Reference Re BC Motor Vehicle Act, [1985] 2 SCR 486, was a landmark reference submitted to the Supreme Court of Canada regarding the constitutionality of the British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act. The decision established one of the first principles of fundamental justice in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ("Charter"), beyond mere natural justice, by requiring a fault component for all offences with penal consequences. The decision also proved important and controversial for establishing fundamental justice as more than a procedural right similar to due process, but also protects substantive rights even though such rights were counter to the intent of the initial drafters of the Charter.

| - Le Renvoi sur la Motor Vehicle Act (C.-B.) est un renvoi important de la Cour suprême du Canada rendu en 1985 concernant la constitutionnalité de la Motor Vehicle Act de la Colombie-Britannique. L'arrêt est l'une des première décisions rendues sur la notion de justice fondamentale prévue à l'art. 7 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés. La justice fondamentale va au-delà de la simple justice naturelle car elle implique que toutes les infractions ayant des conséquences pénales doivent prévoir la commission d'une faute. Cette décision établit la justice fondamentale comme plus qu'un droit procédural similaire à une procédure régulière, mais protège également des droits substantiels même si ces droits étaient contraires à l'intention des rédacteurs initiaux de la Charte.
