Under current law, parties which take the Federal Government to court have no guarantee that a favorable judgment will be executed. The Federal Government's compliance with the court decision is at its own discretion. The problem with this law is that it artificially transforms the Federal Government into a monolith, when in fact it is engaged in diversified activities where immunity from the execution of court orders is not always appropriate. When the Federal Government pursues industrial and commercial activities through Crown corporations, there is no justification for the present immunity. The present immunity should be maintained, however, in areas where the Federal Government's public service activities are primary. In areas where the Federal Government acts as a merchant or contractor, it should be subject to a financial penalty upon refusing to comply in the execution of a court judgment in favor of a private party. 165-item bibliography and table of cases.
