and losses in their broader social, economic and political context and consider whether it remains possible to move Canadian equality law forward. The contributors raise troubling questions about the utility of equality litigation in face of the re-emergence of formal equality reasoning, judicial deference to legislatures and the Supreme Courts' reluctance to address discriminatory state action where the remedy would require the expenditure of public funds.
Some of Canada's greatest constitutional experts and most experienced equality litigators and activists have contributed to this authoritative and ground-breaking work.
