But because the Workmen Compensation Act is protected by a provincial privative clause the only thing the judge can do is send your case back to the WCB to look at again the judge cannot make a decision in your case.
Which means that injured workers do not enjoy the same rights under the charter as the average citizen? Which means the Charter is not a legal document.

Stewart Sun, 15 Apr 2012 04:51:09 +0000 http://blog.clicklaw.bc.ca/?p=1813#comment-77494 Why in BC, are capable citizens, who are being arrested/apprehended/detained by police and treated as mentally ill refused their sec. 10 Charter Rights call to lawyer?

To do so discriminates against the mentally ill, and or those citizens being treated as mentally ill, when criminals enjoy sec. 10 of the Charter when they are arrested/detained by BC police.

I would love to see a lawyer’s response.
