Motions for reconsideration dismissed; Rule 397 prohibits reopening judgment to certify questions.
The applicants sought reconsideration of a judgment that dismissed their applications for judicial review of a decision denying their Canadian citizenship applications.
They claimed the court overlooked the legal doctrine of a 'lock-in date' and requested the certification of serious questions of general importance.
The Federal Court dismissed the motions for reconsideration, finding that an argument raised does not constitute a matter overlooked under Rule 397(1)(b), and that Rule 397 prohibits reopening a judgment to certify questions.
