SCC unanimously allows City of St. John's v Lynch appeal on constructive expropriation. Only 33% correctly predicted the outcome, but it was somewhat only a partial victory for the appellant.

Me, waiting for the Supreme Court of Canada to hear more private law cases:

[Fantasy Courts @FantasyCourts]

The Supreme Court of Canada declines to adopt a new rule against ungrounded common-sense assumptions. Allows R v Kruk & Tsang appeals, restoring sexual assault convictions. 91% correctly predicted the result. #SCC

[Fantasy Courts @FantasyCourts]

This Friday's Supreme Court of Canada decision is ready for your predictions on Fantasy Courts. Here's our preview of the appeal about privacy in IP addresses: https://t.co/hzYNUcc1NZ #SCC

[Dylan Gibbs @DylanJGibbs]

Interested to see how this one shakes out. 7 judges heard the case in 2022. It was reheard by 9 judges almost a year later — likely because of a tie after Brown J’s departure. Expecting a dissent by at least 3 judges, with Rowe, Kasirer, and Moreau JJ breaking the former tie.

[Tom Slade @thomasslade]

Potentially a big internet privacy decision out on Friday: whether bare IP addresses attract a reasonable expectation of privacy. #SCC

[Fantasy Courts @FantasyCourts]
