Abstract

The article presents a three-part analysis of the distinctive features of the Canadian legal structure. It states that the Canada's State Community Act does not keep foreign states from raising pleas of jurisdictional immunity. Moreover, it also contends that the problems and ambiguity that were posed can be addressed through dynamic and contextual translation of the Act's provisions.
