Procedural Fairness in Public Procurement

Public procurement is governed by a plurality of legal regimes. Statutes, regulations, international law and common law all have a say. Norms are enforceable by judicial review and (somewhat more lucratively) in private actions. Given the pluralistic nature of legal regulation of public procurement, it is unsurprising that norms associated more with public law have seeped into the private law framework. A recent Canadian example is Entreprise P.S. Roy inc. c. Magog (Ville de), 2013 QCCA 617.
