Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is Judicial Review?

Judicial Review is the process by which the Federal Court or the Divisional Court reviews the decision-making process of administrative bodies like the Human Rights Commission or the Human Rights Tribunal. The court doesn’t typically re-hear the facts of your case but examines whether the Commission or Tribunal made a legal error, acted unfairly, or exceeded its authority.

You have 30 days from the date of the dismissal to file an Application for Judicial Review with the Federal Court. It’s crucial to act quickly to preserve your right to challenge the decision. Contact us immediately to discuss your options.

Initially, you have 30 days to file a Request for Reconsideration with the Tribunal itself. If the Tribunal denies your request or refuses to grant reconsideration, you then have 30 days from the date of that decision to file an Application for Judicial Review with the Divisional Court. Navigating this two-step process requires careful attention to deadlines. We can guide you through each stage.

The timeline for a Judicial Review can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the court’s schedule. It can take several months. However, the initial step of filing the Application has a strict deadline that must be met.

The costs associated with Judicial Review can include court filing fees, legal fees for our services, and potential disbursements. We believe in transparent communication about fees and will discuss our fee structure with you during your initial consultation.
