This article discusses the role of judicial review in access to information regimes in Canada. It provides a review of recent court decisions that show how the Canadian courts are actively supervising the exercise of administrative discretion over access to information. It argues that although efforts to reform Canada’s access to information legislation have so far been met with limited success, the judiciary has provided significant and important scrutiny, providing a key means of enforcing access to information rights in Canada.

<p>The article is of a scientific-research nature. The author discusses the problem of limits of judicial review of discretionary decisions made by taxation authorities, which aim at applying relief in payments of tax liabilities under Polish regulations and case-law of administrative courts. It may be noted that despite the issue of administrative discretion being discussed in the academic literature, the question of limits of judicial review in the practice of administrative courts still raises doubts. It is therefore reasonable to undertake the analysis of the main views formulated in the literature and the case-law of administrative courts addressing this problem, from the point of view of the limits of judicial review of discretionary decisions. The thesis of the article is that the nature of discretionary decisions on relief in payment of tax liabilities, determined by the function of administrative discretion, and, at the same time, the criteria set out in the law for judicial review of public administration, limit the role of the administrative court in examining the compliance with procedural law of the tax proceedings preceding the issuance of such a decision and the respecting by tax authorities of the fundamental values of the system of law expressed in the Polish Constitution. This is because they define the limits of administrative discretion, within which the choice of one of the possible solutions remains beyond the judicial review of the public administration. For the law, as it stands (<em>de lege lata</em>) there are no grounds for administrative courts, provided that the tax authorities respect the basic values of the legal system expressed in the Polish Constitution, to formulate assessments as to the circumstances and reasons justifying the granting or refusal to grant a tax relief, or its scope. The concept of internal and external limits of administrative discretion may therefore be useful for administrative court rulings.</p>

A decisão de preservar, ou não, um bem e a escolha do instrumento adequado para isso situam-se, porém, na esfera de discricionariedade do Executivo. O Judiciário, portanto, deve adotar postura deferente aos juízos de mérito da Administração, competindo-lhe zelar pela observância do devido processo legal. O Legislativo, por sua vez, tem papel restrito ao exercício da competência normativa.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chaves:</strong> Discricionariedade administrativa, patrimônio histórico, controle judicial, controle legislativo, tombamento, reserva da administração, devido processo legal, interesse público, responsabilidade.</p><p><strong>ADMINISTRATIVE DISCRETION AND JUDICIAL REVIEW REGARDING THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL HERITAGE: THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION PRIMARY ROLE TO CHOOSE AMONG SEVERAL COMPETING PUBLIC INTEREST AND THE LIMITS OF JUDICIAL AND LEGISLATIVE INTERVENTION ON THIS SUBJECT</strong></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Brazil´s 1988 Constitution qualifies national historic and artistic heritage as a diffuse interest worthy of protection of Public Administration. Since then, judicial disputes regarding this subject have significantly increased. The decisions about whether and how to protect a historical site belong to the administrative sphere of discretion. Thus, judicial review should defer to administrative decisions, unless the due process clause rests violated. Legislative role on the subject is limited on rulemaking.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Administrative discretion, national historical and artistic heritage, protection of historical and artistic sites, judicial review, legislative review, due process, public interest, public and private accountability.</p><p><strong>Data da submissão:</strong> 08/11/2016                   <strong>Data da aprovação:</strong> 08/12/2016</p>
