InCanadian constitutional law, thedialogue principle is an approach to the interpretation of theCanadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms wherejudicial review of legislation is said to be part of a "dialogue" between the legislatures and the courts. It specifically involves governments drafting legislation in response to court rulings and courts acknowledging the effort if the new legislation is challenged.
This approach was introduced by constitutional scholarsPeter Hogg and Allison Bushell, and has had acceptance in much of the academic world and in courts. Nevertheless, it remains a controversial principle as it attempts to justify what many critics see asjudicial activism in the courts.
