Demystifying the Court of Appeal

Municipal cases often go to the Court of Appeal, especially cases relating to subdivision and development. Have you ever wondered what happens at the Court of Appeal? Your chance is coming.

Starting on December 16, 2019, the Alberta Court of Appeal will be livestreaming its three-day haring about the constitutionality of the carbon tax. This isn’t a municipal law case (although it is interesting in its own right), but it will give you a chance to see what a Court of Appeal process looks like without actually visiting the Court.

Several news organizations are going to pick up the livestream. For example, CBC will be showing it here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/alberta-court-of-appeal-hears-carbon-tax-reference-case-live-1.5369341.
