In Saskatchewan administrative law and professional discipline cases, typically the Court of King’s Bench has jurisdiction to review the decisions of professional disciplinary bodies. This includes the power to overturn decisions that are found to be unfair or unreasonable, and to order professional disciplinary bodies to reconsider their decisions.
In “national” administrative law cases, the Federal Court of Canada has jurisdiction to review the decisions of federal administrative tribunals (e.g., decisions about immigration, First Nations governance, human rights). This includes the power to overturn decisions that are found to be errors of law, errors of fact, or procedural fairness violations.
The Court plays an important role in ensuring that professional disciplinary bodies and federal administrative tribunals act fairly and reasonably. The Court’s review of decisions in these cases helps to protect the rights of individuals and businesses, and to promote the public interest.
If you are involved in a professional discipline or administrative law case, you may have the right to appeal the decision to the Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan, or the Federal Court of Canada. If you are considering appealing a decision, it is important to seek legal advice to understand your rights and options.
