Iron v. Canoe Lake Cree First Nation

Complaint dismissed: Complainant failed to prove prima facie discrimination or retaliation on balance of probabilities.

Musqua v. Bellegarde

The motion for a stay was dismissed because, although the appellant satisfied the low threshold of raising a serious issue on appeal, she failed to demonstrate irreparable harm from proceeding to a sentencing hearing; the alleged harms were speculative or avoidable and the motion was therefore premature prior to determination of the specific sanction.

Contempt of court 2022 FCA 168

Simon v. Bacon St-Onge

The appeal is dismissed because the Federal Court did not commit a palpable and overriding error: the December 21, 2017 order was clear, appellants intentionally failed to comply, filing an appeal or motion to stay did not excuse non-compliance, and the due diligence defence was inapplicable where the actions sought aimed to avoid compliance rather than to effectuate it.

  • Stay of order
  • Due diligence defence
  • Standard of review
