This issue gathers together papers from participants in a CCS workshop on the horizontal effect of Charter rights, held at UBC 's Allard School of Law in January 2024. The workshop addressed issues surrounding the case of Cool World v Twitter, which involves a PR firm contesting Twitter's refusal to run paid ads for a client by arguing that Twitter's common law rights should be applied in a way that's consistent with the Charter value of free expression. Some of the papers address Cool World directly, while others address the surrounding legal framework derived from RWDSU v Dolphin Delivery and Hill v Church of Scientology. All engage with questions about the manner in which the Charter applies and should apply to private legal relations.
