| | A Canadian judge refused to grant him immigration status and was overruled from the Canadian cabinet. | | | As a result, the practice of law in Canada involves the use of US decisions, cases, and precedents in a greater degree than it did before 1982 because the United States has always had its Supreme Court superior to legislatures in matters of the US Rights document and the interpretation of the US Constitution. | | | The Supreme Court of Canada existed already, but the Charter of Rights and Freedoms gave the court priority in the interpretation of that document and the right to call legislation passed by the parliaments of Canada invalid if judged offensive to the Charter. |
