Description
This casebook was compiled by Alexandra Flynn, Associate Professor, Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia. Jennifer Nguyen provided outstanding research support – indeed, this book would not have been possible without Jennifer’s excellent suggestions and tremendous work.
Administrative agencies are a powerful part of modern government and crucial to our daily lives. There are many excellent Administrative Law textbooks. This one – which has the benefit of being open-source - was created to support my Administrative Law course at Allard School of Law, which surveys the legal framework of administrative bodies. The course – and the book – provide an overview of the legal framework (rules, principles, and policy considerations) that shape the powers of these administrative decision-makers in a diverse range of areas including human rights, municipal law, First Nations governance, and professional self-governance. In particular, the book provides material on how courts review public bodies based on the principles and rules that constrain their decision-making.
I am especially grateful to Professor Sam Beswick for inspiring me to create this book (and for being such a fabulous colleague). I learn so much from him. Thanks as well to Professors Jocelyn Stacey and Mary Liston for many insightful conversations on Administrative Law pedagogy. But the biggest thanks is for my wonderful students – I feel so grateful for the chance to steward you through this fascinating area of law.
