Re Drummond Wren
Re Drummond Wren [1945] O.R. 778 (Ont. H.C.) is a decision by the Ontario High Court, presided by Justice MacKay, regarding the validity of a racially motivated restrictive covenant. Drummond Wren brought forward an action to have a restrictive covenant placed on a parcel of land he owned to be declared invalid. The covenant prohibited the land to be sold to "Jews, or persons of objectionable nationality". This case pre-dates the creation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and is an example of how issues regarding human rights were considered before being expressly stated in statute.
