Appeals from orders striking applications for judicial review as premature dismissed.
The Sahtu Divisional Education Council appealed orders striking eight applications for judicial review concerning denials of Jordan's Principle funding.
The Associate Judge struck the applications as premature because an internal appeal mechanism had not been exhausted.
The Federal Court upheld this finding and dismissed the appeals.
The Court also dismissed the applicant's motion for leave to amend the Notice of Application to seek an order of mandamus, finding the proposed amendment fundamentally changed the nature of the application and lacked the necessary factual foundation.
