[...] Procedural fairness and the appearance of bias. [38] The applicants in this proceeding allege bias and a lack of procedural fairness on the part of the Tribunal majority in conducting the hearing.

Pfizer Canada Inc. v. Teva Canada Limited - 2016 FCA 161 - 2016-05-31
Federal Court of Appeal Decisions[70] It is true that the Federal Court did not offer a great deal on the proper principles to be applied concerning the availability of s. 8 damages. [...] If the evidence is not admissible, it is not before the court in any way and, thus, the court cannot deal with it in any way. [...] In a high-stakes case such as this, that was hardly any sort of meaningful or fair test.

Ouellet v. Canada (Attorney General) - 2006 FC 1541 - 2006-12-21
Federal Court Decisions[29] It is also settled law that the Commission must act fairly in handling the complaints it receives. [...] The failure to question one or several key witnesses who would have had a fundamental impact on the resolution of the initial complaint and the failure to deal with an important aspect of that complaint were considered by this Court and by the Federal Court of Appeal as being breaches of the duty of procedural fairness: [...] Accordingly, the Commission had all the information it needed to make a fair and enlightened decision in the circumstances.

Federal Court Decisions[31] Dealing with these issues at the outset ensures consistency in the analysis. [...] This is not fair to the inventor nor to the public: Consolboard, at 520. [...] As I agree with CCM’s interpretation, it is not strictly necessary to deal with this issue.

Calandrini v. Canada (Attorney General) - 2018 FC 52 - 2018-01-19
Federal Court DecisionsBoth parties had been given a fair chance to be heard, to receive full disclosure of materials, and sufficient time to respond. [...] Thus Justice Mactavish did not consider it necessary to deal with it.

Irving Shipbuilding Inc. v. Canada (Attorney General) - 2009 FCA 116 - 2009-04-16
Federal Court of Appeal Decisions[6] In my view, the appellants have failed to establish that PWGSC owed them a duty of fairness. [...] When Weir was awarded the contract to manage NETE in 1999, it undertook to take steps to ensure that it would not gain any real or perceived unfair competitive advantage in its other dealings with DND as a result of its management of NETE. [...] If they do not have a right to procedural fairness, that should normally conclude the matter.

P & S Holdings Ltd. v. Canada - 2015 FC 1331 - 2015-12-01
Federal Court DecisionsOn the other hand, if the applicants do not have a right to procedural fairness, that would be the end of the matter: Irving Shipbuilding, above at para. 28. [...] Citing the Supreme Court’s decision in Kane v. University of British Columbia, [1980] 1 S.C.R. 1105, 110 D.L.R. (3d) 311, the applicants argue that either express statutory language is required to abrogate the common‑law rules of procedural fairness, or that an entitlement to procedural fairness has been ousted by necessary [...] In the absence of any such ouster, the applicants say that the common‑law rules of procedural fairness apply by default.

Allard c. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) - 2012 FC 1268 - 2012-10-30

[...] [50] This approach was recently applied by this Court in a decision dealing with similar country conditions evidence (see Millette v Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2012 FC 542 at paragraph 39, [2012] FCJ No 564): [...] As they have not, I do not find the officer violated procedural fairness.

Xwave Solutions Inc. v. Public Works & Government Services Canada - 2003 FCA 301 - 2003-07-09
Federal Court of Appeal Decisions[12] This provision reflects the common law in that the duty of fairness does not always require an administrative decision-maker to hold an oral hearing in order to be procedurally fair: Nicholson v. Haldimand-Norfolk Regional Board of Police Commissioners, [1979] 1 S.C.R. 311 at 328. [...] Similarly, since Parliament is presumed not to authorize agencies to breach the duty of fairness, a refusal by the Tribunal to hold an oral hearing when fairness so requires would be an abuse of its discretion under subsection 30.13(1). [...] After all, as I indicated when dealing with the oral hearing issue, xwave had access to information that was relevant to DND’s knowledge.

Strickland v. Canada (Attorney General) - 2013 FC 475 - 2013-05-06
Federal Court Decisions[12] Dealing, first, with the Federal Court’s jurisdiction, sections 18 and 18.1 of the Federal Courts Act, RSC 1985, c F-7 [FCA] have been interpreted broadly to include jurisdiction over the review of subordinate legislation in cases such as the present. [...] The Federal Courts Act does not, by clear and direct statutory language, oust the jurisdiction of the provincial superior courts to deal with these common law and equitable claims, including the potential “unlawfulness” of government orders. [...] Where “the interests underlying the rule are not served by adherence to it” (R v Domm (1996), 31 OR (3d) 540 (CA)) or whether the fair administration of justice will not be harmed by the arguably duplicative proceeding, an exception to the doctrines may be appropriate (Shams v MacDonald (2008), 174 ACWS (3d) 1026, [2009] OJ
