Appellant
Respondent
- Parties: The appellant was Aileen Michel. The respondent was the Attorney General of Canada.
- Subject Matter: This appeal sought to quash the Federal Court's order dismissing the appellant's application to certify the action as a class proceeding. The appeal alleged that the motions judge erred in finding that the pleadings failed to disclose a cause of action under s.15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The appeal also alleged that the motions judge erred by failing to recognize that administering and relying on impugned standardized tests (i.e. the Custody Rating Scale test, Static Factor Analysis test, Dynamic Factor Identification and Analysis - Revised test, and Rehabilitation Potential test) caused or contributed to deprivation and/or harm sufficient to sustain an arguable cause of action under s.15 of the Charter. This case is ongoing.
- Date: The hearing was set on June 19, 2024.
- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court of Appeal.
- Amount: No financial award was specified.
