Delegated Legislation and the Charter
Year: 2020
Type: preprint
Abstract: The Oakes framework clearly applies to reviewing primary legislation for Charter compliance and the Dore framework clearly applies to reviewing adjudicative/discretionary decisions for Charter compliance. However, it is an open question what framework applies to reviewing delegated legislation for Charter compliance. Given the hybrid nature of delegated legislation, and the competing rationales for each of the Oakes and Dore frameworks, I argue that a hybrid framework applies to reviewing delegated legislation for Charter compliance. This hybrid framework strikes the appropriate balance between requisite deference to administrative bodies and rigorous Charter review.
