Christie v York
''Christie v York'' (1939), () S.C.R. 139 is a famous decision of the Supreme Court of Canada where the Court allowed private establishments to discriminate on the basis of free enterprise.
==Background==
Fred Christie was a black chauffeur in Montreal. On July 11, 1936, Christie and several friends went to watch a hockey game at the Forum. Afterwards they went to a local tavern where the bartender refused to serve Christie on account of the bar's policy against blacks. Christie complained and called the police in protest but to little effect.
Christie brought an action against the bar for $200.
At trial, Christie was awarded costs and an additional $25. The judge found that section 33 of the Quebec Licence Act, which stated that "No licensee for a restaurant may refuse without reasonable cause, to give food to travellers", was violated by the bar's policy. On appeal, the Court of King's Bench found in favour of the bar on account that section 33 did not apply, rather, "a merchant or trader is free to carry on his business in the manner he conceives to be best for that business".
