Hunt v T&N plc
''Hunt v T&N plc'', () 4 S.C.R. 289 is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on conflict of laws. The Court ruled that the Quebec law prohibiting the removal of company documents from the province was constitutionally inapplicable to a British Columbia court order. The decision was significant in that it affirmed much of the reasoning from ''Morguard Investments Ltd. v. De Savoye'' (1990) and further held that the principles first identified in Morguard are fundamental to the constitution.
==Background==
George Hunt, a resident of British Columbia, was diagnosed with cancer caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres from a product that was manufactured in Quebec. As part of his action in British Columbia he tried to get an order to retrieve documents from the manufacturer in Quebec. The Quebec ''Business Concerns Records Act'' prohibited the removal of documents outside of the province. Hunt attempted to challenge the law as unconstitutional.
Hunt attempted to argue that ''Morguard'' - which allowed for inter-provincial enforcement of orders - could equally apply for constitutional challenges.
This was the second appearance before the Supreme Court of Canada for this case. The Court had previously ruled on the question of where a statement of claim could be struck out for want of a reasonable claim, stating that striking out cannot be justified because a pleading reveals "an arguable, difficult or important point of law". On the contrary, it may well be critical that the action be allowed to proceed.〔(''Hunt v. Carey Canada Inc.'', 1990 CanLII 90 (SCC) ), () 2 SCR 959; 74 DLR (4th) 321; () 6 WWR 385; 49 BCLR (2d) 273〕
