Deference and Legal Frameworks Not Designed By, For or With Us

    Research output: Other contribution

    Abstract

    Owing to the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (“TRC”), as well as to some high profile cases in the media of late, there is a growing realization that legal systems not designed by, for or with Indigenous peoples can perpetuate harms against them. Here, I argue that administrative law rules that have developed around deference tend to place Indigenous peoples at a disadvantage in judicial review proceedings.
