Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The challenge would be brought as a proceeding in a court of original jurisdiction as the issue involves a publication ban during court proceedings, which falls under the jurisdiction of the courts.

Answer: B
 If not successful in the original court proceeding, an appeal can be granted to the Supreme Court of Canada, as it is the highest court of appeal in the country.

Answer: C
 The Canadian Judicial Council is responsible for investigating and addressing complaints about the conduct of judges. However, in this case, the issue is not about a specific judge's conduct but rather a broader issue of publication bans during court proceedings.

Answer: D
 An administrative tribunal deals with specific areas of law and regulation, such as employment, human rights, or immigration. The issue of publication bans during court proceedings is not within the jurisdiction of an administrative tribunal.

Answer: E
 The Court of Appeal is a higher court where appeals are heard, but it would not be the proper forum to bring this challenge initially. The challenge should be brought as a proceeding in a court of original jurisdiction first.
