{"product_id":"quasi-constitutional-laws-of-canada-john-helis-9781552214947","title":"Quasi-Constitutional Laws of Canada","description":"As the first book dedicated to quasi-constitutional laws in Canada, this work provides a much-needed overview of the elements that unite the various rights-protecting laws that have received this designation from the Supreme Court of Canada. These laws comprise several categories of federal and provincial statutes, including human rights, access-to-information, privacy, language rights, and the traditional civil liberties, as well as a common law principle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eQuasi-constitutional Laws of Canada\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the legal impact and theory of quasi-​constitutionality for both a professional and an academic audience. It provides a useful roadmap for practitioners who routinely work with these statutes by engaging with the defining legal characteristics of quasi-​constitutionality. This includes a special interpretative approach and the primacy of quasi-constitutional legislation over regular statutes. Academic readers will likewise be interested in the legal impact of quasi-constitutionality, since the ability to use quasi-constitutional statutes to declare conflicting legislation inoperable has received limited attention compared to orders of invalidity under the Canadian \u003ci\u003eCharter of Rights and Freedoms\u003c\/i\u003e. This book addresses theoretical questions concerning the relationship of quasi-constitutional laws with both regular legislation and the Constitution, and it provides a comparative analysis situating quasi-constitutional laws in Canada within the development of the weak-form model of constitutionalism and judicial review in the Commonwealth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Helis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 155221494X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552214947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Irwin Law\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"John Helis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071641350399,"sku":"9781552214947","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59825417-acc5-493a-b5ea-2b709fbe5e30.jpg?v=1685437303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quasi-constitutional-laws-of-canada-john-helis-9781552214947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
