Davis v. Canada (Royal Canadian Mounted Police)

Subsection 236(1) of the FPSLRA unequivocally bars civil actions in respect of disputes relating to terms and conditions of employment; the appellant failed to establish any exception (such as complete corruption or incapacity of the grievance process), failed to show inadequate accommodation or reasonable apprehension of bias, and therefore it was plain and obvious to strike the statement of claim without leave to amend; the appeal is dismissed.

Public Service Alliance of Canada v. Canada (House of Commons)

The Federal Court of Appeal upheld the Board's award as reasonable because the Board, applying the factors in the Act and exercising its broad arbitration discretion, rationally concluded there was insufficient evidence of widespread Phoenix-related stress or harms at the House of Commons to justify matching the Treasury Board $2,500 lump sum; the Board permissibly considered total compensation and the comparability argument and the applicant failed to establish a serious flaw in the decision.

  • Phoenix pay system
  • General damages
  • Comparability in collective bargaining
  • Interest arbitration
  • Standard of review (reasonableness)

  • Motions to strike

Administrative law 2022 FCA 140

Agnaou v. Canada (Public Prosecution Service)

The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the application for judicial review because the Tribunal’s conclusion was reasonable: the April 1 and 2, 2009 emails did not, on a balance of probabilities, constitute protected internal disclosures and the applicant failed to establish the requisite causal link between any protected disclosure and the alleged reprisal; the Tribunal did not err in limiting disclosure or witnesses and complied with procedural fairness.

  • Protected disclosure
  • Reprisal
  • Procedural fairness
  • Standard of review
  • Disclosure obligations

  • Procedural fairness
  • Fraud under public service employment act
  • Standard of review
  • Charter rights

Administrative law 2019 FCA 177

Popov v. Canada (Attorney General)

The Board reasonably applied the established Schenkman criteria, concluded the applicant failed to provide clear, cogent, compelling reasons for a 13-month delay, showed no diligence in pursuing the formal referral, and that granting an extension would unfairly prejudice the employer; rescinding irrelevant witness summonses did not breach procedural fairness, therefore denial of the extension was reasonable.

  • Extension of time
  • Grievance adjudication
  • Procedural fairness
  • Standard of review
  • Termination/dismissal
