Since Nick Knight is a detective and Forever Knight a cop show set in Canada, the Canadian legal system is integral to the background of the series. The Constitution of Canada is the supreme law in Canada. It is an amalgam of codified acts (statute law) and uncodified traditions and conventions (common law). The core parts are found in the Constitution Act, 1867 (more usually known by its original name, the British North America Act), which outlines the system of government. The Constitution also includes the Constitution Act, 1982, which contains the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is an entrenched bill of rights.

  • Since Nick Knight is a detective and Forever Knight a cop show set in Canada, the Canadian legal system is integral to the background of the series. The Constitution of Canada is the supreme law in Canada. It is an amalgam of codified acts (statute law) and uncodified traditions and conventions (common law). The core parts are found in the Constitution Act, 1867 (more usually known by its original name, the British North America Act), which outlines the system of government. The Constitution also includes the Constitution Act, 1982, which contains the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is an entrenched bill of rights. The Canadian legal system has its foundation in the British common law system. Lower courts must follow the decisions of higher courts by which they are bound. (For instance, all Ontario lower courts are bound by the decisions of the Ontario Court of Appeal.) The Supreme Court of Canada has authority to bind all courts in the country with a single ruling.
