The applicant sought judicial review of a CRA officer's decision denying his eligibility for the Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) on the basis that he did not earn at least $5,000 in net self-employment income during the qualifying period.
The applicant argued that his prior receipt of the CERB should entitle him to the CRB as his financial circumstances remained unchanged.
The Federal Court dismissed the application, holding that the statutory criteria for the CRB require the calculation of net, rather than gross, self-employment income.
The Court found the officer's decision reasonable and procedurally fair.
