none June 2026 June 2026 Supreme Court of Canada Cour suprême du Canada File:Supreme court of Canada in summer.jpg 1875 04 08 General court of appeal for Canada Justitia et Veritas Supreme Court Act, RSC 1985, c. S-26 Provincial and federal courts of appeal Retirement at age 75 Nine English and French Supreme Court of Canada The tables below list the judgments delivered by the Supreme Court of Canada during 1988. The judgments are listed in the order of publication in the Supreme Court Reports, starting with the first judgments of the year, rendered on January 28, 1988, and ending with the last judgment, rendered on December 22, 1988. The tables give a general illustration of the positions taken by each justice in each case, and how justices concurred or dissented with the decisions of the majority. The Supreme Court normally reserves its judgment after hearing argument on an appeal, and then gives its judgment at some later date. At the time of these judgments, the court would deliver its reserved decisions at a session in open court. In some cases, the court gives its judgment from the bench at the conclusion of the hearing, with a short outline of its reasons. Those judgments are included in the table. The court also could give its decision on an appeal from the bench at the conclusion of the hearing, reasons to follow at a later date. These tables include cases which were argued in a previous year and reserved, with the judgment given in 1988. Cases which were heard in 1988 and reserved, with judgment in a later year, are included in the article for the later year. The Court gave 106 judgments in 1988, reported in two volumes of the Supreme Court Reports. There were several changes in the membership of the court in 1988: Justice Estey resigned on April 21, 1988, after ten years on the court.Supreme Court of Canada: Biographies of Former Justices: The Honourable Willard Zebedee Estey.
