Tribunal administratif du Québec (TAQ)

The Tribunal administratif du Québec was established under the Act respecting administrative justice. It has jurisdiction to make determinations in respect of proceedings brought against administrative decisions rendered by public authorities such as government departments, boards, commissions, municipalities, health care establishments, etc.

The Tribunal consists of four divisions.

The Social Affairs Division is chiefly responsible for proceedings in such matters as income security, welfare and family allowances, the protection of patients with mental illnesses, health and social services, immigration, pension plans and certain compensation plans.

The Immovable Property Division hears cases involving municipal property evaluations, rental value, and compensation following expropriation.

The Territory and Environment Division hears proceedings relating to the preservation of agricultural land and environmental protection.

Last, the Economic Affairs Division rules on proceedings relating to permits and authorizations under various economic, industrial, professional or commercial Acts.
