The nature, scope, and use of the specific issue order [2004] CFLQ 364

Date:22 SEP 2011

A critical examination of the case-law on the specific issue order reveals some uncertainty concerning the nature and scope of the order.

What may be required, on the part of the judiciary, is a sharpening of focus on the specific wording of statutory provisions, and a greater willingness to engage with, and clarify, concepts.
