Description
The accepted reading of Roncarelli v. Duplessis requires revision. Accounts by which Justice Rand defended the rule of law while the dissenters were indifferent to it mischaracterize the judgment. Justice Rand's judgment is bolder and less explicit than is typically supposed: his treatment of the notice requirement constitutes part of his defence of the rule of law. For its part, Justice Fauteux's dissent enacts a plausible understanding of the judge's role within the rule of law. Disagreement on the overlooked procedural issue is best viewed as fully internal to the rule of law. The judgment's relevance for rule of law scholars is its exenaplification of the possibility for rule of law impulses to conflict, making it a much richer and more interesting text. Scholars' dismissiveness toward the procedural issue reveals an unsatisfactory view on the part of legal scholars, one by which judges simply apply the rule of law, rather than being also themselves constrained by it. Une revision de l'interpretation generalement acceptee de l'affaire Roncarelli c. Duplessis s'impose. Uargument selon lequel le juge Rand defendait la primaute du droit tandis que les juges dissidents y etaient indifferents portraitise mal le jugement. Le jugement du juge Rand est plus audacieux et moins explicite qu'on ne le suppose habituellement: son traitement de la question de l'exigence de preavis fait partie de sa defense de la primaute du droit. La dissidence du juge Fauteux exemplifie une approche plausible quant au role des juges au sein de la primaute du droit. Le desaccord portant sur la question procedurale negligee se comprend mieux comme etant entierement interne a la primaute du droit. Le jugement demontre comment les impulsions pour defendre la primaute du droit peuvent entrer en conflit, rendant ainsi le texte d'autant plus riche et interessant. L'approche de ceux qui etudient la primaute du droit, qui fait abstraction de la question procedurale et selon laquelle les juges ne font qu'appliquer la primaute du droit plutot que d'y etre contraints, est insatisfaisante.
