Supreme Court takes on more cases than in recent years, reversing trend (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Supreme Court of Canada is busier than it has been since the late 2010s, an increased workload that comes after criticism that the top court was not producing enough judgments. The court each year receives several hundred applications to have cases heard in Ottawa, but in the 2020s the judges have said yes to only 7 per cent of the requests. This year, however, the court is saying yes much more often. It has agreed to 13 per cent of appeal applications. Last week, the Supreme Court said yes

Read excerpt
The Ontario Superior Court on Monday put the province’s cash bail system on hold as it granted an injunction in a case challenging the constitutional validity of the new rules recently introduced by Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative government.
