Privy Council Rules on Canadian Treaty Powers and Acts
London. The Judicial Committee upholds many Canadian measures but rules several acts ultra vires. It finds the Employment and Social Insurance Act, the Weekly Day of Rest and related laws beyond federal authority, while deeming others like the Dominion Trade and Industry Commission Act constitutional and approving mass buying and certain bankruptcy-like debt settlements. The ruling clarifies limits of treaty legislation under the Statute of Westminster and the distribution of powers between Dominion and provinces.
