Motion to strike judicial review application granted in part; damages claims struck but independence claims permitted.
The defendants brought a motion to strike the plaintiffs' application for judicial review concerning decisions about their employment insurance eligibility as mortgage representatives for Desjardins.
The motion was granted in part.
The Court struck the claims for damages and costs incurred in other proceedings, as the Federal Court cannot award damages on judicial review.
However, the Court refused to strike the remainder of the application, finding it was not completely bereft of any chance of success, particularly regarding allegations of interference with the independence of decision-makers.
