Read full decision. Automatically generated summary:

SOCAN applies for judicial review of the Copyright Board’s rates-setting decision on October 27, 2023. The focus of SOCAN’s application is the thinness and inadequacy of the evidentiary record before the Copyright Board. SOCAN says that the Board’s decision, based on this thin record, was unreasonable. SOCAN also raises procedural unfairness issues. We are all of the view that the application must be dismissed with costs.
