Cuddy Chicks Ltd. v. Ontario (Labour Relations Board)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cuddy Chicks Ltd. v. Ontario (Labour Relations Board), [1991] 2 S.C.R. 5, is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the jurisdiction of courts and tribunals to hear constitutional issues. The Court found that for a tribunal to hear a constitutional issue, it "must already have jurisdiction over the whole of the matter before it, namely, the parties, subject matter and remedy sought." [1] This test has the same three criteria as the test for a "court of competent jurisdiction" under section 24(1) of the Charter, except here it does not matter if the tribunal is a "court" or not.
