Which remedy is specifically focused on charter rights violations?

The chosen remedy, Section 24(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, specifically addresses violations of Charter rights. Under this provision, individuals who have been deprived of their rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Charter can apply to a court for a remedy that is just and appropriate in the circumstances. This can include various forms of relief, such as quashing unlawful actions by government officials or awarding damages when appropriate.

This aspect of Section 24(1) is significant because it provides a direct legal mechanism for individuals to seek redress specifically connected to the infringement of their constitutional rights. It reflects the commitment of the legal framework to uphold and protect the rule of law and individual rights in Canada.

Damages can be awarded in a variety of legal contexts and are not limited to Charter issues. Injunctions are preventive measures that can be used to stop a party from acting in a way that may breach rights but do not inherently address Charter violations.
