# 2019 reasons of the Supreme Court of Canada

The table below lists the decisions (known as reasons) delivered from the bench by the Supreme Court of Canada during 2019. The table illustrates what reasons were filed by each justice in each case, and which justices joined each reason.

## Reasons

| Delivered the Court's reason | Joined the Court's reason | Filed a concurrence | Joined a concurrence |
| Filed a dissent | Joined a dissent | Filed a concurrence/dissent | Joined a concurrence/dissent |
| Did not participate in the judgment | Did not participate in the final disposition of the judgment | Not a member of the Court at the time of hearing or delivering |
| Decisions that do not note a Justice delivering the Court's reason are per coram. Multiple concurrences and dissents within a case are numbered, with joining votes numbered accordingly. Justices occasionally join multiple reasons in a single case; each vote is subdivided accordingly. Multiple unnumbered reasons are jointly written or delivered. Decisions that are given orally from the bench are denoted by a "V"; per coram decisions delivered orally from the bench only note a "V" on the most senior justice on the panel. An asterisk ( * ) in the Court's opinion denotes that it was only a majority in part or a plurality. ||||
