Hi Robert:

I read far too many Canadian judgments and none jump out at me. We are far too polite to say anything really critical (at least in public).

If you come up with one, pass it along,

Lewis

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.)
