Elmira, ON – Canadian Council of Christian Charities is pleased that Chief Justice Hinkson, of the British Columbia Supreme Court, ruled in favour of Trinity Western University today.\u00a0 This is the third decision made in the on-going saga of Trinity Western University (TWU) and Canada\u2019s legal profession.\u00a0 TWU is 2 for 1 \u2013 having won in BC and Nova Scotia but lost in Ontario.\u00a0 This saga will, no doubt, go to the Supreme Court of Canada.<\/p>\n

On October 31, 2014 the Benchers of the Law Society of British Columbia voted to take away TWU\u2019s approval for its proposed School of Law because the majority of lawyers in BC voted in a referendum against TWU.<\/p>\n

That is where, according to Chief Justice Hinkson, the Law Society went wrong.\u00a0 Accepting the referendum results without a thorough evaluation of TWU\u2019s Charter rights was an unjust fettering of their responsibility to ensure procedural fairness.\u00a0 \u201cThe goal of procedural fairness,\u201d Hinkson noted, \u201cis to ensure that affected parties have the opportunity to present their case to the ultimate decision-maker, with the assurance that the evidence presented will be considered fully and fairly.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the Law Society refused \u201cto allow TWU to present its case to the members of the LSBC on the same footing as the case against it was presented\u201d – that was unfair.\u00a0 Further, Hinkson ruled that \u201c[t]he fact that a democratic process was followed in the October Referendum proceedings does not protect the Decision from scrutiny.\u201d\u00a0 In other words, just because the majority says it\u2019s so \u2013 doesn\u2019t make it so.<\/p>\n

According to Hinkson, the Benchers did weigh the competing Charter rights of freedom of religion and equality when it made its original decision in April 2014 that approved the school.\u00a0 However, when it voted in October 2014 it \u201chad bound itself to accept the referendum results of its members\u201d without any regard of TWU\u2019s Charter rights.\u00a0 Hinkson, therefore, quashed that decision and ruled the April decision, approving TWU, stands.<\/p>\n

Canadian Council of Christian Charities was an intervener in the case and brought before the Court the importance of protecting the religious communal life of Canadian citizens.\u00a0 Constitutional law, statutory law, along with the requisite regulatory regimes, and the common law, have shown a consistent pattern of respecting the sovereignty of religious communities.\u00a0 Despite the increasingly secularistic legal challenges to religion, there yet remains a strong legal basis for respect to prevail.<\/p>\n
