In its April 11, 2022 stated case opinion, the Supreme Court of Yukon found that the Yukon Human Rights Commission came within section 2(b) of the Ombudsman Act because its statutory work serves the public interest. It didn't come within section 2(a), which concerns different appointment mechanisms. The court gave its opinion rather than a declaration because the parties hadn't sought one. This decision is a historical authority added to Binder's case archive in 2026.
