The Act was brought into force by the Governor General-in-Council on 26 March 2015. Some academics disagreed over the act's constitutionality and effectiveness on altering the line of succession to the Canadian throne. A court motion filed in Ontario for the law to be found unconstitutional was dismissed. Another court motion was filed in the Superior Court of Quebec. In 2016, the Superior Court dismissed the application, upholding the Act. The Quebec Court of Appeal upheld that ruling in 2019. In 2020, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed an application for leave to appeal, leaving the Court of Appeal decision standing.
