The Tribunal dismissed a CHRA complaint against the RCMP, finding the officers who reported the matter were municipal police seconded to CFSEU-BC, not RCMP members or agents.
The Federal Court dismissed Hamza Nasir’s judicial review of a CRA staffing screen-out, finding the agency reasonably accommodated his parental leave and the decision was reasonable.
The General Division applied the correct legal test, considered and weighed the evidence, and reasonably found the Applicant knew of the employer's return-to-work policy and the risk of dismissal and therefore willfully failed to return; there is no arguable important error of fact or other reviewable error and no reasonable chance of success on appeal, so leave to appeal is refused.
The Appeal Division reasonably concluded that Mr. Arnold's deliberate failure to comply with his employer's mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy constituted misconduct within the meaning of subsection 30(1) of the Employment Insurance Act; the Tribunal correctly confined itself to EI entitlement issues and not to adjudicating the lawfulness of employer policies or employment disputes; the use of template language did not, on the record, render the proceeding procedurally unfair.
Although the employer’s changes created a health risk and the General Division erred in treating on‑call placement or waiting for a transfer as reasonable, the appellant failed to demonstrate he attempted to find alternative employment before resigning; jurisprudence requires such efforts in most health‑related quits, therefore the resignation was not a justified leave under s.29(c) and entitlement to EI is denied.
Although the tribunal accepted that the appellant experienced a trauma response and made an in-the-moment decision to resign, she gave notice and retained the choice to stay until June 27, 2025; she failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that no reasonable alternative (such as extended remote work or a leave of absence to secure safe housing or alternate employment) existed, and therefore she was disqualified from EI benefits.
The Tribunal admitted most of a proposed expert report on domestic and intimate partner violence, but redacted the section on K.L.’s circumstances as improper fact-finding.
The court quashed approval of a forest licence transfer after finding the Province failed to conduct meaningful deep consultation with Gitanyow or seriously consider accommodation.
The Commission lawfully re‑examined the claim within statutory limits; the appellant voluntarily quit her employment and failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that she had no reasonable alternative to quitting (she could have requested time off for counselling, extended leave, or sought other work); therefore she did not have just cause and is disqualified from receiving EI benefits.
