Administrative law 2026 BCSC 649

Harmorg Properties Inc. v. Scott

The petition was allowed and the Tribunal's decision set aside because the Tribunal committed procedural unfairness by deciding the pivotal issue of corporate separation and standing on inferences not put to the petitioner and by making an unreasonable and legally erroneous finding that Just Flooring was a separate corporation; the Tribunal's reasons were also inadequate on credibility, warranting remittal for a rehearing.

  • Standing
  • Procedural fairness
  • Privity of contract
  • Corporate personality
  • Fresh evidence
  • Adequacy of reasons

Contract law 2026 BCSC 652

Driver v. Worth

The CRT correctly required the buyer to prove on a balance of probabilities that the implied warranty in s.18(c) of the SGA applied and was breached; the Tribunal's factual findings that the sale did not exclude the implied warranty and that the Van had a pre-existing overheating defect were supported by evidence and not patently unreasonable; the CRT's reasons were adequate; the petition is dismissed.

Criminal law 2026 NLCA 10

R. v. Clarke

The Court held the Provincial Court judge erred by including delay occasioned by the Jordan application as Crown/institutional delay and by failing to provide adequate reasons showing the calculation of delay to the anticipated end of trial; properly calculated (718 days less 172 days defence delay = 17.95 months) the delay was within the 18‑month Jordan presumptive limit, so the stay was set aside and the matter remitted for trial.

  • Section 11(b) charter unreasonable delay
  • Jordan framework
  • Stay of proceedings
  • Calculation of delay
  • Adequacy of reasons

Criminal law 2026 ONCA 94

  • Material misapprehension of evidence
  • Public confidence in administration of justice
  • Enforceability interest
  • Credibility and reliability of complainant
  • Bail-pending-appeal

  • Adequacy of reasons
  • Financial assessment
  • Travel history

Employment insurance 2025 SST 1384

DF v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

The General Division erred in law by identifying an allegedly reasonable alternative (continuing to work while looking for other employment) without explaining how that alternative addressed the claimant’s uncontested and serious workplace safety risks; on the record the claimant had no reasonable alternative to leaving, so he had just cause and is not disqualified from EI benefits — the Appeal Division substitutes that decision for the General Division’s decision.

  • Just cause for leaving employment
  • Reasonable alternatives
  • Adequacy of reasons
  • Error of law
  • Error of fact
  • Seniority and recall rights

Tax law 2025 FCA 225

Jennings-Clyde v. Canada (Attorney General)

The appeal is allowed because the CRA's reasons were inadequate: the decision letter failed to explain the basis for distinguishing Bonnybrook or for concluding s.220(3) could not be relied on to extend s.164(1), and the CRA did not record or solicit submissions on that theory; the proper remedy is to set aside the Federal Court judgment and remit the matter to the CRA to permit submissions and to redetermine with adequate reasons; the court will not itself grant the discretionary tax relief.

  • Taxpayer relief
  • Adequacy of reasons
  • Procedural fairness
  • Statutory interpretation
  • Remittal

Occupiers' liability 2025 NSSC 403

Ni v. Elderkin

The appeal is allowed because the adjudicator's Summary Report contained only conclusory findings and failed to set out the evidentiary basis for conclusions, which is an error of law preventing meaningful appellate review; the matter is remitted to Small Claims Court for a new hearing before a different adjudicator and costs are awarded to the appellant in the amount of $324.55.

  • Jurisdictional error
  • Natural justice
  • Summary report requirements
  • Adequacy of reasons
  • Remittal for new hearing
  • Costs award
