The effects of any judicial decision on the common law, on the interpretation of statutes, or on any other application of law, can, in effect, be nullified by legislation, unless the particular decision of the Court in question involves application of the Canadian Constitution, in which case, the decision (in most cases) is completely binding on the legislative branch. This is especially true of decisions which touch upon the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms", as decisions under the Charter cannot be altered by the legislative branch unless the decision is overridden pursuant to section 33 of the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms" (the "notwithstanding clause").
