When citing constitutional statues, use the statutes’ new title, not the title it was originally enacted under. To find the new title of the constitutional statute, consult the Schedule to the Constitution Act, 1982. If appropriate, provide the old title in parentheses at the end of the citation. If necessary, include a citation to Appendix II of RSC 1985 after the official citation.
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, s 11, Part I of the Constitution Act, 1982, being Schedule B to the Canada Act 1982 (UK), 1982, c 11.
