Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of central registry files containing legal opinions prepared by the Department of Justice. These files typically resulted from an inquiry received by the Department of Justice on a wide variety of subjects from another department or agency of the federal government. A legal opinion on the matter was prepared by the Department of Justice and a reply sent to the department or agency from which the inquiry was received. These volumes contain also files that were retained by the Department of Justice because they contained "material of precedential value". Some examples of the subjects contained in these files are matters related to military service, certification of unions under the Trade Union Act, disallowance of provincial legislation by the federal government, division of powers cases, immigration, and issues arising from the purchase of goods and services by the federal government. For the years 1904-1934, there are some Civil Litigation Registry Files and Property Registry Files containing legal opinions on various matters. These "letter files" are distinguished by the file numbering system, which features the letter A, B, C or D followed by a sequential number. Also present in these volumes are a number of "Judges Files", especially for those judges who were the subject of allegations of misconduct, and some files on matters related to extradition and/or attempted extradition by the Canadian government.
