Scope Administrative law in Canada is a well-defined area of law due to the proliferation of government regulatory bodies in the past half-decade. Most administrative law arises through decisions of both provincial and federal courts and administrative tribunals, although many regulatory bodies, and the procedures they must follow, are governed by legislation.

In addition, most jurisdictions have legislation, such as the Judicial Review Procedure Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 241, specifically governing procedure to appear before or appeal from regulatory bodies.
