Limitation of actions 2026 NSSC 143

I.C. Property Management Solutions Inc. v. Horodyski

The Adjudicator correctly applied s.8(2)(d) by finding discoverability was delayed until late October 2023 because the claimant reasonably relied on the defendant's superior roofing expertise and ongoing remedial efforts and only when the defendant ceased communications and services and the roof deterioration became 'significant' did the claim become sufficiently serious to warrant proceedings; accordingly the action filed in April 2025 was within the two-year limitation period and the appeal fails.

Employment insurance 2025 TSS 905

Commission de l’assurance-emploi du Canada c CC

The Appeal Division held that the division générale erred in law by failing to apply binding precedent Laughland and by conflating the reg 9.001 "habitual and reasonable" job‑search requirements with the Faucher job‑search element, imposing a stricter test; applying the correct law, the claimant was not justified in voluntarily leaving employment and, on the evidence, was not available for work during her studies (first term unavailable; second term rebuttal of presumption achieved but claimant did not demonstrate desire and active search for full‑time work), therefore Commission's position i…

Beaulieu c. Canada

The Federal Court of Appeal upheld the Tax Court's factual finding that the appellant did not assume the mortgages and therefore received a taxable benefit under s.15(1); the 2017 resale does not eliminate the 2013 taxable benefit; the Tax Court committed no reviewable legal error and the late-filing penalty under s.162(1) was properly imposed, so the appeal is dismissed.

Douglas v. Faucher

The motion judge permissibly found a material change in circumstances because the respondent acquired more than 40% parenting time from about 2017 onward; that factual finding engaged s.9 of the Guidelines permitting an income‑based set‑off and retroactive adjustment beginning January 1, 2018, and the Court of Appeal found no palpable and overriding error in the motion judge's factual findings or discretionary application of Contino and therefore dismissed the appeal.
