Administrative law 2026 FCA 94

Musani v. Canada (Attorney General)

The Appeal Division's decision was reasonable: the Court refused to consider Charter arguments raised for the first time on judicial review; the applicant failed to prove good cause under s.10(4) EI Act for the entire period of delay such that antedating to May 22, 2022 was warranted, and even allowing a limited antedate to August 2023 would not produce sufficient insurable hours to qualify; therefore the application is dismissed.

  • Antedating of ei claims
  • Good cause
  • Standard of review
  • Procedural fairness
  • Charter issues raised late

Civil procedure 2026 NSSC 158

Linders v. Ordinelli

Because the parties had agreed the quantum of damages was $125,000, the court treated that as the 'amount involved' under Tariff A, applied Scale 2 ($12,250) plus $2,000 per trial day ($4,000) for a pre-multiplier total of $16,250, and increased the tariff by 50% under Rule 10.09 because the defendants' formal offer dated July 15, 2024 was made after setting down but before the Finish Date, yielding an award of $23,125; $750 in reasonable disbursements were also awarded; the plaintiff's hardship claim was rejected for lack of evidence and the defendants' formal offers qualified under Rule 10.…

  • Party and party costs
  • Formal offer to settle (rule 10)

Criminal law 2026 BCCA 210

R. v. Ali

The application to vary the prior leave order is dismissed because the original decision appropriately accounted for the record's size and complexity, nothing material has changed, the revised factum remains unfocussed and inefficient, and permitting its length would frustrate the purposes of a factum and hamper the court and the respondent.

  • Factum length and page limits
  • Leave to file extended factum
  • Reconsideration of court order
  • Use of chronology in factum
  • Fairness versus efficiency in appellate briefing
