What is the effect of the Charter on the ownership of a home?

The comments of Cartwright J. in King v. Colonial Homes were made, of course, two and a half decades prior to the coming into effect of the Charter.

The substantive right discussed in King v. Colonial Homes is not synonymous with a Charter right. Cartwright J. was dealing there with a claim for property damage arising from a motor vehicle accident where the trial judge decided to discharge the jury and complete the trial himself as a result of a reference to insurance, which might have prejudiced the jury. Cartwright J. completed the passage referred to above with his conclusion that: … but I cannot think that a new trial should be directed by reason of a trial judge deciding to discharge the jury and complete the trial himself, even if the appellate court was satisfied that the course followed by the trial judge was wrong in law, if the court were also satisfied that any jury acting reasonably must inevitably have reached the same result as did the trial judge.
