The Quebec Secession Reference: The Law Of Politics Or The Politics Of Law?
AbstractThis is one of three articles in this issue which examine the recent Canadian case concerning secession of the Province of Québec. In this article Professor Craven considers the problematic character of the decision considered as a formal legal document. His concern is with the strains produced by the variety of objectives the Supreme Court of Canada could be seen to have set itself. His particular interest is in the use of Canadian material in the current constitutional discussions in Australia, in which he has been an active participant. |
