GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT COMPLAINTS
PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD AT THE CITT - BEFORE JUDICIAL REVIEW
Adjudicating government procurement complaints is one of the most important functions the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (“CITT”) plays for Canadian businesses. In these cases, the CITT serves as the referee when government contracts are handed out improperly.
As a recent decision of the Federal Court of Appeal (“FCA”) indicates, it is best to put one’s best foot forward before the CITT because the courts afford significant deference to the decisions the CITT makes, and it will be extremely difficult to have the decisions overturned on judicial review.
