“As Mr Marven pointed out, there is nothing currently to transfer to the Chancery Division other than an order for detailed assessment of the profit costs and success fees. Such a transfer would be rather puzzling, I imagine. Mr Mallalieu’s seventh reason elegantly describes the artificiality of delineating the issues between the commission and assessment issues and suggests that the Chancery Division should send back any elements that should be addressed here. This is a stark description of the complete lack of any particularisation of any of the issues as things stand. The seventh reason suggests that the pleading out of the commission issue will tease out the delineation so that assessment issues will become plain. But why they would be raised in the commission issue is not apparent if they can clearly be identified as assessment issues. The issues that might be identified, in my view, are more likely to be those which may bear on both the commission and assessment strands.

It looks like Dore is alive and well in the SCC. Charter values are here to stay.
[64] "Doré framework applies not only where an admin decision directly infringes Charter rights but also in cases where it simply engages a value underlying one or more Charter rights..."
[66] "An administrative decision maker must consider the relevant values embodied in the Charter, which act as constraints on the exercise of the powers delegated to the decision maker."
This was a case where the Charter rights expressly did not apply, because of internal limitations in section 23 of the Charter.
