Dunsmuir v. New Brunswick, 2008 SCC 9

 

Two of the most complete appellate court analyses of Dunsmuir (as of November, 2008):

 

Mills v. Ontario (Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal), 2008 ONCA 436

 

Rodrigues v. Ontario (Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal), 2008 ONCA 719

 

Mills was argued before Dunsmuir was released.  When Dunsmuir was released, the Court of Appeal for Ontario asked for submissions on the effect of Dunsmuir.  The submissions, which canvass many issues on Dunsmuir on both sides, are below.  They are a useful starting point for anyone trying to make sense of Dunsmuir:
