662 is a famous pre-Charter decision from the Supreme Court of Canada on freedom of expression and the criminal law power under the Constitution Act, 1867.
The issue before the Supreme Court was whether the regulation of morality alone constitutes a criminal law.
In a five to four decision the Court held that the law was concerning property and civil rights under section 92(13) of the B.N.A.
Ritchie J., writing for the majority found that the pith and substance of the Act concerned the "regulation, supervision and control" of film, a form of private property, in the province.
Laskin CJ., in dissent, found that the law had no connection with Property and Civil Rights.
