The applicant sought judicial review of a decision of the Appeal Division of the Social Security Tribunal, which refused leave to appeal the General Division's decision.
The General Division had refused to rescind or amend its earlier decision denying the applicant a full old age security pension.
The applicant had accumulated only 25 of the 40 years of residence in Canada required for a full pension.
The applicant argued that the residency requirement violated s. 15 of the Charter, but failed to file a Notice of Constitutional Question.
The Court found that the Appeal Division reasonably concluded the appeal had no reasonable chance of success, as the applicant presented no new material facts to the General Division and did not meet the cumulative requirements for a full pension.
