The abandonment of the common law tradition of attributing decisions to individual judges in favour of an anonymous and unanimous approach is unique among Western democracies. \u003cem\u003eBy the Court\u003c\/em\u003e is the first major study of these unanimous and anonymous decisions and features a complete inventory, chronology, and typology of these cases. Some significant examples include the \u003cem\u003eSecession of Quebec\u003c\/em\u003e reference and the \u003cem\u003eCarter\u003c\/em\u003e decision on assisted suicide. Peter McCormick and Marc Zanoni also ask where and why the idea emerged and whether it signals a genuinely collegial authorship or simply masks the dominance of the Chief Justice. Ultimately, \u003cem\u003eBy the Court\u003c\/em\u003e explores the purposes and potential future of \"By the Court,\" framing this practice as the most dramatic form of a modern style that highlights the institution and downplays individual contributions.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 What are \u003cem\u003eBy the Court\u003c\/em\u003e decisions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 The Supreme Court of Canada Takes to the Constitutional Stage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Why Decision Presentation Formats Matter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: The Road to \u003cem\u003eBy the Court \u003c\/em\u003eDecisions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Originality: Nothing to Copy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Uniqueness: A Global Common Law Survey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Early History: The \"Minor Tradition\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Emergence: The Birth of the \"Grand Tradition\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: The Modern \u003cem\u003eBy the Court\u003c\/em\u003e Decisions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Inventory and Chronology of Decisions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 A Typology of Decisions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Why These Cases?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 4: Conclusion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 The Meaning and the Future of the \u003cem\u003eBy the Court\u003c\/em\u003e Format\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; Bibliography; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531073188120,"sku":"9780774861724","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/by-the-court-anonymous-judgments-at-the-supreme-court-of-canada-paperback-softback-9780774861724","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
