The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Appeal Division of the Social Security Tribunal denying him leave to appeal and an extension of time.
He had been denied Employment Insurance benefits after it was determined he voluntarily left his employment.
The Appeal Division concluded he did not provide a reasonable explanation for his delay in appealing and that his appeal lacked a reasonable chance of success.
The Federal Court found the Appeal Division's decision was reasonable, as the applicant failed to demonstrate a continuing intention to appeal and had not exhausted reasonable alternatives before quitting his job.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
