The applicant sought judicial review and broad declaratory relief against Ontario, arguing that the province failed to ensure the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to vulnerable populations.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, finding it lacked jurisdiction under the Judicial Review Procedure Act because the requested declarations did not relate to the exercise, refusal to exercise, or proposed exercise of a specific statutory power.
The court noted that while the applicant raised important issues regarding vaccine equity, the broad, abstract relief sought was not properly before the court.
