Righting Charter Violations

When a court finds the Charter is violated, what is the result? In some cases, laws are struck down because they are unconstitutional. In others, evidence in criminal cases is excluded. Join Assistant Professor Sarah Burningham (University of Saskatchewan) as she describes the remedies available for violation of the Charter, how those remedies work, and reviews current issues with the use of Charter remedies.
