2006 reasons of the Supreme Court of Canada

2006 reasons of the Supreme Court of Canada

The table below lists the reasons delivered from the bench by the Supreme Court of Canada during 2006. A total of 59 judgments were published. The table illustrates what reasons were filed by each justice in each case, and which justices joined each reason. This list, however, does not include reasons on motions. [Motions released in 2006: R. v. Hotte, [2006] 1 S.C.R. 379, 2006 SCC 8; Ronald David Baier et al. v. Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Alberta (Motion), 2006 SCC 38]

The Globe and Mail remarked that this year was the lowest number of judgments released in at least 25 years. [Kirk Makin, "Dramatic drop in Supreme Court rulings fuels questions" Globe and Mail (December 29, 2006) [http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061230.wxrulings30/BNStory/National/home] ] It was noted that this appears to be a part of a similar trend seen in the US Supreme Court and House of Lords.
