Overview

“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more”
― Shakespeare, Henry V, Act III, Scene 1

Administrative law seems always to be in a state of flux and evolution. Judges rarely feel they can step into the stream of jurisprudence twice. At a minimum, judges need annual updates on the state of the law, and an opportunity to reflect on and critique recent developments. This seminar will start off with a refresher on recent cases from the Supreme Court of Canada. The remainder of the day will explore some of the deeper questions that come out of the jurisprudence. These questions include: Are there different ways of thinking about standards of review and how they are to be applied? As a practical matter, how do judges actually apply administrative law principles in their day-to-day work? If reviewing judges are now supposed to look for supporting material in the record, is there a limit on how far they can go? Does Baker still represent the state of the art on fairness and the duty to give reasons? The questions to be addressed at this seminar represent some of the most pressing issues in administrative law today.
