DESCRIPTION:We regret to announce that this conference has been cancelled.
 \n\nIn 9147-0732 Québec inc. c. Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pé
 nales\, 2019 QCCA 373\, the Quebec Court of Appeal ruled that corporations
  enjoy Charter s.12 protection from “cruel and unusual punishment”\, where
 as the dissent found that legal persons do not benefit from this protectio
 n. Should this constitutional protection only be applied to preserve human
  dignity? Or should disproportionate fines that push corporations into ban
 kruptcy be considered unconstitutional?\n	\n	The appeal of this case was rec
 ently heard by the Supreme Court of Canada\, in January of this year. In t
 his appeal\, the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) and the Canadian C
 ivil Liberties Association (CCLA) presented two competing answers to this 
 question.\n\nMe Alyssa Tomkins\, representing the position of the CCLA\, a
 nd Me Joanna Baron\, BCL/LLB'12\, representing the position of the CCF\, w
 ill argue the case for the applicability of s.12 of the Charter to corpora
 tions under the vigilant moderation of Prof. Víctor Muñiz-Fraticelli.\n\nO
 rganized by the Runnymede Society student club.\n
