What is one of the remedies available under section 24(1) of the Charter?

The correct remedy under section 24(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is primarily focused on the exclusion of evidence obtained in violation of the Charter rights. This section gives the courts the power to ensure that individuals whose rights have been infringed upon may seek a remedy that is appropriate and just in the circumstances.

In the context of the choices given, the potential civil suits option does not directly relate to the remedies outlined in section 24(1). While civil suits may be pursued in some cases related to Charter violations, they are not the specific remedy mentioned under this section. The emphasis of section 24(1) is on addressing the immediate infringement of rights through remedies tailored specifically to the violation itself, such as the exclusion of evidence that was obtained in a way that infringes on an individual’s rights guaranteed by the Charter.

Judicial review and potential disciplinary actions can also be outcomes of legal proceedings but are not direct remedies provided under section 24(1). Understanding this distinction clarifies why the focus should be on remedies directly linked to the rights laid out in the Charter, particularly the exclusionary rule concerning improperly obtained evidence.
