List Of Canadian Appeals To The Judicial Committee Of The Privy Council, 1900–1909
This page lists all appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council from the Canadian courts, decided in the years 1900 to 1909. From 1867 to 1949, the JCPC was the highest court of appeal for Canada (and, separately, for Newfoundland). During this period, its decisions on Canadian appeals were binding precedent on all Canadian courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada. Any decisions from this era that the Supreme Court of Canada has not overruled since gaining appellate supremacy in 1949 remain good law, and continue to bind all Canadian courts other than the Supreme Court. The Parliament of Canada abolished appeals to the JCPC of criminal cases in 1933 and civil cases in 1949. Ongoing cases that had begun before those dates remained appealable to the JCPC.Bora Laskin, ''The Hamlyn Lectures, Twenty-First Series: The British Tradition in Canadian Law'' (London: Stevens & Sons, 1969), pp. 1–3, a/ref> The final JCPC ruling on a Canadian case was rendered in 1959, in ...
