The Fundamentals of Administrative Law

This program assumes that delegates know the basic concepts and terminology of administrative law, whether from a course at law school or attending our popular two-day Fundamentals course. If you need a refresher, or if the law has changed since you studied the basics, we recommend this valuable condensed workshop.

• Guideline, policy and rule-making authority
• Independence and bias: key legal principles
• What is a privative clause, and what is its practical implication?
• Burden of proof, standard of proof

  • sources of authority
  • difference from appeals
  • remedies
  • what does “standard of review” mean?
• Leading cases in administrative law

Emily Lawrence advocates for clients in civil, commercial and pension disputes, represents unions and employees in labour and employment law matters, and acts as prosecutor and as defense counsel before professional disciplinary tribunals. She regularly appears before courts of all levels, administrative tribunals, and boards of arbitration.
