JL v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

Leave to appeal refused because the Applicant has not shown an arguable error: the General Division correctly applied the law by limiting its extension analysis to whether the claimant had a reasonable explanation for delay, it did not ignore material evidence, and the Appeal Division cannot reweigh evidence or decide mixed questions of fact and law.

  • Leave to appeal
  • Extension of time
  • Reconsideration
  • Overpayment

HC v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

Extension of time to file the application for leave was granted because the claimant provided a reasonable explanation for delay, but leave to appeal was refused because there is no arguable case: the General Division acted within its jurisdiction, applied correct legal tests, provided a fair process, its factual findings on allocation of earnings and receipt of overpaid benefits are supported by the record, and there is no reasonable chance of success on any ground of appeal.

  • Overpayment
  • Reconsideration
  • Penalty and serious violation

FW v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

Leave to appeal refused because the claimant failed to demonstrate any arguable reviewable error: the General Division correctly applied s.10(4) EI Act and concluded the claimant did not act as a reasonable person to discharge the duty to inquire over a nine-month delay; language and cultural background and ignorance of EI did not establish good cause.

MF v Canada Employment Insurance Commission and X

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

Leave to appeal was refused because the Applicant failed to show an arguable case of a reviewable error: the General Division provided adequate procedural fairness, correctly identified and applied the law on misconduct and burden of proof, and its factual findings on credibility and misconduct were supported by the record and not perverse or capricious.

  • Misconduct
  • Procedural fairness
  • Burden of proof
  • Benefit of the doubt

AC v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

The Appeal Division allowed the appeal because the General Division committed an error of jurisdiction by failing to decide whether the Commission acted judicially when it (a) reconsidered benefits by issuing the March 30, 2024 Notice of Debt (a section 52 discretionary reconsideration) and (b) when its October 17, 2024 response to the claimant's reconsideration exceeded scope and constituted a discretionary reconsideration that eliminated the original 10‑week benefit period extension; matter is remitted to the General Division for reconsideration on those questions.

Source excerpt

  • Reconsideration
  • Notice of debt
  • Benefit period extension
  • Procedural fairness
  • Jurisdiction (acting judicially)
  • Overpayment

TF v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

The Appeal is dismissed because the General Division acted within its procedural discretion and followed a fair process in denying a same‑day rescheduling and proceeding in the parties' absence, and because the General Division correctly followed binding CRA determinations on insurable hours which it had no jurisdiction to change; therefore the claimant lacked the statutory hours to establish a benefit period.

  • Procedural fairness
  • Jurisdiction
  • Insurable hours

JF v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

The Appeal Division denied leave because the General Division afforded a fair written process, sought clarifications and considered the Claimant's responses; it correctly identified and applied the legal test for antedating late EI claims requiring good cause throughout the delay, and its factual findings were within its fact‑finding role and supported by the record, so there is no arguable case of jurisdictional, legal or important factual error warranting permission to appeal.

  • Good cause for delay
  • Procedural fairness

SH v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

Permission to appeal was refused because the applicant failed to show any arguable reviewable error: the General Division’s findings that the claimant voluntarily left employment without just cause and that reasonable alternatives existed were supported by the evidence and correct statements of law, so the appeal has no reasonable chance of success.

Source excerpt

  • Voluntary leave
  • Just cause
  • Leave to appeal
  • Disqualification from benefits
  • Standard of review

Canada Employment Insurance Commission v GM

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

The General Division erred by failing to decide whether the appeal to the General Division was filed within the statutory time under s.52 DESD Act; evidence shows the Commission's November 7, 2023 decision was communicated on December 8, 2023 and the appellant filed an appeal by email on September 17, 2025, which is more than one year after communication, so the appeal cannot proceed under s.52(2) DESD Act; the Appeal Division substitutes its own decision dismissing the claimant's appeal as time-barred.

Source excerpt

  • Reconsideration
  • Extension of time
  • Jurisdictional error
  • Late appeal
  • Communication of decision
  • Statutory time limits

AS v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

Court
Social Security Tribunal of Canada

Leave to appeal was refused because there is no arguable case that the General Division made an important error of fact: the General Division correctly found the appeal was filed more than one year after the reconsideration decision was communicated (May 26, 2023 to December 15, 2025) and therefore had no authority to consider reasons for delay or grant additional time, meaning no reasonable chance of success on appeal.

  • Leave to appeal
  • Statute-barred limitation
  • Reconsideration
  • Overpayment
  • Jurisdiction
