Taxation 2026 FCA 96

Canada v. Marine Atlantic

The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the Crown’s appeal: the Tax Court did not err in awarding enhanced costs (60% of Marine Atlantic’s legal fees) because the Crown’s prolonged refusal to accept BC Ferries findings and its last‑minute filing of the Shimizu affidavit constituted conduct that unnecessarily lengthened and increased the cost of the proceeding and justified compensation and deterrence; the Tax Court’s quantum was within its discretion and not unprincipled for lack of comparative citations.

Nanaimo (City) v. Mema

The Tribunal's finding that race and colour were factors in the City's decisions to suspend and terminate Mema was reasonable and supported by the evidentiary record; the chambers judge correctly dismissed the petition for judicial review and this Court will dismiss the appeal, deferring to the Tribunal's factual inferences and concluding any minor factual error was not material to the result.

Administrative law 2026 FCA 94

Musani v. Canada (Attorney General)

The Appeal Division's decision was reasonable: the Court refused to consider Charter arguments raised for the first time on judicial review; the applicant failed to prove good cause under s.10(4) EI Act for the entire period of delay such that antedating to May 22, 2022 was warranted, and even allowing a limited antedate to August 2023 would not produce sufficient insurable hours to qualify; therefore the application is dismissed.

  • Antedating of ei claims
  • Good cause
  • Standard of review
  • Procedural fairness
  • Charter issues raised late

Employment insurance 2026 FCA 93

Henriques v. Canada (Attorney General)

The Appeal Division's dismissal of the applicant's appeal was reasonable because the General Division properly found misconduct under s.30 of the Employment Insurance Act: the applicant knew or ought to have known IKEA's customer conduct expectations, had been warned, and willfully contravened the policy by directing a customer to 'shut up'; the factual findings were not perverse or capricious and the applicant's health and harassment claims did not render the decision unreasonable.

  • Misconduct
  • Standard of review
  • Evidence and findings of fact
  • Notice and warnings
  • Workplace harassment and health issues
