Sun sought judicial review of the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) decision, which denied her eligibility for Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) payments and required repayment.
Sun argued the decision was unreasonable as she met the CRB eligibility criteria and claimed the CRA breached procedural fairness.
Legal Issues:
CRB Eligibility: Assessing whether the CRA’s decision regarding Sun's ineligibility for CRB payments was reasonable.
Procedural Fairness: Evaluating whether Sun was denied procedural fairness by the CRA.
Judgment:
Judge: The Honourable Madam Justice Aylen
Decision: Application for judicial review dismissed.
Reasoning:
The decision was found reasonable; Sun failed to demonstrate that it was unreasonable.
Sun did not demonstrate a denial of procedural fairness. The application did not satisfy CRB eligibility requirements for minimum income and a 50% reduction in average weekly income due to COVID-19.
Costs: Sun ordered to pay $500.00 in costs.
Conclusion:
The Federal Court dismissed Sun's application, upholding the CRA's decision. The judgment emphasized the importance of satisfying specific eligibility requirements for CRB and the adequacy of procedural fairness provided by the CRA.
