The authors would like to acknowledge the following for their contribu-

It goes without saying that a project of this magnitude involves the

eort, assistance, and gratitude of numerous individuals. I wrote the

f‌irst edition of this book between 2002 and 2005, when I was a young

lawyer. I am grateful to Koskie Minsky LLP, which supported me dur-

Zigler, who was my mentor at the f‌irm and read an early draft of that

manuscript.

The impulse to write this book crystallized during 2001 while I

was completing my LLM in administrative law at Osgoode Hall Law

School. I would like to acknowledge Justice Lorne Sossin of the Onta rio

Court of Appeal, who coordinated that program and encouraged me to

expand the scope of my thesis paper into a book manuscript, and Jus-

tice Eileen Gillese of the Onta rio Court of Appeal, who gave me similar

words of encouragement and put me in touch with Je Miller and the

f‌irst-rate publishing team at Irwin Law. A special thank you to Lesley

Steeve of Irwin Law who helped us through this new edition.
