On January 19, 2004 the Montreal Gazette reported, "Orthodox Jews who live in a luxury Montreal condominium will ask the Supreme Court of Canada today to consider whether they bargained away their rights to religious freedom when they signed their deeds of purchase. Several religious organizations will side with five families as they argue that a condo rule barring them from putting huts on their balconies for about a week each year to celebrate a fall religious festival contravenes the Charter of Rights. The case is considered one of the most significant in the court's winter session because the outcome could determine whether private contracts can override the charter and human-rights legislation."
