Facts: Gary Curtis appealed a Federal Court order affirming a Prothonotary’s decision to strike his application for judicial review as moot. The application sought a mandamus order against the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) related to Curtis' complaint against the Bank of Nova Scotia, which the CHRC had decided not to proceed with.

Issues: Curtis argued that the Prothonotary based his order on the wrong document, the CHRC's decision was not formalized as required, the application wasn’t moot, and the costs awarded were improper.

Court's Ruling: The Federal Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, agreeing with the lower court’s findings that the application was moot as the CHRC had completed its duty by deciding not to proceed with the complaint. The court found no error in the procedural and substantive aspects of the lower court’s decisions, including the costs awarded.

Costs/Damages: The appeal was dismissed with costs, awarding $500 to each respondent.
