Abstract
With the passage of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on April 17, 1982, all previous court precedents using gender in risk classification systems became obsolete. Three cases involving issues of discrimination in the use of age and gender now clarify the position of the Canadian judiciary. Based on the decisions in these three cases, this paper presents arguments that can be used in any jurisdiction to defend successfully the use of gender in a property /casualty risk classification system.
