Advocates for the Rule of Law has brought a motion to intervene in Minister of Citizenship and Immigration v Vavilov, Bell Canada v. Canada (Attorney General),<\/em>and National Football League v. Canada (Attorney General)<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>which will come before the Supreme Court of Canada on December 4-6, 2018.<\/p>\n

In its reasons granting leave to appeal, the Supreme Court stated as follows: \u201cThe court is of the view that these appeals provide an opportunity to consider the nature and scope of judicial review of administrative action, as addressed in\u00a0Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick<\/em>, [2008] 1 S.C.R. 190, 2008 SCC 9, and subsequent cases\u201d. If granted intervener status this will give ARL an opportunity to be heard in one of the most important administrative law cases since Dunsmuir<\/em>.<\/p>\n

ARL would like to thank its pro-bono counsel, Adam Goldenberg<\/a> and Robyn Gifford<\/a> at McCarthy T\u00e9trault, for their hard work in putting together excellent intervention materials.<\/p>\n
