The following excerpt is from Nova Scotia (Agriculture) v Rocky Top Farm, 2017 NSCA 2 (CanLII):
At the appeal hearing in this case, as well as in Brennan v. Nova Scotia (Minister of Agriculture), supra, counsel invited us to consider these matters in light of the new legislation. I would decline to do so. They should be decided in accordance with the legislation that prevailed when these two disputes arose. I will leave the interpretation and application of the new legislation to another case, for another day. Conclusion
