Ron Ellis faced a significant challenge of persuasion: the tediousness of administrative law is dangerous because it can mask significant injustice ... But precisely because these are the workaday issues of our society, it is critical that they not be ignored and left subject to a decision-making system so bereft of basic elements consistent with the rule of law that their validity is rendered questionable.\u003c\/p\u003e - Bob Tarantino (Literary Review of Canada, June 2013)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eCanadian legislatures regularly assign what are truly court functions to non-court, government tribunals. These executive branch \"judicial\" tribunals are surrogate courts and together comprise a little-known system of administrative justice that annually makes hundreds of thousands of contentious, life-altering judicial decisions concerning the everyday rights of both individuals and businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book demonstrates that, except perhaps in Quebec, the executive branch's administrative justice system is a justice system in name only. Failing to conform to rule-of-law principles or constitutional norms, its judicial tribunals are neither independent nor, in law, impartial and are only providentially competent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnjust by Design\u003c\/em\u003e describes a system in transcendent need of major restructuring. Written by a respected critic, it presents a modern theory of administrative justice fit for that purpose. It also provides detailed blueprints for the changes the author believes would be necessary if justice were to in fact assume its proper role in Canada's administrative justice system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Defeating the Rule of Law in the Administrative Justice System: Executive Branch Strategies and Tactics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Administrative \u003cem\u003eJustice:\u003c\/em\u003e Getting the Context and Terminology Clear, the Concepts Straight, and the Prescription Right\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Administrative Judicial Tribunals: The Inside Story\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Prelude to Reform\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 The Reform Proposal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Implementing the Reform Proposal: A Strategy for Change\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Meanwhile, a Toolkit for Litigators\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelect Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531054870808,"sku":"9780774824774","price":27.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/unjust-by-design-canadas-administrative-justice-system-hardback-9780774824774","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
