Administrative law 2025 FCA 227

ADGA Group Consultants Inc. v. Canada (Attorney General)

The Court held the Tribunal erred by failing to address ADGA's specific allegation that substituted personnel lacked RFP mandatory qualifications; the application is allowed in part and remitted to the Tribunal to determine whether substitutions lacking mandatory requirements changed the procurement into something not contemplated by the RFP. The Tribunal's conclusion that PSPC's evaluation of ADGA's reference contract was reasonable is upheld under a deferential reasonableness standard.

Procurement law 2024 ONCA 677

Canada Forgings Inc. v. Atomic Energy of Canada Limited

The appeal is dismissed because the procurement claim was statute-barred under s.5 of the Limitations Act, 2002 (the appellant discovered or ought to have discovered the claim by March 2006); no Contract A existed between AECL and the appellant so AECL owed no duty of fairness; the Deloitte Report was privileged and inadmissible and could not be admitted through calling its author; the trial judge's reasons permitted meaningful appellate review; costs awards were within discretion.

  • Discoverability
  • Solicitor-client privilege
  • Admission of expert/consultant reports

Administrative law 2023 ONCA 866

Thales DIS Canada Inc. v. Ontario (Transportation)

The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, finding the Divisional Court misapplied the reasonableness standard by conducting a de novo review; the Director’s written decision was a reasonable exercise of administrative authority in light of the record and CETA obligations; Ontario’s internal bid dispute process complied with Article 19.17 of CETA and provided an adequate remedy, so the request for bids was not independently reviewable; therefore the application for judicial review was dismissed and costs awarded to Ontario.

  • Public safety exception
  • Non-discrimination
  • Standard of review (reasonableness)
  • Reviewability of procurement tenders
  • Dispute resolution process

Administrative law 2023 FCA 214

Terra Reproductions Inc. v. Canada (Attorney General)

The Tribunal’s literal application of s.6 to bar the late complaint was reasonable; the applicant failed to seek the statutory 30‑day extension before the Tribunal and did not meet any narrow exception permitting fresh evidence or new issues on review, so the Federal Court of Appeal will not overturn the Tribunal’s decision.

  • Timeliness and limitation periods
  • Extension of time
  • Admissibility of new evidence on review
  • Standard of review (reasonableness)

Administrative law 2023 FCA 88

Heiltsuk Horizon Maritime Services Ltd. v. Atlantic Towing Limited

The Tribunal's conclusion that the substitute masters met MR 20 and would have received full points under RR 24 was unreasonable because there was no contemporaneous comparative evaluation or corroborative documentation required by RFP Article 7.46; after-the-fact affidavits did not cure the absence of evidence, so the Tribunal's finding was set aside and the complaint declared valid.

  • Substitution of proposed personnel
  • Post-award contract compliance
  • Judicial review

Administrative law 2021 FCA 97

J.A. Larue Inc. v. Canada (Public Works and Government Services)

The Federal Court of Appeal upheld the CITT's dismissal of Larue's complaint because the CITT reasonably concluded PWGSC permissibly relied on the information provided by Fresia, the contested resistance factors were not required by the RFP and there was no procedural unfairness or other defect warranting substitution of the evaluators' judgment.

  • Bid evaluation
  • Standard of review - reasonableness
  • Procedural fairness
  • Compliance with request for proposals
  • Evidence sufficiency
