Difference between revisions of "Review of Administrative Decisions for Public Complaints (5:III)"

When considering judicial review of federal tribunals, look at both the ''Federal Courts Act'', RSC 1985, c F-7, and the particular tribunal’s governing statute.  Often the governing statute sets out important limitation periods and procedures.  

The Federal Court Trial Division hears reviews of most federal tribunals.  However, the 16 tribunals listed in section 28 of the ''Federal Courts Act'' are reviewed by the Federal  Court of Appeal.  Examples of federal tribunals that are reviewed by the Federal Court of Appeal include the Canada Industrial Relations Board, Employment Insurance umpires, the Competition Tribunal, and the CRTC.  

The procedures for a federal judicial review are set out in s 18.1 of the ''Federal Courts Act''.
