| 2004-11-22 | Judgment on appeal and notice of deposit of judgment sent to all parties | |
| 2004-11-19 | Judgment on the appeal rendered, CJ Ma Ba Bi LeB De F, The appeal from the judgment of the Court of Appeal for British Columbia (Vancouver), Number CA027600, dated October 9, 2002, heard on June 9, 2004 is allowed. The cross-appeal is dismissed. The constitutional questions are answered as follows: 1. Do the definitions of "benefits" and "health care practitioners" in s. 1 of the Medicare Protection Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 286, and ss. 17-29 of the Medical and Health Care Services Regulation, B.C. Reg. 426/97, infringe s. 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by failing to include services for autistic children based on applied behavioural analysis? No. 2. If so, is the infringement a reasonable limit prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society under s. 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms? It is unnecessary to answer this question. 3. Do the definitions of "benefits" and "health care practitioners" in s. 1 of the Medicare Protection Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 286, and ss. 17-29 of the Medical and Health Care Services Regulation, B.C. Reg. 426/97, infringe s. 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by failing to include services for autistic children based on applied behavioural analysis? No. 4. If so, is the infringement a reasonable limit prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society under s. 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms? It is unnecessary to answer this question. Allowed |

| 2004-03-17 | Order on motion for leave to intervene, (BY LEBEL J.) | |
| 2004-03-17 | Decision on the motion for leave to intervene, (revised March 23/04), LeB, After reviewing the material filed in support, it appears that not all these motions should be granted. I am of the view that the motion of the British Columbia Coalition of People with Disabilities, which belongs to the Council of Canadians with Disabilities, fails to indicate any distinct perspective which would be of assistance to the Court and should be dismissed. The applications of the Families for Early Autism Treatment of Ontario and the Families for Effective Autism Treatment of Alberta Foundation raise the same issues and the same perspectives. They should be granted leave to intervene, but will have to file a joint factum. The motion of the Society Making Autism Readily Treatable should not be allowed as it seeks to introduce new issues and additional evidence in the record. The other applications should be granted. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: The motion for leave to intervene of the applicant, the Canadian Association for Community Living and the Council of Canadians with Disabilities, is granted and the applicant shall be entitled to serve and file a factum not to exceed 20 pages in length on or before April 16, 2004. The motions for leave to intervene by the applicants, the Families for Early Autism Treatment of Ontario and the Families for Effective Autism Treatment of Alberta Foundation, are granted and the applicants shall be entitled to serve and file a joint factum not to exceed 20 pages in length on or before April 16, 2004. The motion for leave to intervene of the applicant, the Autism Society Canada, is granted and the applicant shall be entitled to serve and file a factum not to exceed 20 pages in length on or before April 16, 2004. The motion for leave to intervene of the applicant, the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund and the DisAbled Women's Network Canada, is granted and the applicant shall be entitled to serve and file a factum not to exceed 20 pages in length on or before April 16, 2004. The motion for leave to intervene of the applicant, Ms. Michelle Dawson, is granted and the applicant shall be entitled to serve and file a factum not to exceed 20 pages in length on or before April 16, 2004. The motion for leave to intervene of the applicant, the Friends of Children with Autism, is granted and the applicant shall be entitled to serve and file a factum not to exceed 20 pages in length on or before April 16, 2004. The motions for leave to intervene of the British Columbia Coalition of People with Disabilities and the Society Making Autism Readily Treatable are dismissed. The requests to present oral argument are deferred to a date following receipt and consideration of the written arguments of the parties and the interveners. The interveners shall not be entitled to raise new issues or adduce further evidence or otherwise to supplement the record of the parties. Pursuant to Rule 59(1)(a) the interveners shall pay to the appellants and respondents any additional disbursemen Allowed in part |
