– look at the original SCC case on file <\/span><\/span>on the SCC website or some other legal case website. If there was a JCPC appeal, <\/span><\/span>you should look at this also.

<\/span><\/font>3.<\/span> <\/span>What constitutional and other legal provisions are in dispute? (division of <\/span><\/font>powers or CCRF or principles of administrative law).
<\/span><\/font>4.<\/span> <\/span>What questions are to be decided? (issues have to be phrased so a court can
<\/span><\/font>answer them in a yes or no way)
<\/span><\/font>5.<\/span> <\/span>How did the lower court(s) answer these questions? <\/span><\/font>(<\/span>ratio decidendi<\/span>) <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Answer the following (analysis): <\/span><\/p>\n

1. What reasoning, including precedents, was (or were in the case of multiple<\/span> <\/span>precedents) used to answer these questions?<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

2. What other views were expressed in concurrence or dissent? (e.g.<\/span> <\/span>obiter dicta<\/span> <\/span>are<\/span> <\/span>holdings that do not decide the case but may suggest future direction)<\/span>
3. What arguments are the two parties in the dispute (e.g. Crown vs. accused in<\/span> <\/span>criminal cases) making to the court(s)?<\/span>
4. Were there interveners in the case at the Court of Appeal or SCC and did these<\/span> <\/span>interventions influence either court\u2019s decision(s)? <\/span>
<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

5. <\/span><\/span>Does there appear to be any pattern in the decision making of the various justices <\/span>deciding the case? (e.g. Quebec justices vs. justices from the rest of Canada).<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
