CASE COMMENT Regulatory Crimes and the Charter: R. v. Wholesale Travel Inc.
- Authors
Sheehy, Elizabeth A.
- Abstract
The article discusses the court case R. v. Wholesale Travel Inc., wherein the Supreme Court of Canada upheld the doctrine of strict liability against a Charter challenge but struck down the statutory defence to false advertising. It describes the lower court rulings regarding the constitutionality of absolute and strict liability. Other case law is used in illustrating the ways in which the Wholesale decision emboldens corporations to invoke the Constitution of Canada.
