Motivation[edit]

The Supreme Court of Canada assigns a case number for all of their appeal rulings, and this case number is necessary to retrieve the case's docket. The case numbers are available elsewhere but not in a way that is linked to the case docket. As such, the addition of the case number could add significant value to the Wikidata page for each decision of the Supreme Court of Canada.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Copystar (talk • contribs) at 17:03, March 23, 2024‎ (UTC).
