Media have reported that the Supreme Court of Canada will render judgment in Bedford v. Canada on Friday December 20, 2013.
A link to the Supreme Court's bulletin announcing the imminent judgment can be found here. The Court's case summary can be found here.
Little needs to be said about the possible ramifications of this decision. It is possible that Parliament will be told to dramatically overhaul federal prostitution laws. The Court's practice ifs often to grant legislators 12 months to do so, in order to avoid the difficulties associated with a legal vacuum.
The writer will be in holiday-transit at that point. Check back here for updates once I have had a chance to review and consider the decision.
