No Rights Are Absolute: Legacies of Three Chief JusticesThis dataset, created by Beverley Baines, Jenna Sapiano, Sarah Macdonald, Sezen Izer, and Nicholas Piccinin, analyzes Supreme Court of Canada decisions issued between 1984-2018 that include reference to the Charter and/or the Constitution Act 1982, s. 35. The primary aim of the dataset is to record the Court's application of the doctrines of proportionality or justification in each case. The dataset provides empirical analysis about the shaping of these doctrines during the tenures of each of the first three Chief Justices since the adoption of the Constitution Act 1982 – Brian Dickson, Antonio Lamer, and Beverley McLachlin.
