Vavilov Update
Last seminar we discussed Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Vavilov, 2019 SCC 65 in detail, where the Supreme Court of Canada re-visited the standard of review analysis that applies to every statutory decision, including those made by local governments.[1] Well, another year has gone by and it has been a busy year in court for local governments making sense of Vavilov. This paper will discuss the continuing effects of Vavilov and recent cases applying Vavilov in the local government context in British Columbia.
