In 2009, the Commission scolaire francophone du Yukon brought a court case against the territorial government asking for full school management. The case lasted some time, then the territorial government appealed to the Court of Appeal for the Yukon, which declared a mistrial on the grounds that the judge was biased. Because of the apprehension of bias on the part of the judge, a new trial was ordered, to which the Commission scolaire francophone du Yukon reacted by going to the Supreme Court of Canada.
