<p>Our colleagues Hugues Lafrance-Rodrigue and Shirley Pelizer have prepared the following presentation to help us understand more about administrative law: [[Media:INTRO_TO_ADMINISTRATIVE_LAW.pdf]].</p></div></div>
<p>'''Administrative tribunals:'''</p>
* Were created to provide justice between citizens and the government.
* Also recognized as “Expert Tribunals”, they supply expertise and knowledge in a specific area of law.
* Get their powers from a statute, allowing decision-makers to decide only on those matters over which their tribunal has jurisdiction under the statute.
* Allow for matters to be heard and decisions to be made more quickly and efficiently.
* Alleviate workload and free up time for the courts (which are more costly to operate).
'''Natural justice and procedural fairness are procedures that administrative tribunal decision-makers must follow to act fairly; these include:'''
* Notice: The applicant must be given adequate notice of the nature of the proceedings and of the issue to be decided.
* Disclosure: Depending on the nature of the case, all evidence to be used against an applicant must be disclosed.
* Opportunity to present one’s case and to respond: The applicant must be provided with an opportunity to present whatever evidence they wish to be considered. While the right to be heard generally implies a hearing, it does not always mean an oral hearing. Submissions can be made in writing.
* Right to an impartial decision maker and freedom of bias
* Institutional independence and the person who hears the case must decide
* Duty to consider all the evidence
