What is the current state of the law in the context of freedom to contract?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Skalbania (Trustee of) v. Wedgewood Village Estates Ltd., 1988 CanLII 3160 (BC SC):
I accept the submission of the Attorney General for Canada that the defendants have not found the "middle ground" such as was the case in Wilson v. B.C. (Med. Services Comm.). I am unable to characterize liberty to contract as anything other than a pure economic right unless the contract involves some activity which is itself a right protected under s. 7 of the Charter.
