Abstract (summary)

L'activisme judiciaire est-il un moyen de pallier aux iniquites de nos systemes et a l'inaction des acteurs politiques? Quelles sont les limites du pouvoir judiciaire? Quel role revient aux titulaires de l'autorite judiciaire au sein de l'Etat democratique? Le droit positif, c'est-a-dire l'ensemble des regles de droit et principes juridiques en vigueur dans un Etat donne, definit la competence du pouvoir judiciaire. En vertu de la theorie de la "justiciabilite", les questions qui se situent a l'exterieur de ce cadre juridique seraient "non-justiciables". Les tribunaux n'ayant pas juridiction sur ce type de questions, ils devraient deferer la responsabilite d'y repondre aux autorites competentes. La "justiciabilite" refere, par consequent, a la predisposition d'une question ou d'un litige a etre resolu par le biais de normes, principes et techniques propres au domaine juridique. Ce memoire se veut une analyse de la theorie de la "justiciabilite" et de la doctrine des questions politiques, ainsi qu'une reflexion sur l'internet de ces dernieres en droit canadien.

Is judicial activism a way to compensate for the inequities of our systems and the inaction of political actors? What are the limits of judicial power? What role belongs to the holders of judicial authority within the democratic State? Positive law, that is to say all the rules of law and legal principles in force in a given State, defines the competence of the judicial power. Under the theory of "justiciability", issues that lie outside this legal framework would be "non-justiciable". Since the courts do not have jurisdiction over these types of questions, they should defer the responsibility for responding to them to the competent authorities. “Justiciability” refers, therefore, to the predisposition of a question or dispute to be resolved by means of norms, principles and techniques specific to the legal field. This dissertation is intended to be an analysis of the theory of "justiciability" and the doctrine of political questions, as well as a reflection on the Internet of the latter in Canadian law.
