Supreme Court Canada Case Decisions

excellent resource for those studying, or interested in, Canadian Law. cases are succinctly summarized & each judge’s opinion is noted. students can dig in deeper on the Justice Canada website.

thank you for providing this free app. 5 stars!

App never loads

App never loads

Very limited

I was hopeful that the app would have the same data listed on CanLII url. I couldn’t find a 2018 ONCA decision.

Very basic app, could use some enhancements, search bars, drop menus for directories etc.

Great for SCC cases

Great app would love a search feature though

Good, but needs a search bar!

Easy to use, full of good info, but would be good if it had a search bar for key terms!

Great.

Excellent legal overview of our SC in Ottawa.

Not bad

Few issues, I couldn’t find a search function and when I hit the cases button it goes to a red screen that I can’t escape without closing the app.

SCC App

I have only gratitude to give, and kind things to say about this app. Thank you for the work you put into it, and that you share it freely, too, makes you a superhero of pedagogy. Thank you!

Good concept - Poor Execution.

The concept is good. The app is simple and easy to use. The case summaries are poorly written and painful to read.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. This app is still in its early stages and more features will be added in the future. The case summaries are created by staff at the SCC and therefore are out of my control.

Requires improvement

- Please add a search field to search for cases.
- Would help if the cases were organized by category.
- Please add the ability to highlight and underline text.
- The cases with the darker gray icon are not categorized.
- Tort, contract, and property cases are not categorized.
- Also when opening most criminal cases it goes directly to the website. Why?

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. Searching for cases is a future that should be available in the near future. The categories come directly from the Supreme Court website. Unfortunately, they do not categorize all of them for whatever reason. As a result, they just show a blank category. Some cases do not have a case in brief. Once again, cases in brief are written by the staff at the Supreme Court. For smaller cases, such as cases that are heard as of right, there is often not a case in brief provided by the court so the app just takes you to the written decision.
