In this seminar they will be providing key tips and practical considerations for litigating Charter issues from the perspective of the Crown and the Defence. The focus will be on pre-litigation notice requirements, how to elicit an evidentiary record, the substantive legal arguments that can be made and the remedies that can be sought.
