Licensing without law: legalized gambling in British Columbia

Article Abstract:

Brtiish Columbia, like the other provinces, has experienced the rapid growth of legal public gaming over the past two decades. Such gambling schemes must be licensed or conducted by a province. Thus, a new sphere of provincial public policy has been created. This article examines the emergence of this policy in British Columbia and of the regulatory structures set up to administer it. The recognized indices of adminstrative law - statutory authority, structure, function, discretion, and remedies - are applied thereto, subjecting this area of public administration to critical scrutiny. It becomes clear that the licensing of lottery schemes in British Columbia is conducted by an administrative agency which is not a statutory creation and which uses licensing tools that are devoid of statutory authority. There is, in effect, licensing without law. The argument is then made that there is a duty to make law in such a situation to minimize unfettered discretionary powers.
