Taylor Andreas

The applicant, a federal inmate with a lengthy history of fraudulent behaviour, sought judicial review of a decision by the Parole Board of Canada Appeal Division affirming the revocation of his statutory release by the Parole Board.

The applicant's release had been suspended three times for various breaches of conditions and lack of transparency with his Case Management Team.

The Federal Court found that the Board's conclusion that the applicant posed an undue risk to society was reasonable, justified, and transparent.

The Court also held that the tribunals reasonably dismissed allegations of bias against the CMT and adequately considered the applicant's vulnerability to COVID-19.

The application for judicial review was dismissed.

The applicant, a permanent resident, sought judicial review of a Canadian Human Rights Commission decision refusing to deal with his complaint that the Canada Revenue Agency's hiring policy, which prefers Canadian citizens, is discriminatory.

The Commission found the complaint frivolous because citizenship is not a prohibited ground of discrimination under the Canadian Human Rights Act.

The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding no breach of procedural fairness and holding that the Commission's decision was reasonable.

The Court also held that the evidentiary record was insufficient to determine the applicant's constitutional challenge to the Act.
