Charter Values and the Allure of the Unwritten

The Centre is excited to host a guest lecture by Professor Mark Mancini of Thompson Rivers University's Faculty of Law. The lecture will take place in person at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Law on Thursday, October 10th, 2024. It will also be livestreamed via Zoom (see below for a Zoom registration link).

Lecture abstract:

The Supreme Court of Canada's Charter values jurisprudence in administrative law is controversial, in part because it relies on unwritten constitutional values to impose distinct obligations on administrative officials, even beyond the express terms of the Charter. In this lecture, Professor Mancini suggests that the use of Charter values, unless properly framed, can upset the textual structure of the Charter. He advances a role for the use of unwritten norms in the law of judicial review that respects this most basic restraint on judicial interpretation.
