Professors Chris Hunt and Micah Rankin’s article “Anonymity, the Rule of Law and the Shriveling of the Biographical Core” (2015) 61:1 McGill Law Journal 193, examines the Supreme Court of Canada’s recent decision in R v Spencer, 2014 SCC 43, which determined that individuals have a Charter-protected privacy interest in their internet subscriber information.

Hunt and Rankin analyze Spencer in the broader context of recent Supreme Court jurisprudence and argue that the decision will likely have a transformative impact on privacy claims in the future.
