Allen / McMillan appearing at the Supreme Court of Canada in October 2023

On October 16, 2023, Greg, David and Chloe will be appearing at the Supreme Court of Canada in R v Edwards et al, a case involving whether military court martials satisfy the constitutional guarantee of an independent and impartial tribunal.

Our team will be representing the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, and urging the Supreme Court of Canada to overturn a 1992 decision in which it limited the scope of the right to be tried by an independent and impartial tribunal in the context of the military justice system.

For those who enjoy both constitutional rights and early mornings, the hearing will be streamed live through the Supreme Court of Canada’s website.
