CANADIAN S.C. DOCKET

From the Montreal Gazette:

The Supreme Court of Canada is accepting a record number of court challenges from Quebec, in what is shaping up to be one of the liveliest winter sessions in decades.

Fifteen of the 29 appeals being heard from mid-January to mid-March are from Quebec.

. . .

Two closely watched appeals are a challenge to Quebec's language law in which French-speaking parents are seeking the right to send their children to English schools, and a religious-rights challenge in which Montreal Jews who live in an upscale condominium complex want to erect ceremonial sukkah huts on their balconies.
