We believe that having a tribunal in place will increase the speed and efficiency of the process. The tribunal, unlike a court, is going to be required to give deference to the commissioner's decision. I think that's the important first piece to understand. What that means is that the tribunal does not need to start all over again, or de novo, when reviewing a file. It can consider and adopt the work and the reasoning that the commissioner has already done.
That allows for a more streamlined and efficient process to move forward and, most importantly, the tribunal's decision itself will be considered final. That means it's not something that can be appealed to a higher-level court. Somebody could seek a judicial review of the decision, but a judicial review of a decision is far narrower. It does not reopen the findings of the case. It's about determining whether the decision of the administrative body was fair, reasonable and lawful. Generally speaking, what that means is that the court is being asked to review whether the tribunal acted within its authority or mandate.
That is an entirely different scenario from going through an appeals process to various courts, relitigating and reopening the case at each stage and having new facts brought to bear. In that way, it would be expected to be resolved far more efficiently and sooner than if you're going through an appeals process.
