Report on the Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick Roundtable

On June 4, 2008, the Faculty of Law hosted a Roundtable on the Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick decision from the Supreme Court of Canada (handed down in March of 2008).  The aim of the Roundtable was to explore the implications of this decision for the development of Administrative Law, and in particular the Court's wide-ranging discussion of the standard of judicial review of administrative action, deference, and the applicability of procedural fairness to public office holders.

The Roundtable organizers have prepared a summary of the Roundtable proceedings in the hope that it will serve as a catalyst for further discussion and debate.

We invite discussion about this issue on our Faculty Blog. The summary can be found at the Administrative Law section of the blog, and future posts on specific aspects of the discussion may follow in the same section.

Background information and resources can be found on the Dunsmuir Roundtable web page.
