Riverlake Residents Association, Nova Scotia Municipal Board, 1985, H. Archibald Kaiser

Dalhousie Law Journal

Administrative tribunals seem to go about their business in a manner which does not command much attention outside the coterie of specialists who work in the area. This seems a great pity, as the matters with which such forums deal are often of significance to the public at large. Occasionally a decision will command a broader audience and the public may then see the implications of what goes on behind doors which are only nominally open to all. Riverlake Residents Association' is one decision which has, in its short life, enjoyed intense public scrutiny. 2 The results of this attention …

Administrative Agencies And The Court, Frank E. Cooper

Michigan Legal Studies Series

The limits which courts place on the powers of administrative tribunals have particular significance to practicing attorneys and law students. It is largely to the extent that such limits are imposed, that our government remains a government of laws and not a government of men.

The following pages have been written to describe the standards which the courts impose upon administrative agencies, thereby controlling and limiting their powers. More particularly, the writer has sought: (1) to bring together the leading cases in which the courts have laid down the principles that govern frequently litigated questions in contests between the agencies …

Administrative Law-Prior Resort Doctrine-Resort To The Railroad Adjustment Board Before Court Action, William H. Buchanan

Michigan Law Review

The decision in a recent case to the effect that a dispute concerning the construction of a contract of employment between a labor union and a railroad may be adjusted by carrying it before the Railroad Adjustment Board, or by carrying it directly to the courts makes this an apt time to examine the applicability of the doctrine of prior resort to disputes. covered by the Railway Labor Act. Such an examination seems especially necessary in view of the fact that in such cases the courts have not even mentioned the doctrine.

When the telegraph companies expressed reluctance to comply with the subpoenas, the Senate Committee sought aid from the Federal Communications Commission. The commission by formal resolution detailed a member of its staff to work with an examiner of the Senate Committee in the examination and copying of the telegrams. Among the messages …

The purpose of this article is two-fold. In the first place it is intended to set forth certain determining factors (a) as to whether or not administrative decisions are subject to review in cases where their finality is challenged before the courts and (b) if subject to review, to what extent. The second purpose is to call attention to the need for improvement in this country along the lines of executive or administrative justice from the standpoint of better agencies and better- facilities for disposing of litigated questions within the administrative tribunals.
