Independent NS Initiative v. Elections Nova Scotia

The Application for Judicial Review is dismissed because it was brought after the limitation period under Rule 7.05 had run (communication occurred in April 2024) and it amounts to a collateral attack and abuse of process in light of Justice Murray's prior, final decision in PtH 538503 which addressed timeliness and refused to extend time; mandamus was not available and the factual record did not justify reopening issues already decided.

Anzola v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration)

The ID is entitled, when applying paragraph 36(1)(b) IRPA, to consider extraneous circumstances that made the legal defence of duress not practically available in the foreign jurisdiction because duress goes to the voluntariness fundamental to criminal liability; the ID unreasonably failed to consider credible evidence that duress prevented the appellant from raising the defence and therefore the ID decision is set aside and the matter must be remitted for reconsideration.

  • Inadmissibility under paragraph 36(1)(b) irpa

Rogers Communications Canada Inc. v. Timeless Inc.

The Commission's remedy ordering staff‑assisted mediation and, if unsuccessful, final offer arbitration was a reasonable, discretionary response to an undue preference finding; its reasons were adequate when read in context, Rogers waived its complaint about new evidence, and claims that the Commission lacked power or was functus officio were either not raised below or unpersuasive; appeal and judicial review are dismissed.
