Legal experts are split on whether forthcoming decision will clarify rules Canadians can use to hold government agencies to account

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The Supreme Court of Canada is seen on April 25, 2014 in Ottawa. On Thursday, the Supreme Court has a chance to settle the chaotic state of administrative law – the rules which ordinary Canadians can use to hold government agencies to account in the courts.

Canada has hundreds of administrative tribunals and government officials with the authority to make decisions affecting people’s lives – everything from whether refugee claimants can stay to whether a landlord may evict a tenant to whether a prisoner can be released from solitary confinement. The other two cases involve the National Football League and Bell Media, which challenged a 2017 ruling by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission that permitted Canadians to see U.S. commercials on U.S. TV channels during the Super Bowl.

One problem, legal observers say, is that not all decision-makers are equal. “Deference is also shown to decision-makers with no legal training or special expertise,” University of Manitoba law professor Gerald Heckman said.
