    canadian tax journal / revue fiscale canadienne (2008) vol. 56, no 3, 661 - 707 The Dividing Line Between the Jurisdictions of the Tax Court of Canada and Other Superior Courts David Jacyk* P r é c i s Le droit fiscal est sans aucun doute l’une des branches du droit les plus exigeantes et les plus complexes au Canada. On pourrait penser qu’en matière de droit fiscal, la question de la juridiction des tribunaux se pose très simplement en ces termes : quel tribunal peut statuer sur les affaires qui concernent l’administration de la législation fiscale? Pourtant, cette question à elle seule a fait l’objet d’un grand nombre de litiges depuis des décennies, devant différents tribunaux de première instance et d’appel partout au Canada, ce qui montre bien la complexité de la question de la compétence des tribunaux dans un état fédéral, et ce, même dans un domaine de droit comme la fiscalité qui est pourtant bien circonscrit. L’abondance de jurisprudence sur la question de la juridiction est particulièrement importante depuis quelques années, et elle comporte plusieurs décisions des cours d’appel qui ont contribué à éclaircir davantage cette question. Ce nouvel éclairage a donné lieu à des développements très appréciés. En reconstituant l’évolution du droit dans ce domaine, le présent article brosse un portrait détaillé et complet du droit et propose une analyse qui s’appuie sur les étapes suivantes : n l’examen de la structure des tribunaux fédéraux et en fiscalité; n la reconstitution de l’évolution de la jurisprudence aussi bien avant qu’après la réorganisation au fédéral du réseau des cours d’appel en fiscalité de 1991; n la prise en compte des décisions des tribunaux provinciaux qui se sont penchés sur cette question de façon indépendante du réseau des tribunaux fédéraux; n la prise en compte de l’ensemble des décisions en matière de rectification, un domaine qui a donné lieu à mon avis à des anomalies, mais des résultats tout de même gérables et prévisibles; * Of the Department of Justice, Ottawa.

  • Thesis Submitted in Conformity with the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Laws (LL.M) Graduate Department of the Faculty of Law University of Toronto
    “The Life of a Reserve”: How Might We Improve the Structure, Content, Accessibility, Length & Timeliness of Judicial Decisions? by Jon Khan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws (LL.M) Graduate Department of the Faculty of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Jon Khan (2019) “The Life of a Reserve”: How Might We Improve the Structure, Content, Accessibility, Length & Timeliness of Judicial Decisions? Jon Khan Masters of Law Faculty of Law University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This thesis explains how judicial decisions may impact access to justice and how might we make decisions a better source of data while also making them more timely, concise, accessible, and consistent. It examines the historical and theoretical underpinnings of Canadian decisions and the relationship of decision-writing to decision-making. It then discusses the results of an original empirical study of the evolution of British Columbia trial decisions over the last forty years and a survey of Canadian courts. It argues that the current process for writing and issuing Canadian judicial decisions likely does not further the goals of access to justice and may even hinder them. To improve access to justice, it suggests that governments, academics, and judiciaries should rely on human-centered design to design standardized structures and templates for decisions, and it provides a design plan for such reforms and examines the ways judicial independence may impact such reforms. ii Acknowledgments To my advisor—Professor Andrew Green—I would have been rudderless without your direction. Thank you for motivating me to continually think about why judges do what they do and to persistently explore my intuitions about the law and what data can reveal.

One or both of the parties force judges to decide procedural questions about which the parties cannot agree. For example, a court may need to decide, inter alia, whether a witness can testify as an expert, or whether any documents not previously disclosed through the discovery process can be admitted as evidence. These issues were recently discussed in Kaul v The Queen [Kaul].1 In Kaul v The Queen (the "Motion"),2 the Tax Court of Canada (the "Tax Court") commented on proposed expert opinion evidence with regard to the rules that apply under section 145 of the Tax Court of Canada Rules3 (the "Rules") and its accompanying Code of Conduct under Schedule III. The Tax Court had to reconcile common law with regard to independent expert evidence, participant expert evidence, and section 145 of the Rules to determine if the appellants' (Messrs.

  • I Am Pleased to Have Been Invited to Speak Today to Give a Perspective from the Bench on the Topic of the Day: Appellate Advocac
    APPELLATE ADVOCACY IN THE FEDERAL COURTS IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS THE HONOURABLE JOHN D. RICHARD CHIEF JUSTICE FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL CANADIAN BAR ASSOCIATION – NATIONAL IP SECTION (COURT PRACTICE COMMITTEE) GATINEAU, QUEBEC – APRIL 30, 2009 I am pleased to have the opportunity to give a perspective from the bench on the topic of the day: appellate advocacy in the Federal Courts in IP matters. Your program deals with writing persuasive factums and delivering effective oral submissions, as well as applying for leave to the Supreme Court of Canada. You are fortunate that, on these topics, you will hear from leading advocates at the Bar: John Laskin, David Scott, Eugene Meehan, and Ronald Slaght. This offers you a tremendous opportunity to hone your advocacy skills and to benefit from the experience of proven advocates. Based on my experiences both as counsel and as a judge of the Federal trial and appeal courts, I propose to address the importance of younger members of the Bar developing advocacy skills early in their career. Following this, I will share with you some of my thoughts about improving both oral and written appellate advocacy before the Federal Court of Appeal. Advocacy is not only an art, but a science. As a science, it requires a thorough knowledge of the rules of practice, of the facts and, of the applicable law. As an art, it requires the development of a winning strategy and the ability to transpose that strategy into written words and spoken form. It requires discipline, concentration, and effort. In 2005, the Advocates’ Society published Learned Friends, authored by Jack Batten, which profiles eminent Ontario advocates from 1950 to 2000.

  • The Supreme Court of Canada and the Judicial Role: an Historical Institutionalist Account
    THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA AND THE JUDICIAL ROLE: AN HISTORICAL INSTITUTIONALIST ACCOUNT by EMMETT MACFARLANE A thesis submitted to the Department of Political Studies in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada November, 2009 Copyright © Emmett Macfarlane, 2009 i Abstract This dissertation describes and analyzes the work of the Supreme Court of Canada, emphasizing its internal environment and processes, while situating the institution in its broader governmental and societal context. In addition, it offers an assessment of the behavioural and rational choice models of judicial decision making, which tend to portray judges as primarily motivated by their ideologically-based policy preferences. The dissertation adopts a historical institutionalist approach to demonstrate that judicial decision making is far more complex than is depicted by the dominant approaches within the political science literature. Drawing extensively on 28 research interviews with current and former justices, former law clerks and other staff members, the analysis traces the development of the Court into a full-fledged policy-making institution, particularly under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This analysis presents new empirical evidence regarding not only the various stages of the Court’s decision-making process but the justices’ views on a host of considerations ranging from questions of collegiality (how the justices should work together) to their involvement in controversial and complex social policy matters and their relationship with the other branches of government. These insights are important because they increase our understanding of how the Court operates as one of the country’s more important policy-making institutions.
