In its judgment, the Court of Appeal attempted to define the extent of the language duties imposed on institutions of the province of New Brunswick in relation to bilingualism in the courts, applying the modern approach to statutory interpretation. That approach involves examining the purpose of the impugned provision, and the purpose of the Act itself, the history of the particular provision, the general scheme of the Act and the ordinary and grammatical sense of the provision, and the intention of the Legislature. 1, record 4, English, - modern%20approach%20to%20statutory%20interpretation

With these general considerations in mind, the Court of Appeal rejected arguments of the Attorney General of Ontario to the effect that the lower court decision effectively created a free-standing minority language right(where none existed before) capable of impugning the validity of a provincial statute or requiring the province to act in a specific manner. 1, record 5, English, - free%2Dstanding%20minority%20language%20right
