Administrative law 2020 FCA 170

Canada (Attorney General) v. Soucy

Court
Federal Court of Appeal

The Federal Court reasonably concluded the Commission's decision was unintelligible and unreasonable because it failed to explain why the appointment decision premised on the manager's selection based on 'values' did not engage the merit principle in s.30 and therefore did not warrant investigation under s.66; the Federal Court of Appeal upheld that conclusion and dismissed the appeal.

Canada (Attorney General) v. Shakov

Court
Federal Court of Appeal

The appeal was allowed in part: the Federal Court’s judgment was varied and the matter remitted to the Public Service Commission for reconsideration because the PSC investigator made unreasonable factual findings and failed to address the key question whether, in the exigent circumstances, classifying the term supervisory position as English Essential constituted improper conduct under s.66 of the PSEA; the PSC’s retroactive revocation of Shakov’s term appointment was unreasonable and cannot stand.

Public Service Alliance of Canada v. Senate of Canada

Court
Federal Court of Appeal

The Board reasonably concluded that a contractual requirement to post bargaining unit vacancies would intrude on employer staffing procedures governed by s.55(2) and therefore lay outside the Board's arbitral jurisdiction; the Federal Court of Appeal applied a reasonableness standard and found the Board's conclusion and limited reasons defensible and intelligible, dismissing the judicial review.
