See this Washington Post article about the Saudi Blogger who was in jail for four month without charge.
The ATA dictates procedure and standards of review for many BC tribunals.
Interesting question is how the Dunsmuir case affects statutorily prescribed standards of review.
Now you have your answer in, Howe v. 3770010 Canada Inc., 2008 BCSC 330.

See R. v. A.M., 2008 SCC 19 and R. v. Kang‑Brown for searches involving sniffer dogs in a school and a bus depot.
