R v Bryan

R v Bryan [2007] 1 S.C.R. 527 , 2007 SCC 12 is a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada on freedom of expression and Canadian federal elections. The Court upheld a law that prevented the publicizing of election results from some ridings before the polls closed in others.

The law was later repealed by a vote in parliament, taking effect June 18, 2014 prior to the 2015 Canadian federal election, citing the increased use of social media.
