Title
The Notion of 'Institutional Completeness' in Canada : The Contribution of the Judiciary Towards New Avenues of Non-Territorial Autonomy
Abstract
This working paper will first expose the concept of IC as it was first coined by Raymond Breton in the 1960s, its explanatory potential and will provide an overview of the academic commentary and criticisms that are addressed to the concept and its application in the literature. Then, the paper will explore different Canadian case studies where the concept of ‘institutional completeness’ has been used in academic literature, before turning to an exploration of a parallel trend in jurisprudence and to the contribution of the Canadian judiciary to the revival of IC in recent years, to its more modern interpretation and recent applications in court judgments as well as in legislations and a few non-judicial agreements.
