Splitting the list

[edit]

Admittedly it would be a large undertaking, but what about this case list sorted by topic? Alternately, a parallel page sorting the cases by topic? Comments? --Wikiuser0 02:22, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you mean in addition to this list. A chronological list of cases is useful as is. Topic lists can often be substituted by case law categories such as Category:Section Seven Charter case law, but a list of all case law by topic would be useful albeit long. --PullUpYourSocks 18:17, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Though I don't think splitting the list would be in order anytime soon, I had a thought that if it were to happen, it would not necessarily be the best idea to follow the US Supreme Court case list by dividing between chief justices. There are three very distinct eras of Supreme Court decisions that would accomodate the need to split up the list well. The Privy Council era from 1875 to 1949, the pre-Charter era from 1949 to 1982, and the Charter era from 1982 onward. Each era involved a very different approach to law and is reflected in the type of cases. If the Charter part where to get too big perhaps subdivision between Chief Justices whould be in order but I doubt that would be in order for several more years. --PullUpYourSocks 04:06, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Supreme Court will hear a landmark case which changed rules for pensioners

[edit]

HI am new here - how can this be added: http://www.canadianbusiness.com/article/59937--supreme-court-will-hear-a-landmark-case-which-changed-rules-for-pensioners Ottawahitech (talk) 22:59, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is not yet a decision from the SCC, I don't think we should add it. However, there is the "See also" section which links to notable Court of Appeal cases - I would suggest adding it there, with a note that the SCC as granted leave. Once the SCC gives its decision (which is likely at least a year away), it could be added to the list of SCC cases. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 00:04, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Buzfuz, I must say you blew me out of the water with your speedy response, I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to respond at all. It is absolutely great to see someone like you active at Wikipedia.
Back to the subject matter, the only information I have so far regarding the appeals court case is here: http://www.kmlaw.ca/About-Us/News/News-Item/?list=News&rid=74 which leads to this: http://www.kmlaw.ca/site_documents/news_indareasons_7apr11.pdfOttawahitech (talk) 12:38, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
