Abstract

Rules of civil procedure are unlikely suspects for entrenchment in constitutional law. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court of Canada has been energetic in the process of expanding the constitution to this formerly technical field. Jurisdictional, discovery, and other procedural questions now reflect a national uniformity and immutability that comes with their inclusion in the expanding pantheon of constitutionally protected rights.
