Sivekumar v. The King

The transfers (totaling $10,650) were transfers of property to a non-arm’s length person (spouse) made for no consideration; the transferor owed the Minister at least $10,650 at the time; therefore s.160 applied and the reassessment is to be referred back for reconsideration to reflect a shortfall of $10,650; costs of $625 awarded to the Respondent.

AJ v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

The Claimant failed to demonstrate an arguable case that the General Division made a jurisdictional, legal, or significant factual error; the General Division identified and applied the correct law, considered the evidence, and reasonably concluded the Commission's determination that the $2,000 advance payment was an overpayment was legally correct; financial hardship or changed circumstances are not legal bases to overturn a correctly decided overpayment, therefore leave to appeal is refused.

SR v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

The application for leave to appeal is refused because it was filed within time but the claimant failed to raise any arguable ground that the General Division committed a reviewable error; the General Division correctly applied the law on misconduct, its key factual and credibility findings are supported by the evidence, and there is no basis for the Appeal Division to intervene.

MB6-02909

The RAD confirmed the RPD decision because the appellants' core allegations lacked corroboration and were undermined by inconsistencies (notably regarding tender documentation, the conduct of the Mexican lawyer, omissions in the Basis of Claim form and contradictory testimony); the psychological report did not establish causation for alleged events; and the new evidence (Exhibit A-1) was not central or sufficiently connected to justify a hearing under s.110(6) IRPA.
