Administrative law 2014 FCA 102

Canada (Attorney General) v. Vorobyov

The Tribunal was correct that the Minister of Public Safety and CBSA lacked statutory authority to conduct the ministerial review under the Monetary Penalties Act; the omission of that Minister from the Act is an under-inclusion that must be remedied by Parliament, not the courts; the Tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction by voiding the Notice of Violation and the appropriate remedy is to remit the misdirected Ministerial review to the proper Minister (Minister of Agriculture) with effect from the original filing date.

  • Ministerial authority
  • Interpretation act s.24(2)
  • Monetary penalties act s.2, s.9, s.13, s.14
  • Declaratory relief
  • Jurisdiction by necessary implication
  • Drafting error vs legislative gap
