BANK OF MONTREAL
  • Background: Chandrahas Jog appealed against two Federal Court orders that dismissed his motions for an extension of time to start applications for judicial review. These applications related to his dismissal from employment with the Bank of Montreal.

  • Appellant's Argument: Jog argued that medical problems and other legal proceedings against the Bank of Montreal caused his delay in filing applications for judicial review.

  • Decision: The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed Jog's appeals, finding no reversible error in the Federal Court's decision. The Court upheld the application of the legal test governing extensions of time and found no palpable and overriding error in the Federal Court's evaluation of evidence and decision-making.

  • Key Points:

    1. Evaluation of Evidence: The Court did not find Jog's evidence sufficiently detailed or related to the periods of delay in question.
    2. Legal Error: There was no legal error or palpable and overriding error by the Federal Court, warranting interference.
  • Conclusion: The case underscores the importance of providing detailed and relevant evidence when seeking extensions for filing judicial review applications and the courts' discretion in evaluating such requests.
