Webinar Replay - Statutory Appeals: Where Did Vavilov Leave Us, What Do We Know Now, and What Issues Remain Undecided? (CPD 435.2)  

Qualifies for 1.0 CPD Hour.

In this excellent replay from November’s seminar, Navigating the New Landscape: Administrative Law Practice After Vavilov, Lauren Wihak of McDougall Gauley (Regina), discusses how the Supreme Court’s decision in Vavilov reshaped the framework for judicial review and statutory appeals, and the questions that remain about its practical application. This session will explore how Vavilov has influenced administrative law in Saskatchewan and beyond, and what unresolved issues continue to challenge practitioners. We’ll examine recent developments, including the implications of Yatar v TD Insurance Meloche Monnex, 2024 SCC 8, and clarify distinctions that matter for your practice.

• Understand the distinction between statutory appeals and judicial review—and why it matters for administrative law.
• Explore the impact of parallel judicial review applications and statutory appeals, with insights from Yatar v TD Insurance Meloche Monnex.
• Analyze whether Vavilov applies to internal appeals, and the differences between appeals to courts versus appellate tribunals.
• Identify unresolved questions and emerging issues in the statutory appeal framework.
