Syndicat Northcrest v. Amselem, 2004 SCC 47, [2004] 2 S.C.R. 551

Case regarding a condominium restricting the building of succah huts on balconies by Jewish owners. At issue was the appropriate test to be applied when determining the “sincerity of belief”, and whether expert evidence was necessary to establish this belief. The Supreme Court of Canada held that a claimant need not show some sort of objective religious obligation, requirement or precept to invoke freedom of religion (ie. expert evidence was not required to invoke freedom of religion).
