- Parties: The applicant was Matthew Bulger. The respondent was the Attorney General of Canada. 

- Subject Matter: This judicial review application sought to set aside a decision of Canada Revenue Agency's Canada Emergency Benefits Validation at an administrative review. The decision required the applicant to pay all Canada Emergency Response Benefits (CERB) received in 2020–21 based on the income requirement. The application asked the court to reverse this decision, to recognize the benefits claim as valid and legal, and to order the full reimbursement of legal and administrative fees incurred as a result of this litigation and compensation for serious psychological distress suffered. The application alleged that the applicant did not receive a procedurally fair and/or adequate review of the documentation provided. This case is ongoing. 

- Date: The hearing was set on May 7, 2025. 

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court. 

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
