From: Robert Stevens

Subject: Australian/Canadian Query

 

I don't hold Australian and Canadian cases in my head in quite the way that I try to do with English cases. I wonder if colleagues have any good examples of the High Court of Australia or (more improbably) the Supreme Court of Canada being particularly dismissive of a decision of the House of Lords? I have a couple of examples but nothing really strong. (It has been pointed out to me that Dixon CJ had some choice things to say about their Lordships in private. I think one person we definitely can forgive is Dixon.)
