Applicant
Respondent
- Parties: The applicant was Nadire Atas. The respondents were the Attorney General of Canada, the Attorney General of Ontario, and the Canadian judicial officials.
- Subject Matter: The applicant alleged that it was contrary to the law and the Constitution of Canada to permit an administrative tribunal, including the Canadian Judicial Council, to act or refuse to act in respect of an application for statutory redress for the alleged violation of constitutional rights, without legal standards or criteria dictated by statute or subordinate legislation. A judicial review application tackled the issue of whether the Canadian Judicial Council executive director’s decision to screen out the applicant’s complaint about Justice D.L. Corbett was unlawful or in contravention of the applicant’s rights. On Feb. 14, 2024, in Atas v. Canada (Attorney General), 2024 FC 241, the Federal Court struck the notice of application without leave to amend and dismissed it as against Ontario’s attorney general and 14 justices. This case is ongoing.
- Date: The hearing was set on Apr. 16, 2024.
- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court.
- Amount: No financial award was specified.
