Big admin law decision in Yatar. SCC holds statutory appeal rights do not reflect legislative intent to eliminate JR for issues outside the scope of that right; thus, it's an error to refuse to consider JRs on the basis of a limited appeal right : scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/sc… #cdnlaw

A major case on when/how courts should exercise their discretion to hear JRs arising from statutory schemes with limited appeal clauses. Potentially broad ramifications for a range of administrative tribunals. #cdnlaw

Very happy to see boards amending their student trustee policies to permit students of all faiths to run for this position. For the decision that led to this change, see canlii.ca/t/js97x - it was an honour to work on this case with @JFCY

Toronto’s Catholic school board, and others in the province, are changing their rules and allowing teens of all religions to run for student trustee — a move that comes in advance of upcoming elections. trib.al/7IN5eFN
