Caselaw Update
Local government law is diverse and the cases that touch on local government issues are no different. The past few years have seen many challenges to zoning and planning bylaws, cases considering liability for nuisance and negligence, an important decision regarding the line between prohibition and regulation in the context of ministerial approvals, and cases across the country concerning conflict of interest of local elected officials. Some of these are addressed in their own seminar papers (including conflict of interest). Some of this diversity is captured here.
