Permission to Appeal – Jurisdiction
Application
Ranchland (Municipal District No. 66) applied for permission to appeal a decision made by the AER. The application for permission to appeal raised the question of whether the Alberta Court of Appeal (“ABCA”) has jurisdiction to decide an appeal. Due to the implications of the jurisdictional question, the Court directed that the matter ought to be considered by a panel of the ABCA under s 14.37(2)(f) of the Alberta Rules of Court.
Decision
The parties were directed to schedule the application for permission to appeal before a panel of the ABCA.
Applicable Legislation
Alberta Rules of Court, AR 124/2010.
