If anyone needs me, I'll be having nuanced, empathetic interactions with people in real life.

Doré is meant to be "robust" and to ensure that a decision "gives effect, as fully as possible, to the Charter protections at stake". But it also requires deference to the decision-maker, and does not require that they "choose the option that limits the Charter protection least".

Whatever your view of the outcome of this case, it is a reminder of the paradox inherent in the Doré framework for reviewing administrative decisions that engage Charter protections. ontariocourts.ca/scj/peterson-v…

SCC grants leave in FCA case that squarely raises the Q of what standard of review applies to regulations: the pre-Vavilov, hyper-deferential "Katz"/vires standard, or Vavilovian reasonableness: decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/news/e…. (FCA decision here: canlii.ca/t/jtcpx). #cdnlaw

@cjmandell Here's a project that produced audio versions of selected Canadian court decisions on a volunteer basis (in the form of a podcast): legallistening.com. Not sure if it's still active, but what a good idea!

I think about this all the time re judicial decisions. Anyone aware of courts that release audio versions of their reasons?

Did you know? The coronation of King Edward VII, which was postponed after he fell ill, advanced the development of the law of contract, and in particular the doctrine of frustration, which permits contracts to be set aside due to unforeseen events: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronatio…
