Title
Just the Facts? Revisiting the Evidence in Court Rulings on the Language of Commercial Signs and its Impacts on Admitting Legislative Facts
Abstract
The author examines the use of demographic evidence in the Ford vs Quebec (Attorney General) court case on the language of signs in the province that was heard in 1988 by Supreme Court of Canada. He debates whether the Supreme Court gave sufficient consideration of the limits of demographic evidence in establishing causality regarding the extent to which the visibility of language on commercial signs can have a meaningful impact on language attitudes and behaviours.
