R v Coote
http://dbpedia.org/resource/R_v_Coote an entity of type: Abstraction100002137
R v Coote is a Canadian constitutional law decision dealing with the powers of the provinces under the British North America Act, 1867 (now the Constitution Act, 1867). The point in issue was whether Quebec had the constitutional authority to create a mandatory inquiry power for provincial fire commissioners. The case was ultimately decided by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, at that time the court of last resort for Canada within the British Empire. It was the first decision by the Judicial Committee analysing the division of powers under the Constitution of Canada.

The point in issue was whether Quebec had the constitutional authority to create a mandatory inquiry power for provincial fire commissioners. The case was ultimately decided by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, at that time the court of last resort for Canada within the British Empire. It was the first decision by the Judicial Committee analysing the division of powers under the Constitution of Canada. The Judicial Committee held that the mandatory inquiry power was within provincial authority. The Judicial Committee also held that evidence given by an individual in response to a mandatory inquiry could later be used as evidence against that individual in a criminal prosecution for arson.
