Since the first edition of this book was published in 2008, administrative law in Canada has evolved considerably, due in part to a number of recent Supreme Court of Canada decisions. Canadian Administrative Law, 4th Edition by the Honourable Guy Régimbald, Mark Mancini and John J. Wilson provides an updated look at this important area of law, taking the new case law into account while still providing readers with a comprehensive guide to the subject. The authors provide readers with an understanding of the manner in which courts have applied the principles of administrative law, supplement this understanding with specific tools needed to advocate these principles, and how to apply that particular principle in a particular context.
The 4th Edition also offers an explanation of the theoretical foundations of judicial review and how they are supported by the constitution; the powers of the administrative decision maker and how they compare to those of the courts; an explanation of why and under what circumstances administrative decision makers determine both constitutional and jurisdictional issues; the standard of review; fairness; bias; and procedural issues.
