M. D. Lepofsky
This is the personal memoir of blind lawyer and volunteer disability rights advocate David Lepofsky. It describes his involvement in and perspectives on the successful fight from 1980 to 1982 to get Canada’s proposed Charter of Rights amended to guarantee equal rights for people with disabilities. It includes a foreword by the Hon. Rosalie Abella, former Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. This memoir recounts the little-known saga of the disability amendment to the Charter. Few know that equality for people with disabilities was the only constitutional right added to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms during the widely publicized eighteen-month battle over the patriation of Canada’s Constitution, from October 1980 to April 1982. It is aimed at anyone interested in disability rights, human rights, Canadian political or legal history, social justice advocacy, and Canadian constitutional law. It provides a mix of legal and legislative history, personal autobiography, grassroots advocacy strategy and reflective commentary on lessons learned. It compares social justice advocacy techniques in 1980 to those practiced in the disability rights arena four decades later.
这是盲人律师和志愿残疾人权利倡导者大卫-莱波夫斯基(David Lepofsky)的个人回忆录。书中描述了他从 1980 年到 1982 年参与并成功争取修改加拿大拟议的《权利宪章》以保障残疾人平等权利的过程。书中包括加拿大最高法院前法官罗莎莉-阿贝拉(Rosalie Abella)阁下的前言。这本回忆录讲述了鲜为人知的《宪章》残疾人修正案的传奇故事。很少有人知道,在 1980 年 10 月至 1982 年 4 月长达十八个月、广为人知的加拿大宪法归属之争中,残疾人平等是《加拿大权利与自由宪章》中增加的唯一一项宪法权利。本书面向对残疾人权利、人权、加拿大政治或法律史、社会正义倡导以及加拿大宪法感兴趣的任何人。书中融合了法律和立法史、个人自传、基层宣传策略以及对经验教训的反思性评论。该书将 1980 年的社会正义宣传技巧与 40 年后在残疾人权利领域采用的技巧进行了比较。

The Influence of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on Canadian Jurisprudence in the First Decade Since its Ratification 《残疾人权利公约》批准后的第一个十年对加拿大法理学的影响

Canada’s ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities [CRPD]in 2010 was met with hope and excitement that it would lead to much-needed improvements in equality, inclusion and accessibility for persons with disabilities in Canada. This paper explores the impact the CRPD has had on Canadian jurisprudence in the decade since Canada ratified the treaty. Our analysis of the jurisprudence indicates that Canadian courts and tribunals have employed a variety of approaches to the CRPD, for which we provide illustrative examples. Overall, the CRPD has impacted the reasoning or outcome in a small number of cases, but has not exerted great influence in Canadian jurisprudence to date. Despite this limited impact, a number of emerging factors suggest that the CRPD may well become more influential in Canadian jurisprudence in the future.
加拿大于2010年批准了《联合国残疾人权利公约》,这使人们充满希望和兴奋,因为这将导致加拿大残疾人在平等、包容和无障碍方面得到急需的改善。本文探讨了自加拿大批准该条约以来的十年里,《残疾人权利公约》对加拿大法学的影响。我们对判例的分析表明,加拿大法院和法庭对《残疾人权利公约》采取了各种方法,我们提供了例证。总的来说,《残疾人权利公约》在少数案件中影响了推理或结果,但迄今为止在加拿大判例中没有产生太大影响。尽管影响有限,但一些新出现的因素表明,《残疾人权利公约》很可能在未来的加拿大判例中变得更有影响力。

Students in Name Only: Improving the Working Conditions of Articled Students Via the Application of the BC Employment Standards Act 名义上的学生:通过应用不列颠哥伦比亚省就业标准法改善学生的工作条件
Pub Date : 2022-12-12 DOI: 10.22329/wyaj.v38.7778
Chas.Edw. Blair
Articled students in Canada tend to be exempt from provincial employment standards legislation, which govern minimum hourly wages and overtime and statutory holiday pay rates. Exemption from these provisions, along with the strong power dynamic present in the articled student-principal relationship, has fostered exploitative working conditions for articled students. To justify the exclusion of articled students from employment standards legislation, supporters of the status quo have propagated the narrative that articled students’ labour is not that of an employee, despite evidence to the contrary. In recent years, advocates have proposed various reforms to improve the working conditions of articled students, but they have not targeted employment standards legislation itself. With a focus on British Columbia, this article argues that a better solution to improve the working conditions of articled students is to apply the base provisions of the Employment Standards Act. Further, on closer examination, assertions that such an approach is contrary to the public interest are more rhetorical than substantive.
加拿大的第四条学生往往不受省级就业标准立法的约束,该立法规定了最低时薪、加班费和法定假日工资率。对这些规定的豁免,加上实习学生与校长关系中存在的强大权力动态,为实习学生创造了剥削性的工作条件。为了证明将实习学生排除在就业标准立法之外是合理的,尽管有相反的证据,但现状的支持者却宣扬实习学生的劳动不是雇员的劳动。近年来,倡导者们提出了各种改革措施来改善实习学生的工作条件,但他们并没有针对就业标准立法本身。本文以不列颠哥伦比亚省为重点,认为改善实习学生工作条件的更好解决方案是适用《就业标准法》的基本条款。此外,经过仔细研究,认为这种做法违背公众利益的说法更多的是口头上的,而不是实质性的。

The Triumph of the “Therapeutic” in Quebec Courts: Mental Health, Behavioural Reform and the Decline of Rights "治疗"在魁北克法院的胜利:心理健康、行为改革和权利的下降
Pub Date : 2022-12-12 DOI: 10.22329/wyaj.v38.7779
Emily Bernheim
In the Canadian province of Quebec, the role of the courts is crucial in civil, criminal or administrative proceedings concerning mental health: the courts must ensure both public safety and the protection of the rights of defendants. Therapeutic-jurisprudence theory has had a major influence on mental-health court practice over the past 30 years. According to that theory, the court system must take into account the therapeutic effects of the law and the judicial process to promote adherence to treatment by defendants.  The empirical analysis of judicial practices in Quebec shows that courts have been the main actors in the decline of rights in mental health. Therapeutic justice has been dominated by discriminatory, controlling and reformist tendencies. These include the trivialization of concerns about the judicialization of groups living in precarious conditions, inconsistent and lifestyle-oriented legal arguments, and treatment-related judicial decisions.
在加拿大魁北克省,法院在涉及心理健康的民事、刑事或行政诉讼中的作用至关重要:法院必须确保公共安全和保护被告的权利。在过去的30年里,治疗法学理论对心理健康法庭的实践产生了重大影响。根据这一理论,法院系统必须考虑到法律和司法程序的治疗效果,以促进被告遵守治疗。对魁北克司法实践的实证分析表明,法院一直是精神健康权利下降的主要行为者。治疗正义一直被歧视、控制和改革倾向所支配。其中包括对生活在不稳定条件下的群体的司法化问题的关注被淡化,不一致和以生活方式为导向的法律争论,以及与治疗相关的司法裁决。

People With Disabilities Need Lawyers Too! A Ready-To-Use Plan for Law Schools to Educate Law Students to Effectively Serve the Legal Needs of Clients With Disabilities as Well as Clients Without Disabilities 残疾人也需要律师!法学院教育法学院学生有效满足残疾客户和非残疾客户法律需求的现成计划
Pub Date : 2022-12-12 DOI: 10.22329/wyaj.v38.7780
David Lepofsky
Canada's legal profession is not sufficiently equipped to meet the legal needs of clients with disabilities. For decades, legal education focused primarily, if not exclusively, on training law students to serve clients without disabilities. A law student can complete their legal education while learning little about how to meet the legal needs of clients with disabilities. Law students need to be effectively trained to serve clients with disabilities as well as clients with no disabilities. Law faculties commendably focus increasingly on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Disability should be a strong and equal focus in their equity, diversity and inclusion strategies.  How can a law school fix this? This article gives a roadmap, and gives further resources enabling law deans and law teachers to quickly take action.  This article first describes why it is important to expand a law school's disability curriculum. It spells out disability content that should be shared with students, including a course-by-course delineation of topics. It offers practical, cost-effective options for law schools to systematically work towards permanently embedding disability content in their programs. A law school should make a concerted policy decision and create an action plan. This article’s tools point the way. 
加拿大的法律专业能力不足,无法满足残疾客户的法律需求。几十年来,法律教育主要(如果不是唯一的话)侧重于培训法律学生为无残疾客户服务。法律系学生可以在完成法律教育的同时,几乎不了解如何满足残疾客户的法律需求。法律专业的学生需要接受有效的培训,为残疾客户和非残疾客户提供服务。值得称赞的是,法学院越来越注重公平、多样性和包容性。在其公平、多样性和包容性战略中,残疾问题应成为一个强有力和平等的重点。法学院怎么能解决这个问题?本文给出了一个路线图,并提供了进一步的资源,使法律系主任和法律教师能够迅速采取行动。本文首先介绍了为什么扩大法学院的残疾课程很重要。它列出了应该与学生分享的残疾内容,包括一门又一门课程的主题描述。它为法学院系统地将残疾内容永久嵌入其课程提供了实用、经济高效的选择。法学院应该做出一致的政策决定并制定行动计划。本文的工具指明了方向。

Integrating Social Work Within Legal Clinics: An Inter-Professional Perspective to Address Social-Legal Needs 整合社会工作在法律诊所:一个跨专业的角度来解决社会法律需求
Pub Date : 2022-06-09 DOI: 10.22329/wyaj.v38.7389
Alicia Lam, Vanessa Emery, Renee Griffin, Michael A. Saini
This project is a key demonstration of the benefits of social workers practising alongside lawyers within a legal clinic. Inter-professional practice between lawyers and social workers responds holistically to the needs of individuals experiencing socio-legal issues by both addressing their legal issues while supporting their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being and adjustment. We provide lessons learned based on a new initiative that integrates social work within a legal clinic as a means of providing opportunities to receive individualized support while addressing legal issues.
该项目是社会工作者在法律诊所与律师一起执业的好处的关键展示。律师和社会工作者之间的跨专业实践全面回应了遇到社会法律问题的个人的需求,既解决了他们的法律问题,又支持他们的心理、情感和精神健康和调整。我们提供了基于一项新举措的经验教训,该举措将社会工作纳入法律诊所,作为在解决法律问题的同时提供获得个性化支持的机会的一种手段。

Incomplete Justice: The Costs of Partial Indemnity 不完全正义:部分赔偿的代价
Pub Date : 2022-06-09 DOI: 10.22329/wyaj.v38.7391
Adil Abdulla
In the mid-twentieth century, Ontario abandoned a simple, full indemnity costs rule in favour of a discretionary, partial indemnity costs regime with hundreds of sub-rules. This article argues that this was a mistake. Partial indemnity has no doctrinal, principled, or practical benefits that cannot be incorporated into a full costs regime. Additionally, partial indemnity carries significant costs to access to justice. Instead, this article proposes a costs regime that incorporates the best features of both the old rule and the new regime. In brief, it proposes a full indemnity rule; capped at the losing party’s costs; with exceptions for divided success, impecuniosity, and public interest cases; and discretionary fines for engaging in misconduct or dilatory tactics. Collectively, these rules would advance access to justice more than the existing costs regime.
在二十世纪中叶,安大略放弃了简单的全额赔偿费用规则,转而采用酌定的部分赔偿费用制度,其中包含数百条子规则。本文认为这是一个错误。部分赔偿没有理论、原则或实际的好处,不能纳入全部成本制度。此外,部分赔偿会给诉诸司法带来巨大成本。相反,本文提出了一种成本制度,它结合了旧制度和新制度的最佳特点。简而言之,它提出了一个全额赔偿规则;以败诉方的费用为上限;除财产分割、财产贫乏和公共利益案件外;对不当行为或拖延战术的酌情罚款。总的来说,这些规则将比现有的费用制度更能促进诉诸司法。

The Consequences of Unfreedom: Learning from Story Amidst a Global Climate Crisis 不自由的后果:从全球气候危机中的故事中学习
Pub Date : 2022-06-09 DOI: 10.22329/wyaj.v38.7390
Meghan Robinson
As the world navigates the impending consequences of climate change, Canada remains one of the few countries to reject the right to a healthy environment for its citizens within the Canadian Constitution. Although Canada purports itself to be a free and democratic society, many argue that their freedoms are continually neglected by laws that continue to disregard the environment and, therefore, their right to a healthy existence. This article is an investigation into a particular word that is woven throughout Canada’s Constitution: “freedom.” It is an investigation into the conflicting understandings of the word and how these contrasting meanings have impacted Canada’s Constitution and its relationship to land. This article analyzes the history of freedom as seen through a liberal belief system and contrasts this understanding with Indigenous concepts of freedom, as told through Haisla and Nuu-chah-nulth stories. These narratives explore how the differing concepts of freedom have affected relationships with the land and the laws that govern the land. Finally, the discussion of these themes draws upon the possibility of using story within Canada’s laws to change the Constitution’s current relationship with the land in order to mitigate the potential effects of climate change. I argue that the liberal, colonialist world view is ever present in our current legal system and is in fact facilitated through the word “freedom.” Until we begin to re-story our Constitution through a diversity of understandings and world views, Canada will continue to ignore the looming ramifications of climate change.
在世界应对即将到来的气候变化后果之际,加拿大仍然是少数几个拒绝《加拿大宪法》赋予其公民享有健康环境权利的国家之一。尽管加拿大自称是一个自由和民主的社会,但许多人认为,他们的自由不断受到法律的忽视,这些法律继续无视环境,因此也无视他们健康生存的权利。这篇文章是对贯穿加拿大宪法的一个特定词的调查:“自由”。它是对这个词的冲突理解的调查,以及这些截然不同的含义如何影响加拿大宪法及其与土地的关系。本文从自由主义信仰体系的角度分析自由的历史,并将这种理解与Haisla和Nuu-chah-nulth故事中所讲述的土著自由概念进行对比。这些叙述探讨了不同的自由概念如何影响人们与土地的关系以及管理土地的法律。最后,对这些主题的讨论借鉴了在加拿大法律中使用故事的可能性,以改变宪法当前与土地的关系,以减轻气候变化的潜在影响。我认为,自由主义、殖民主义的世界观一直存在于我们当前的法律体系中,实际上是通过“自由”这个词来促进的。在我们开始通过不同的理解和世界观重新讲述我们的宪法之前,加拿大将继续忽视气候变化迫在眉睫的后果。

“A So-Called Tenants’ Union”: Defining the Organizational Power of Tenants within and outside the Law “所谓租客联盟”:界定法内外租客的组织权力
Pub Date : 2022-06-09 DOI: 10.22329/wyaj.v38.7392
Seema Shafei
How is a tenants’ union defined within the parameters of the law? How have tenants been defining themselves as a union outside of the law? This paper will examine the answers to these questions by laying out the historical context of the current rental regime in Ontario, analyzing the current case law on tenant associational activity, and highlighting the organizational tactics that tenants’ associations have used to build power where the law has failed to protect their interests. While advancing a legal case for robust tenant associational rights may force landlords to the bargaining table, the future of tenants’ associations in and outside of the law should draw on lessons learned from the labour movement in Canada with a “whole-worker organizing” approach in mind.
租户工会是如何在法律范围内定义的?租户是如何将自己定义为法律之外的工会的?本文将通过阐述安大略省现行租赁制度的历史背景,分析现行关于租户协会活动的判例法,并强调租户协会在法律未能保护其利益的情况下用来建立权力的组织策略,来检验这些问题的答案。虽然提出强有力的租户协会权利的法律案例可能会迫使房东坐到谈判桌上,但法律内外租户协会的未来应该借鉴加拿大劳工运动的经验教训,并考虑到“全工人组织”的方法。

Au Québec, les personnes ayant subi un accident du travail ou souffrant d’une maladie professionnelle au sens de la Loi sur les accidents du travail et les maladies professionnelles sont susceptibles de cheminer dans un processus de contestation devant le Tribunal administratif du travail. Le présent article fait état de résultats de recherche mettant en lumière les défis en matière d’accès à l’accompagnement et à la représentation auxquels les personnes non syndiquées peuvent faire face, que celles-ci soient admissibles à l’aide juridique ou non. Si le Québec se démarque du reste du Canada relativement à l’accès à la représentation des personnes salariées non syndiquées en matière de normes du travail, force est de constater qu’il fait piètre figure quant au soutien et à l’assistance fournie aux personnes accidentées ou malades du travail. En effet, ces dernières font face à des écueils importants en matière d’accès à la représentation et à l’accompagnement. Pourtant, le fait d’être représenté ou accompagné semble avoir des avantages indéniables pour les personnes accidentées ou malades du travail cheminant dans ce processus judiciarisé.
在魁北克省,根据《工业事故和职业病法》的规定,遭受工业事故或患有职业病的人可能会在行政劳资法庭进行争议程序。本文报告了研究结果,强调了非工会成员在获得支持和代表方面可能面临的挑战,无论他们是否有资格获得法律援助。虽然魁北克在获得非工会雇员在劳动标准方面的代表权方面与加拿大其他地区不同,但必须指出,魁北克在向受伤或生病的工人提供支持和援助方面表现不佳。事实上,他们在获得代表和支持方面面临重大障碍。然而,代表或陪同似乎对在这一司法程序中工作的受伤或生病人员有不可否认的好处。
