R v Beaulac
''R v Beaulac'' () 1 S.C.R. 768 is a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada on language rights. Notably, the majority adopted a liberal and purposive interpretation of language rights in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, overturning conservative case law such as ''Société des Acadiens v. Association of Parents'' (1986). As the majority wrote, "To the extent that ''Société des Acadiens du Nouveau-Brunswick''... stands for a restrictive interpretation of language rights, it is to be rejected."〔Para. 25.〕 ==Background== Jean Victor Beaulac was accused of murder and was brought before the British Columbia Supreme Court and convicted. Beaulac claimed rights under section 530 of the Criminal Code, which allows for the accused to be heard in court in his or her language, if it is one of the official languages of Canada, English or French. The Supreme Court noted in its 1999 decision that this was the first time it had ever considered this Criminal Code right.〔Para. 7.〕 At a lower level, Beaulac had been denied this right to be heard in French, since one judge found Beaulac's skills in English were adequate though not perfect.
