In 2019, the Supreme Court of Canada released Canada v Vavilov. That decision reworked the legal framework governing the standard of review by courts of administrative decisions. But Vavilov has also created uncertainty about the continued applicability to domestic arbitral awards of the deferential standard of review articulated in previous (but relatively recent) Supreme Court case law. This article explores recent Canadian decisions on the standard of review in the domestic arbitral award context, and related questions about when courts will step in to review arbitral awards and the standard of review they will apply in doing so, along with other developments in Canadian arbitration law.

An employee’s gender can play a crucial role during their employment period and the entitlements arising from it. Austrian law so far has only known a binary gender (female and male) system. In 2018, the Austrian Constitutional Court ruled that a person can have different genders other than female or male. Thus, as a result of Constitutional Court case law, a third gender was introduced into the Austrian legal system. The following article discusses the effects this ruling has on current Austrian employment law related to the gender of the employee.
