The judicial reviews are in

Kelen J. of the Federal Court on Jason Kenney:
(I)n his 13-page ruling yesterday, Justice Michael Kelen said the minister "may have breached the duty of fairness" for not giving the group notice that an annual $1 million funding contract would be cancelled and for not providing the group with reasons for the cut.

"The court finds that the evidence to date demonstrates that the respondent minister did probably breach his legal duty to act fairly to the applicant," Kelen wrote.

"This is a serious issue, an elementary principle of administrative law, and the minister and his officials must act according to the law."
