Vavilov

Vavilov refers to a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision from 2019, formally known as *Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Vavilov*. It focused on how administrative decisions are reviewed by courts. The ruling established that courts should show a higher level of deference to administrative bodies when interpreting their own statutes, but should also ensure there is a clear standard of reasonableness. This aimed to balance the need for judicial oversight with respect for specialized agencies, ultimately impacting how agencies make decisions and how courts assess those decisions.
