For the last decade the issues of tribunal independence and accountability have captured the imagination of people who work in the administrative tribunal sector. Independence has been seen as essential to ensuring that tribunals are able to carry out their statutory mandate and to allow for decisions based upon the evidence and the law rather than other factors, such as fear of retribution from government in certain controversial matters. Join us for an informative session outlining major issues relating to tribunal governance and tribunal independence. Taking advantage of the in-person meeting of the CBA National Administrative Law executive, which brings administrative law experts from across the country to Toronto, this session will present cross-Canada perspectives on the issues, with speakers, Katherine Crosbie and Michael Stephens from British Columbia, Ron Ellis from Ontario and Audrey Boctor from Quebec offering a unique opportunity to compare and contrast approaches to the issue from various regions of the country.
