Document Summary
Ordered courts review the acts of the executive to make sure the actions do not violate charter rights. This legislation can be struck down by courts. Section 52 (the supremacy clause): any law inconsistent with the provisions of the. Constitution is, to the extent of the inconsistency, of no force or effect. Expansion of judicial power into the political realm has been extremely criticized, which is why the charter is so controversial. Moving towards a new style where courts have the say. Section 32 (application of the charter): the charter applies to the parliament and the government of canada and the legislature and government of each province. The charter applies only to the government, we only have charter rights against the state, it does not apply to private actors, in the workplace, or at home (outside of the state realm, there is no duty).
