Document Summary

The law: sources, the court system, tribunals, the parties & burden of proof, employment. Sources: there are 3 main sources of employment law in canada. The importance of each source depends on the particular area of law under consideration. Constitutional law is at the top of the pyramid because all statutes must conform with it. Common law is at the bottom since statute law takes precedence over judge- made law: constitutional law: the canadian charter of rights and freedoms; adopted as part of the constitution in 1982. It sets out guaranteed rights and freedoms that can affect the workplace whenever government action is involved, including freedom of religion, association, and expression. The charter is part of the supreme law of the land , meaning other statutes must accord with its principles. The most important guarantee in the charter is the equality rights provision in s. 15.
