BritishColumbiaAttorneyGeneral Case citation Canada 1997 2 S.C.R. 624 , is a leading decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that expanded the application of the charter under Section Thirty two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 32 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and was one of the first four rulings proceeding where the Court was sharply divided on the interpretation of Section Fifteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 15 of the Charter. Each of the appellants in this case was born Deaf and their preferred means of communication were sign language. They contended that the absence of interpreters impaired their ability to communicate with their doctors and other health care providers, and thus increased the risk of misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that sign language interpreters must be provided in the delivery of medical services where doing so is necessary to ensure effective communication.

BritishColumbiaAttorneyGeneral , 2003 1 S.C.R. 835 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on Section Fifteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms section 15 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms where a father successfully challenged a provision in the BritishColumbia Vital Statistics Act, which gave a mother complete control over the identity of the father on a child s birth certificate, on the basis that it violated his equality rights. Background Darrell Trociuk and Reni Ernst were an estranged unmarried couple who became parents to triplets in January 1996. When filling out the birth registration Ernst had indicated that the father was unacknowledged by the mother and that they were not together at the time. Consequently, she put Ernst as their surnames. Trociuk, however, claimed that they had agreed on registering the children s surnames as Ernst Trociuk , and tried to get the records changed to include his particulars. Section 3 1 b and 4 1 a of the Vital Statistics Act of BritishColumbia prevented fathers from amending registrations. So Trociuk applied for a declaration to have the provision struck out as unconstitutional for violating his section 15 right to equality. The Director of Vital Statistics denied the changing of the children s surnames to include their biological father s name. Trociuk then took his case to the BritishColumbia Supreme Court, where it was upheld. Opinion of the court Justice Deschamps, writing ... more details
