The issue was whether a provincial statute which altered the contractual liabilities of a benevolent organization, reducing its financial obligations to two individuals, was within the constitutional authority of the province of Quebec under the Constitution Act, 1867 (formerly known as the British North America Act, 1867).It was the first case where the Judicial Committee examined in detail the interplay between the list of federal powers in s. 91 of the Constitution Act, 1867 and the list of provincial powers in s. 92 of the Act. The Judicial Committee held that the legislation was within provincial jurisdiction as a matter of local and private interest, coming under section 92(16) of the Constitution Act, 1867. The statute did not intrude on federal jurisdiction over bankruptcy and insolvency, under s. 91(21) of the Constitution Act, 1867."@en }
