The area of law that deals with decisions made by the different tribunals and agencies established by the federal, provincial, or local levels of government is known as regulatory laws, often known as administrative law. These regulatory laws are typically established by statute in order to safeguard the public.
These bodies are governed by highly specific laws that differ greatly from those that apply in civil and criminal courts. Essential legal representation is vital in complex administrative proceedings, requiring attorneys proficient in administrative law for effective navigation.
At Kisel Law, we advocate on behalf of clients in cases involving securities, health safety, and environmental problems before tribunals and commissions, in court, and on appeal. Our regulatory law Canada attorneys have testified on several regulatory motions before the Ontario Court of Appeal and have tried numerous cases in this area of the law.
What are the Security Regulations in Ontario?
Canadian provinces are each in charge of their own securities laws. Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) administers the Commodities Futures Act, Securities Act, and related regulations in Ontario. Together, these elements offer a legal framework to prevent corruption, control market participants, and protect investors.
Kisel Law defends against OSC’s actions and files judicial reviews to challenge and contest their decisions.
What are the Occupational Health and Security Regulations in Ontario?
Employers and company owners in Ontario are extremely concerned about occupational health and safety. Both, the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIA) lay the groundwork for occupational health and safety for all provincially regulated workplaces in the province.
The Ministry of Labor is in charge of upholding the obligations and rights of parties involved in the workplace. The Ministry has extensive authority and may visit a workplace to conduct an investigation, confiscate pertinent documents and data, speak with employees and others, compel cooperation from businesses, and impose harsh fines and other punishments. In some circumstances, OHSA civil claims may also have criminal repercussions, including jail time.
In a variety of cases concerning occupational health and safety, Milosevic & Associates frequently represents employers, companies, directors and officers in court and before the Ontario Labour Relations Board. We also file judicial review petitions to appeal and contest these organizations’ rulings.
What is the Environmental Law Regulation in Ontario?
Municipal, provincial, and federal governments all have a role in environmental regulation in Canada, with each level of government having unique control over a certain area of the environment.
Ministries, regulators, and officials possess significant discretionary powers, considering environmental concerns within the broader context of public interest.
Environmental laws encompass offenses like obstructing officers, releasing toxins, ignoring orders, and neglecting mandatory reports, carrying significant penalties.
Corporate directors must ensure compliance with environmental laws in all company operations, as mandated by legal requirements. The directors and officials risk being personally liable for any violations or offences if they fail to do so. In rare circumstances, workers who violate environmental rules may also be held accountable for their actions.
