Document Summary
There is a recognition that the state has a high level of power and can bring that power to individuals in making decisions that could seem unfair and infringe on there liberty. Therefore the court made the administrative law system to sort of balance out this great amount of power the state has. Administrative law: specialized area of law (definition in the textbook) Eg: employment insurance: who decides who makes decisions that deal with ei, the regulations set out are administered by administrative law. Administrative law is concerned with how programs are enacted and how decisions are made. Efficiency: means that having a tribunal is more efficient to deal with certain areas of decision making. Volume: too many decisions being made for our elected officials to be making them all. Consistency: you want consistent results, people are treated in the same fashion.
