Department of Justice Canada
  1. Nadler's Claim: Sought CRB for seven two-week periods. Initially received CRB for periods 10 to 14, but later CRA suspended his access pending eligibility verification.
  2. CRA Reviews:
    • First Review: Found Nadler ineligible due to not meeting the minimum income requirement.
    • Second Review: Accepted his application based on provided information, but warned of potential repayment if later found ineligible.
  3. Contested Periods: Nadler applied for CRB for periods 1 to 7 outside the 60-day timeframe, leading to denial.
  4. Court's Analysis:
    • Focused on the reasonableness of CRA's decision.
    • Examined inconsistencies in CRA's decisions regarding late applications for different periods.
    • Found a contradiction in CRA's treatment of late applications for periods 1-7 and 8-9.
  5. Conclusion:
    • Judgment: Application for judicial review dismissed.
    • Costs: No costs awarded.
    • Despite the inconsistency, setting aside the decision for redetermination deemed futile as it wouldn't alter the primary decision's reasonableness.
