Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada have the option of releasing reasons for a unanimous decision anonymously by simply attributing the judgment to "The Court". The practice began around 1979 by Chief Justice Laskin, borrowing from the US Supreme Court practice of anonymizing certain unanimous decisions. Unlike in the US, which uses it primarily for uncontroversial cases, in Canada, it is used almost always for important and controversial cases.

  • Le juges de la Cour suprême du Canada ont l'option de rendre leurs jugements pour une décision unanime en attribuant le jugement en indiquant simplement « par la Cour ». Cette pratique a commencé vers 1979 par le juge en chef Bora Laskin, empruntant ainsi la pratique de la Cour suprême des États-Unis de rendre anonyme certaines décisions unanimes. Cependant, à la différence des États-Unis qui utilisent cette pratique principalement pour des cas qui ne sont pas controversés, au Canada, elle est utilisée presque exclusivement pour des cas importants et controversés. Il a été suggéré que cette pratique est utilisée pour donner une plus grande autorité à la décision en ayant la Cour entière parlant d'une seule voix. (fr)

  • Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada have the option of releasing reasons for a unanimous decision anonymously by simply attributing the judgment to "The Court". The practice began around 1979 by Chief Justice Laskin, borrowing from the US Supreme Court practice of anonymizing certain unanimous decisions. Unlike in the US, which uses it primarily for uncontroversial cases, in Canada, it is used almost always for important and controversial cases. It has been suggested that the practice has been used to give greater authority to the decision by having the entire Court speak as a single voice. Peter McCormick, a professor of political science at the University of Lethbridge who studies Canada's appellate courts, calls these 'per coram decision," but his terminology is not in general use. McCormick states that there were 9 reported per coram decisions prior to Bora Laskin's term as Chief Justice, 15 reported per coram decisions under Laskin's Chief Justiceship, and 51 reported per coram decisions under Dickson's Chief Justiceship.
