Canada’s highest ranking judge says there is a profound disconnect between the ideal of the right to justice and the reality that many people face. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin of the Supreme Court of Canada said the country’s justice system ranks with the best in the world. However, she says there are more and more people who are being hindered by barriers such as cost, delay and complex procedures. “A court system where some ride to justice in a Ferrari while others don’t get out of the garage falls short of the ideal of justice for all,”
