Supreme Court of Canada faces a busy November of hearings and judgments

Pending rulings with Martin

19 rulings

There are 19 pending rulings in cases that retired justice Sheilah Martin heard. She can take part in those judgments only until the end of November.

The ruling most awaited

The most anticipated ruling is on Quebec's Bill 21, which bars many public-sector workers from wearing religious symbols at work. Chief Justice Richard Wagner has said the court aims to rule within Martin's window.

The court hears four appeals on the federal government's 2020 firearms regulations on Nov 9 and 10. The rules effectively prohibited more than 1,500 types of firearms, and challenges have failed twice in lower courts.
