 SCC Orders New Hate Crimes Trial
Justice Louise Charron, writing for the court, said the original judge "misdirected himself" by focusing on narrow technical issues rather than on the evidence as a whole.
Charron said the judge should have taken note of the "totality of the evidence," including the fact that the Roma were historically persecuted by the Nazis and that there was an apparent Nazi theme to the demonstration.
Charron also found no legal reason why the judge couldn't consider the dictionary definitions of Roma and Gypsy as part of the evidence.

 TheStar.com - Charron has focus, discipline, passion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
For Charron, the long-rumoured frontrunner for one of two seats on the nine-member bench, the announcement caps an impressive career of accomplishments, much of it spent in the courtroom as an assistant crown attorney in Ottawa and a judge in Ontario's district and superior courts and its Court of Appeal.
Greenspon recalls a sexual assault case in which Charron refused to allow testimony from a prosecution expert, who had previously given evidence in many other cases, on the grounds her opinion was not rooted in science.
But when Charron found out the firm had hired a Toronto lawyer to argue the case, she politely confronted the senior lawyer for whom she was working, Paul Lalonde, now an Ottawa judge, and asked, "Why did you get an outside agent?" Goulard recalls.

The Crown had argued in the appeal that the conditions imposed on Shoker upon release were "highly desirable for the rehabilitation of the offender and the protection of the public" and that there needed to be an effective way of checking up on him.
Charron noted in the ruling that the power to demand samples would "undoubtedly assist" in enforcing Shoker's probation conditions.
Charron added that in cases where Parliament authorizes the collection of bodily samples, it uses clear language and sets out standards and safeguards for collecting them.

 Real Women of Canada - Newsletters - SUPREME COURT OF CANADA IS A POLITICAL TOY
The appointment of two hard-line feminist judges, Justices Abella and Charron, both known to be in support of the homosexual agenda, confirms that the Supreme Court of Canada is a political toy used by the Liberal government to further its own agenda.
Madam Justice Louise Charron was one of the presiding judges in the M and H case which held that the same benefits awarded to common-law heterosexual couples must be awarded to same-sex couples.
The appointment of Justices Abella and Charron confirms both that the characteristics of impartiality and respect for parliamentary democracy and fairness are no longer qualifications for appointments to the court and that judicial appointments have become only a political toy to be used at the government's discretion.

As for Abella, she was on the panel that supported Judge Wright changing the meaning of the word "gain" to expand the law and convict what used to be legal.

 Radical Feminist Liberals Nominated to Canada Supreme Court
In a press release today, Canada's largest pro-life organization is decrying both the nominees for, and the process involved in, proposed new appointments to the Supreme Court of Canada by federal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler.
"We fear that, should they be appointed to the Supreme Court, both Louise Charron and Rosalie Abella will apply their own ideological biases, which are decidedly left of centre," commented Jim Hughes, president of Campaign Life Coalition.
Charron acted as the associate director of the National Judicial Institute for two years, a body of feminist legal theorists formed to promote feminist theory in law, Landolt explained.

 Judge Allows Marijuana Ruling To Stand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Yesterday, Justice Louise Charron said that the Justice Department was seeking an "unprecedented" order and she had no jurisdiction to suspend an acquittal imposed by a lower court.
As a result of the Superior Court decision, possession of small amounts of marijuana in Ontario is legal and will remain so, until the federal government passes new legislation or the Court of Appeal ultimately overturns the lower court ruling.
But Judge Charron said it would be contrary to the established legal principle of stare decisis, where courts are bound by precedent, to suspend the Windsor ruling, pending the appeal.

OTTAWA†It's not the way it was written in the chief justice's speech welcoming judges Rosalie Abella and Louise Charron to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Moments after Abella struggled to maintain her composure as she swore her judicial oath, and Charron firmly swore hers, McLachlin acknowledged it was a highly charged moment, for the new judges, their family and friends, but also for the court.
McLachlin had praised both former Ontario Court of Appeal justices as "learned judges" who bring to the job a high degree of competence in law, commitment and sense of humility about their judicial duties, and the ability to listen, empathize and decide difficult questions.

 LANCASTER HOUSE - Labour Employment and Human Rights Law Publishers
Since awards of damages and settlement payments are inherently neutral for tax purposes, Charron reasoned, the outcome of this sort of case must turn on the surrogatum principle defined in London and Thames Haven Oil Wharves Ltd. v.
The answer to the first question, Charron determined, is that "it cannot be disputed on the evidence that part of the settlement monies was intended to replace past disability payments." As to the second question, "[i]t is also not disputed that such payments, had they been paid to Ms.
On the basis of the answers to the questions required by the surrogatum principle, however, the Supreme Court ruled that "the portion of the lump sum allocated to the accumulated arrears is taxable," and dismissed the appeal.
