L'arrêt Miller et la peine de mort A1 - Brun, Henri JO - Les Cahiers de droit VL - 18 IS - 2-3 SP - 567 EP - 576 SN - 0007-974X Y1 - 1977 Y2 - 03/28/2024 6:07 a.m. PB - Faculté de droit de l’Université Laval LA - FR AB - The Miller case, decided by the Supreme Court of Canada on October 5, 1976, puts the death penalty under the light of the Canadian Bill of Rights which formulates the right to life and the right to protection against cruel and unusual treatment or punishment. The following comment on the case relates to the interpretation given specific clauses of the Bill of Rights by the Court on that occasion. But it stresses especially the law that flows from the case about the compelling weight of the Bill of Rights over acts of Parliament enacted after the Bill came into force. In Miller, the Supreme Court expressed itself on the subject for the first time.
