SCC Case Tweets

If the SCC were forced to also use plain language tweets summarizing its cases. Parody account: but it’s shameful if you had to be told. Pronouns: it/its

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

Practice Advisory to Future Litigants: When citing foreign appellate decisions as “influential” to the SCC, consider your choice of jurisdiction wisely. Some courts are highly regarded; others are monstrosities.

@RightsOfCanada Except for the supremacy of god part. You can skip over that.

While we’re still not open, we can assure the profession that when we re-open, we’re going to be offering TWICE the amount of water we normally give out. #givingback

[Court of Appeal for Ontario @ONCA_en]

If you’re attending a hearing at Osgoode Hall, please bring a full water bottle. Drinking water is not provided or available at the courthouse. This and other information is in the Court’s COVID-19 In-Person Hearing Protocol: https://t.co/61qBti4Hzl

We are pleased to announce that EVERY member of our court has now received their black belts.

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

@gibvanert Oh sure, now that you’ve left our court, now you’re full of bright ideas you never mentioned while here. Nice.

As for the list of authorities, you have to do a table of contents for your book of authorities; what’s the big deal about hitting “copy” and “paste” into a factum?

@ADodek @selwynpieters @BadLegalLLP We will neither confirm nor deny this.

@gibvanert We also had that in the draft of Trinity Western but we thought people would get upset.

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

Sorry everyone for not releasing any written decisions in two months. We are debating revisions to the SCC rules and there’s a big fight about why we are the only organization in the western world that requires documents to be printed on the wrong side of the page. #scc

WTAF.

#Clawbies2019

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

OK everyone, settle down.

If there’s an appeal right, it’s correctness. Also constitutional stuff. And if rule of law requires it or if tribunals disagree with each other. Oh and reasonableness review is super robust now.

THERE THAT SHOULD RESULT IN CERTAINTY

Can v Vavilov

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

Majority: contract doesn’t apply, nothing to see here.

Minority: stare decisis basically means take any prior SCC decision you like and say that’s the law even if it’s later been superseded. It’s a jurisprudential smorgasbord!

R v Resolute https://t.co/owvdae9yF8

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

We confirm that we will not view it as compromising our judicial independence if we were to receive this year’s #Clawbies2019. But whatever you do, don’t vote for the Federal Court of Appeal’s twitter feed. They have been throwing shade on us all year.

You cant be arrested for not holding a handrail and can sue if you are. For future reference, police please also dont arrest people for a) not bundling up on cold days b) not looking both ways before crossing a street or c) staying up late on school nights https://t.co/9ojWBR1S4I

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

The police cannot arrest people who have not broken the law.

SEE? We can come to unanimous decisions. Haters gonna hate.

#scc Fleming v Ontario. https://t.co/SlGgZS3SfI

People who purchase umbrellas can sue.

Pioneer v Godfrey https://t.co/kQgSxLgWf4

Look that’s not what the case is really about but unless you’re a competition law nerd, you’re not going to care about this. Don’t worry we have some juicy criminal law decisions coming up.

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

@kennyhildebrand We have reported this subversive tweet to the Law Society.

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

@cforcese @ADodek Whether to require a functional and pragmatic approach to judicial review of administrative tribunals in the constitution or not.

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

@CORELAWYERS We did it because we were sick of begging Trudeau for money for our Nespresso machine capsules. Like how do they think we’re going to get through Friday afternoon appeals as of right?

[SCC Case Tweets @SCC_Case_Tweets]

Did you know that we overturned the Federal Court of Appeal four times last year? Last we checked, they didn’t overrule us once. #stayinyourlane

@MarkPMancini Thanks. You ain’t that bad either.
