What are the rights and privileges of a separate school?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Moose Jaw School District No. 1 v. Saskatchewan (Attorney General), 1973 CanLII 905 (SK QB):
In our own Court en banc long ago, Lamont J. had this to say about “rights and privileges” in the present context: “A right or privilege with respect to separate schools is some special right or claim belonging to, or immunity, benefit, or advantage enjoyed by, a person or class of persons with reference to separate schools, over and above those rights enjoyed at common law or under statutory enactment by the inhabitants of the province at large. It is some private or peculiar right or privilege as opposed to the rights possessed by the community”: see Regina School District v. Grattan Separate School Trustees (1914), 1914 CanLII 303 (SK CA), 7 Sask L.R. 451, 7 W.W.R. 7 at 11, 29 W.L.R. 399, 18 D.L.R. 571, reversed 1915 CanLII 594 (SCC), 50 S.C.R. 589, 7 W.W.R. 1248, 8 W.W.R. 156, 31 W.L.R. 82, 21 D.L.R. 162.
