so, to summarize.

1) the federal court has given itself jurisdiction to hear reviews of cjc rulings.
2) this has been upheld by the federal court of appeal.
3) the supreme court has refused to interfere.

there has since been a supreme court ruling that i think has been widely misunderstood, in the sense that it doesn't give councils greater deference but rather subsumes the concept of correctness into the concept of reasonableness - a step backwards in my view, to be sure, but not one that is likely to make a substantive difference, in context.
