On an appeal concerning judicial appointment eligibility under s. 98 of the Constitution Act, 1867, the appellants challenged the interpretation adopted by the Quebec Court of Appeal.
The Supreme Court held that the appellants failed to demonstrate any interpretive error in the lower court's analysis of s. 98.
Arguments relying on the prior reference regarding ss. 5 and 6 of the Supreme Court Act were rejected as inapplicable because the constitutional and statutory contexts differed.
The appeal was dismissed for essentially the reasons given by the Quebec Court of Appeal.
