Boulachanis v. Canada

The Federal Court correctly identified and applied the three‑prong Rule 167 test, reasonably concluded that alternatives to dismissal had been exhausted, and did not commit a palpable and overriding error in its findings of fact and mixed fact and law; the April 16, 2024 case management direction did not relieve the appellant of outstanding undertakings or preclude the respondent from bringing a Rule 167 motion, therefore the appeal is dismissed and the dismissal for undue delay is confirmed.

Administrative law 2024 ONCA 769

Del Grande v. Toronto Catholic District School Board

The Board’s By‑law authorizing reconsideration is a reasonable exercise of the broad statutory powers conferred by the Education Act; given that express reconsideration authority, re‑litigation doctrines and functus officio do not bar reconsideration, and deference is owed to the Board’s reasoned determination. Applying the Doré proportionality framework, the Board reasonably balanced Charter freedoms against its statutory duty to maintain an inclusive school climate, so the Merits and Sanction Decisions were reasonable and must be upheld.

  • Judicial review
  • Standard of review (reasonableness)
  • Reconsideration powers
  • Re‑litigation doctrines (res judicata, issue estoppel, functus officio)
