Interveners at the Supreme Court of Canada: Revisited (2009–2018)

By Sancho McCann · 2019-05-16, edited: 2019-05-22

Interveners revisited

I previously wrote about interveners at the Supreme Court of Canada here. (Interveners, like amici curiae in the US, are third parties that provide supplemental arguments in a case.) In that analysis, I observed that as-of-right appeals attracted many fewer interveners than did discretionary appeals. That was almost two years ago, so it is time for an update. This updated analysis is based on a more robust and complete collection of data spanning 2009–2018.Some of the fresh analysis was inspired by suggestions from Professor Emma Cunliffe, one of my criminal law professors. I also benefited from viewing an intervener dataset that she had coded but my analysis here is based on a fresh data acquisition and coding.

The main takeaways:

The rate of interventions has increased slightly over the past ten years: from about 60% to about 66%.
The court has been increasingly willing to dispose of cases in as-of-right criminal appeals with very brief judgments that do little more than express agreement with one of the decisions from the lower court.
The cases that are disposed of in the manner just described (very brief judgments) are also the cases that tend to attract fewer interveners. As-of-right criminal appeals that result in more lengthy, substantive reasons seem to attract interveners at a rate closer to that of criminal appeals on the discretionary docket, but there may still be a gap.

Background: as-of-right appeals

Most of the caseload at the Supreme Court of Canada consists of discretionary appeals: the appellant requests that their appeal be heard and the Court decides whether they will hear the case. But, about 20–25% of the caseload at the Supreme Court of Canada consists of appeals that are heard “as of right”—automatically. As-of-right appeals generally involve indictable criminal offenses where one of the judges at the lower court disagreed with their court’s decision.Criminal Code, RSC 1985, c C-46, ss 691–693.

Overall intervention rate

The rate of interventions has increased slightly over the past ten years: from about 60% to about 66%. And earlier, from 2000–2008, interveners participated in only about 50% of cases at the Supreme Court of Canada.See Benjamin Alarie & Andrew James Green, “Interventions at the Supreme Court of Canada: Accuracy, Affiliation, and Acceptance” (2010) 48:3 Osgoode Hall Law Journal 381.

Keeping it short

The Court has been increasingly willing to dispose of as-of-right criminal appeals via a very short judgment—often a single paragraph that is delivered orally from the bench.

If the Court’s decision to dispose of a case with a very short, single-paragraph judgment signals that the case did not present any complex issues, that might explain some of the discrepancy between interveners in as-of-right criminal appeals and other appeals.

To give a sense of what these short judgments look like, here is an example from R v Cody, 2017 SCC 25.

The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by
[1] Abella J.—A majority of this Court is of the view that the appeal should be allowed substantially for the reasons of Hoegg J.A.
[2] Justice Côté would dismiss the appeal substantially for the reasons of the majority in the Court of Appeal.

This trend has been observed and criticized elsewhere.See Natasha Novac, Bailey Fox & Nora Parker, “2018 at the Supreme Court: A Year in Review”, TheCourt.ca (12 February 2019) (“[w]hile oral judgments are an efficient way for the SCC to dispense with straightforward appeals, too many oral judgments risks obscuring the reasoning behind the Court’s decisions, which in turn may hinder the development of jurisprudence”).,See Adam Goldenberg, “R v GTD: The Supreme Court of Canada decides a Charter case from the bench—again”, McCarthy Tétrault LLP (blog) (5 March 2018) (“[w]hen the Court gives only brief oral reasons for judgment, it narrows its circle of its analysis almost to the vanishing point”).

As the Court has increasingly been willing to use short judgments to dispose of as-of-right criminal appeals, those haven’t tended to be the as-of-right appeals that have attracted interveners.

As the Court has been more selective regarding the as-of-right criminal appeals for which it will provide substantive judgments, those tend to also be the appeals that attracted interveners.

It is not possible to tell whether interveners cause the Court to deliver a more substantive judgment or whether there is a confounding cause. Perhaps appeals that present more complex issues simultaneously attract interveners and also demand a more substantive judgment.

A source familiar with public-interest interveners listed various factors that they consider before intervening: Do they have the capacity in the short time-frame? Do they have subject-area expertise? Is there a matter of policy that exceeds the arguments being made by the actual parties in the case? Is there a risk that poor reasoning in this case will be a problem in future cases?

This list doesn’t help tease apart the causation. A public-interest intervener might introduce issues into the case that would have not otherwise been addressed, causing the court to release more substantive reasons. Or, they might tend to intervene when those issues are already apparent and will be addressed regardless, with the public-interest interveners just making sure that their particular perspective on the issue is heard.

Still a gap?

But even within this group of as-of-right criminal appeals that yield substantive judgments, the proportion of appeals that attract interveners still seems to lag behind the proportion of discretionary criminal appeals that attract interveners.

Even looking only at the subset of as-of-right criminal appeals that are more likely to have attracted interveners (those that result in substantive judgments), the rate of interventions still lags behind that of discretionary criminal appeals. This is a small sample, but several of the years on their own show a significant difference between proportions (using Fisher’s exact test), and when pooled together across all years, the aggregate proportions also present a significant difference (using Fisher’s exact test and correcting for multiple comparisons).

The data

I’ve published the Python code that I used to retrieve and clean up the raw data from the Supreme Court’s website. I’ve also published the cleaned-up data in a Google Spreadsheet. It doesn’t contain my own coding for short/substantive decisions, but it should be a good starting point for any research or analysis that you want to do. I’ve also reproduced that same data below in what I hope is an easy-to-explore table format. For grouping into years, I’ve relied on the year from the neutral citation.

If you want slightly different data extracted or to have it in a different format, just get in touch and I can help you out.

This data is not an exact reproduction of what you’ll see on the Supreme Court’s website. The data from the Supreme Court doesn’t use a consistent name for each intervener (e.g. “Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada” and “Chartered Professional Accountants Canada”) and there are even some spelling errors (e.g. “British Columbia Civil Liberties Asssociation”). Often, several entities intervene together (e.g. “Dairy Farmers of Canada, Egg Farmers of Canada, Chicken Farmers of Canada, Turkey Farmers of Canada, Canadian Hatching Egg Producers”). In the dataset that I’ve provided, these entities are separated, and every entity is referred to consistently across all appeals that they intervene in. This should help if you want to do any aggregation or counting. This file shows the sets of interveners that are considered equivalent and also those that are separated out of lists of interveners.

Please let me know if you notice any interveners that are not named consistently in this dataset of if I’ve chosen an incorrect name as the canonical name.
