Judicial review of CERB ineligibility decision dismissed as reasonable.
The applicant sought judicial review of a Canada Revenue Agency decision finding her ineligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit for Periods 2 and 3.
The officer determined she earned more than the $1,000 limit in Period 2 and failed to provide proof of the source of other income in Period 3.
The Federal Court found the decision reasonable as it was justified on the facts and the law, and dismissed the application.
Judicial review granted as CRA breached procedural fairness by failing to accommodate applicant's disability.
The applicant sought judicial review of a Canada Revenue Agency decision determining he was ineligible for various COVID-19 emergency benefits (CERB, CRB, and CWLB).
The applicant, who suffers from a disability affecting his memory and concentration, had repeatedly requested written communications as an accommodation.
The CRA failed to provide this accommodation and failed to follow through on a supervisor's promise to look into his requests and reassigning his file.
The Federal Court held the decision was procedurally unfair due to the failure to accommodate the applicant's disability and the breach of his legitimate expectations.
The application for judicial review was granted.
