Subject field(s)
  • Handball
CONT

... field handball, team court game. Despite its status as an Olympic sport, the game is virtually unknown in the United States. Originated in central Europe in the early 1900s as an outdoor game, it combines elements of soccer and basketball. The fast-paced play of 7-or 11-person teams has as its object the hurling of a cantaloupe-sized ball into a goal. Players may run or dribble three steps with the ball, but most advancement comes from passing. Fouls result in free throws and penalty throws.

CONT

In 1938 the first Field Handball World Championship was played in Germany. ... At that time both the 11-a-side field handball played in Europe and a new 7-a-side indoor version preferred by the Scandinavians had equal popularity.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Handball
CONT

En 1938, les premiers championnats du monde de handball à onze se sont déroulés en Allemagne. [...] À cette époque, deux handball se côtoyaient, une version à 11 joueurs en Europe et une version à 7 joueurs en salle dans les pays scandinaves. Entre 1938 et 1966, les deux versions du handball étaient pratiquées et possédaient chacune leur championnat du monde.

CONT

Il ne faut pas en déduire pour autant que le handball à onze, aujourd'hui disparu, appartient à la préhistoire : le handball à sept est sans doute apparu le premier, mais celui à onze a connu son âge d'or notamment en Allemagne. Après vingt ans d'existence côte à côte, seule la formule à sept a donc finalement survécu.

OBS

handball : Cette graphie, puisée des Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandées par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française, est attestée dans le Petit Robert (2004).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Team Sports (General)
  • Basketball
DEF

... [A play in which] the offensive team moves the ball quickly from its backcourt to the forecourt before the defensive team has a chance to set up its defensive patterns.

OBS

The fast break, or free-lance, style is a helter-skelter type of offense. The ball is grabbed by the center as it rebounds off the backboard, and he passes it to one of his guards or forwards as quickly as possible. The idea is to give the opposition little or no time to regroup and set its defense. As a result, the fast-breaking team may have as many as three or four players going against two defenders. And a team that plays this style may get as many as 20 shots more than its opponents during a game.

Record 11 1993-03-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Penal Law
CONT

Since the enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 there have been many cases in which courts in Canada at all levels excepting the Supreme Court of Canada have expressed views on the meaning of "bringing the administration of justice into disrepute" within the meaning of s. 24(2) of the Charter. The most helpful views are contained in several cases extensively reviewed by Coleman, J., in Lysohirka et al.... and start with the comment of Lamer, J. A., in Rothman...(Pre-Charter) wherein he comments at page 152 :... "The judge, in determining whether under the circumstances the use of the statement in the proceedings would bring the administration of justice into disrepute, should consider all of the circumstances of the proceedings, the manner in which the statement was obtained, the degree to which there was a breach of social values, the seriousness of the charge and the effect the exclusion would have on the result of the proceedings. It must also be borne in mind that the investigation of crime and the detection of criminals is not a game to be governed by the Marquess of Queensbury rules. The authorities, in dealing with shrewd and often sophisticated criminals, must sometimes of necessity resort to tricks or other forms of deceit, and should not through the rule be hampered in their work. What should be repressed vigorously is conduct on their part that shocks the community". These comments are now often referred to as the "community shock" test....

  • Droit pénal
CONT

Le seuil d'exclusion (...) est fixé plus bas que celui qui découle du "critère de la conduite qui choque la collectivité" énoncé dans l'arrêt Rothman c. La Reine, (1981) 1 R.C.S. 640.

OBS

Les autorités, qui ont affaire à des criminels rusés et souvent sophistiqués, doivent parfois user d'artifices et d'autres formes de supercherie, et ne devraient pas être entravées dans leur travail par l'application de la règle. Ce qu'il faut réprimer avec vigueur, c'est, de leur part, une conduite qui choque la collectivité.
