Is the Attorney General a party to a judicial review?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from 992704 Ontario Limited v. British Columbia (Attorney General), 2021 BCCA 469 (CanLII):
The applicant also refers to some comments in the case law that suggest that the Attorney General is not a party to judicial review proceedings. First, it cites Wight v. Patry, 2007 BCSC 1432, particularly referring to para. 12, where the judge commented that s. 16 of the Judicial Review Procedure Act “entitles the Attorney General to be heard at the application for judicial review without requiring the holder of that office to become a party”.
