The Impact of proposed Land Act Amendments, Contract Frustration and Municipal Censure Overturned
Manage episode 398751756 series 2899369
Discover the far-reaching consequences of proposed changes to the Land Act in BC. With 94% of BC's land owned by the Crown, changes that would afford First Nations groups veto power over land use decisions could have a profound impact on how the province is governed.
The provincial government's attempt to make the changes without a transparent consultation process, as well as the broader implications for democracy in the province, are discussed.
Also, on the show, the doctrine of frustration of contract is discussed in the context of a case involving a claim for severance pay by an employee from a duty-free shop that was forced to close due to COVID-19.
Finally, a Court of Appeal decision involving the censure of an elected councillor who disclosed confidential information to a lawyer in order to obtain legal advice is discussed.
