Court

Canada (Procureur général) c. Abattoir Zampini Inc.

Court
Federal Court of Appeal

The Court held the Commission’s interpretation was unreasonable because it created functionally distinct obligations for proximity abattoirs contrary to the plain wording and purpose of s.6.2; the proper interpretation requires the operator who slaughters a bovine over 30 months to ensure removal of all MRS at the slaughter stage (with limited operationally justified tolerance regarding dorsal root ganglia), and therefore the Commission’s decision was set aside and remitted for redetermination by a differently constituted Commission.

Moodie v. Canada

Court

The limitation period in s.23(4) begins when the Minister is subrogated, which occurs upon payment to the administrator under s.23(1); because the Minister's payments occurred within six years of commencement of the actions, the claims were not statute‑barred and the appeals fail.
