"If a government action is inconsistent with the Charter, s. 24 provides remedies for the inconsistency. Section 24(1) permits a �court of competent jurisdiction� to provide �such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances�. A �court of competent jurisdiction� is one that possesses (1) jurisdiction over the person; (2) jurisdiction over the subject matter; and (3) jurisdiction to grant the remedy."
