Synopsis

This book will be of interest to administrative law lawyers, and judges; politicians and bureaucrats; tribunal chairs and tribunal members; and legal scholars, law teachers, and students. It should also be of interest to the general public who may be surprised to learn that their everyday legal rights are more often decided by the flawed judicial tribunals described in this book, than by the courts.

About this title

Review:

The issues addressed in Unjust by Design are of critical, though largely unappreciated importance. Ron Ellis faced a significant challenge of persuasion: the tediousness of administrative law is dangerous because it can mask significant injustice ... But precisely because these are the workaday issues of our society, it is critical that they not be ignored and left subject to a decision-making system so bereft of basic elements consistent with the rule of law that their validity is rendered questionable. -- Bob Tarantino * Literary Review of Canada, June 2013 *

Book Description:

A book that demands revolutionary changes in Canada’s administrative justice system.
