Judicial review of COVID-19 vaccine mandate struck; existence of SARS-CoV-2 subject to judicial notice.
The applicant sought judicial review of the federal government's policy requiring COVID-19 vaccination for public servants, alleging the SARS-CoV-2 virus does not exist.
The respondent brought a motion to strike the application.
The Court took judicial notice of the existence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, finding it to be a notorious and indisputable fact.
As the applicant's central premise contradicted a judicially noticed fact, the application was found to be bereft of any possibility of success and was struck.
Judicial review dismissed; finding of misconduct disqualifying the applicant from EI benefits was reasonable.
The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Social Security Tribunal-Appeal Division refusing leave to appeal.
The applicant had been denied Employment Insurance benefits after being dismissed from his job as a driver due to misconduct, specifically inappropriate and disrespectful behavior towards staff and clients despite multiple warnings.
The Federal Court found that the Appeal Division's decision was reasonable, noting that the objective test for misconduct was properly applied and the existence of a settlement agreement with the employer did not preclude a finding of misconduct for EI purposes.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
