The Ontario Review Board lacks jurisdiction to order the Attorney General to pay for psychiatric assessments.
The Ontario Review Board ordered an independent psychiatric assessment for an accused and directed the Attorney General to pay the costs.
The Attorney General successfully applied to quash the funding order.
The Board appealed.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that the Board lacks jurisdiction under Part XX.1 of the Criminal Code to order the Attorney General or any other party to pay for an assessment, and that the Board must bear the costs through its own budget.
Appeal dismissed as statement of claim alleging misappropriation of curriculum revealed no reasonable cause of action.
The appellant appealed a motion judge's decision striking his statement of claim for failing to reveal a reasonable cause of action.
The appellant alleged that a college, with the knowledge of the Ministry, misappropriated his paralegal curriculum.
The Court of Appeal agreed with the motion judge that the pleadings did not reveal a reasonable cause of action against the Ministry and that no amendment could save the claims.
The appeal was dismissed.
Tribunal exceeded jurisdiction by adding a party without allegations of personal statutory breach; bias claims dismissed.
The applicants sought judicial review of an interlocutory decision by the Agricultural, Food and Rural Affairs Tribunal adding a former human resources administrator as a respondent party to an unfair labour practice complaint.
The applicants also alleged a reasonable apprehension of bias against the Tribunal.
The Divisional Court held that the Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction by adding the administrator as a party, as the complaint contained no allegations that she personally breached the Agricultural Employees Protection Act.
The Court dismissed the bias allegations, finding that the applicants had waived their objections and failed to establish a reasonable apprehension of bias.
