The applicant sought an order extending the time to file her general election return under the Canada Elections Act.
The initial delay was caused by a family illness and the pandemic, and a subsequent attempt to file within an extended deadline failed due to a technical error on the website, resulting in the return being one day late.
The respondent did not oppose the application.
The court found the failure to file was due to inadvertence and not a lack of due diligence, and granted the extension.
