The Court of Appeal of Yukon denied special and increased costs, awarding the successful appellant costs at Scale 2 because the appeal was of more than ordinary difficulty or importance.
Because the Appellant applied for regular EI and his benefit period began within the period governed by the EI ERB deeming provisions, he was deemed to have received EI ERB under Part VIII.4 of the EI Act; EI ERB is subject to garnishment under the Family Orders and Agreements Enforcement Assistance Act and therefore the Commission correctly garnished $7,288 and is not required to repay it.
The court granted a conditional discharge in bankruptcy, requiring the bankrupt to pay $15,000 to the trustee in monthly instalments of $300 starting July 31, 2022.
