Administrative Law — Canadian Doctrine

MITCanadaAdministrative

Canadian administrative law doctrine — the Vavilov framework for judicial review, standards of review (correctness and reasonableness at common law; patent unreasonableness preserved by BC's ATA s.58), duty of procedural fairness (the Baker factors), legitimate expectations, bias and the reasonable apprehension of bias test (Committee for Justice and Liberty; Wewaykum), jurisdictional error (as reconstituted post-Vavilov), delegated legislation, sub-delegation, fettering of discretion, improper purposes, taking irrelevant considerations into account, and the doctrine of legitimate deference to administrative decision-makers. Focused on Canadian and BC practice where the RTB, Human Rights Tribunal, and other statutory decision- makers operate. ALWAYS trigger when: user asks about judicial review, procedural fairness, standards of review, tribunal decisions, Vavilov, Baker, patent unreasonableness, or the doctrine underlying their BC judicial review petition.

Apache-2.0CanadaAdministrative

Use when interpreting specific OEA (R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26) provisions — compensation under s.13-18, procedural requirements under s.5-12, hearing and appeal timelines under s.23-30, or applying leading case law (Antrim, Highway Properties, Gossen, Diggon-Hibben, Crombie) to a statutory question.

The Municipal Code of Québec (C-27.1)

MITCanadaAdministrative

The Municipal Code of Québec (CQLR c. C-27.1) — the general statute for local (mainly rural) municipalities and regional county municipalities (RCMs/MRCs). Parsed from the current official LégisQuébec consolidation (retrieved 2026-07). THE SCOPE RULE (art. 1): the Code applies to every municipality subject to any inconsistent charter provision, but does NOT apply to a municipality governed by the Cities and Towns Act (c. C-19) or to northern, Cree or Naskapi villages — so Municipal Code and Cities and Towns Act are parallel regimes, not layers; art. 2 lets a municipality migrate by letters patent, and art. 4 deems a C-19 city to be a Code municipality for RCM purposes. THE ZONING TRAP: land-use planning and zoning are NOT in this Code — they are in the Act respecting land use planning and development (c. A-19.1). Verified: all 10 cross-references to A-19.1 in the Code are incidental (RCM governance, voting thresholds, withdrawal rights); none confers a planning power. But the ENFORCEMENT seam runs back here — art. 492 inspection, art. 455 fines, art. 437.3 access prohibition and arts. 689-692 annulment all apply to by-laws adopted under A-19.1. Covers: the by-law lifecycle (art. 445's notice of motion, draft filing, passing at a different sitting no earlier than the second day, and the rule that contravening those paragraphs ENTAILS THE NULLITY of the by-law; art. 450 coming into force on publication; art. 451/431 publication by public notice posted at two places; art. 455 fine ceilings of $1,000/$2,000 first offence and $2,000/$4,000 subsequent); contesting a by-law (arts. 689-692 — annulment for illegality by any interested party on a $50 deposit, PRESCRIBED BY THREE MONTHS FROM PASSING, appeal to the Court of Appeal within 30 days); the council (art. 149 public sittings, art. 150's statutory question period whose modalities but not existence may be shaped by by-law, art.
