Royal Succession and the Canadian Crown as a Corporation Sole: A Critique of Canada's Succession to the Throne Act, 2013

The constitutionality of Canada’s Succession to the Th rone Act, 2013 (Succession Act) will be tested in Quebec’s Superior Court in the coming months. In a case brought by two law professors from Laval University, with the government of Quebec as an intervener, the Quebec Superior Court will consider whether the Parliament of Canada’s assent to a British statute is sufficient to change the rules of royal succession for Canada.
