PUBLIC AUTHORITIES PROTECTION ACT (PAPA)

PAPA sets out liability immunities for judges, court staff and proceedings. While technically not the 'Crown', these liability topics are sufficiently 'governmental' in nature to fit here best. Most related (but non-liability) PAPA issues are located in the 'Courts' topic.

REGULATIONS

A 'regulation' is the primary form of delegated legislation - a sort of a 'sub-statute'. Most statutes (including the CLPA) have regulations, and - when they do - the statute itself has a 'regulation-making powers' section which sets-out what issues the regulation can legally address. In most cases (as here) regulation authority is given to the 'cabinet' (aka the 'Lieutenant-Governor in Council').

CLPA, 2019 (Ont) - s.1(1) Definitions ["regulations"]
CLPA, 2019 (Ont) - s.1(1) Definitions ["prescribed"]

Crown Liability and Proceedings Act (fed)

This sub-topic is regarding the federal crown liability legislation which has a similar name to Ontario's [which is 'Crown Liability and Proceedings Act, 2019' (CLPA)] and thus can be confusing. Practically though, which 'CLPA' you are concerned with should be simple: ie. which Crown are you suing - Ontario or Canada?

Given the low number of federal cases I have not yet integrated this legislation fully, perhaps later.
