Motion alleging breach of class action settlement agreement for providing inadequate reasons dismissed.
The applicant moved for an order declaring the respondents in breach of a settlement agreement concerning the Canadian Thalidomide Survivors Support Program.
The applicant argued that the decision letters rejecting claims under the program provided inadequate reasons, as they relied on an opaque diagnostic algorithm.
The Federal Court dismissed the motion, holding that the settlement agreement required reasons but did not establish a standard for the quality or adequacy of those reasons.
The Court noted that the applicant's complaints should be addressed through judicial review of individual decisions rather than as a breach of the settlement agreement.
