Can a respondent interfere with the administration or direction of the approving officer's decisions?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Newcorp Properties Ltd. v. West Vancouver (District), 1989 CanLII 2908 (BC SC):
Absent statutory power the respondent cannot interfere with the administration or direction of the approving officer’s decisions: Roncarelli v. Duplessis (1959), 1959 CanLII 50 (SCC), 16 D.L.R. (2d) 689, [1959] S.C.R. 121 (S.C.C.). Any such interference would be a serious breach of authority and duty and would not be condoned. In this case, however, there is no evidence of any interference.
