In a legal case that will test elements of the Crown’s status in Canada, the Queen’s former representative in Quebec is invoking sovereign privilege to avoid going to trial on fraud charges.
The lawyer for Lise Thibault, Quebec’s former lieutenant-governor, will argue that his client benefits from a sovereign immunity that should stop the Crown’s criminal case from going further. The rare legal argument will be heard later this summer.
Lawyer Marc Labelle says his argument will centre on a little-used common-law statute that states that “the Queen can do no wrong” – in other words, that the Crown’s prosecution cannot prosecute the Crown.
