- Parties: The applicant was Michal Zagol. The respondent was the Attorney General of Canada.
- Subject Matter: This judicial review application sought to set aside a decision of the Social Security Tribunal's Appeal Division, which dismissed the applicant's appeal of the General Division's decision. The application alleged that the Appeal Division's decision ignored the applicant’s central argument, which was that the Tribunal should decide that his immutable characteristic (religion) could not be misconduct because misconduct required conduct to be voluntary and immutable characteristics were not voluntary. Allegedly, the applicant's central argument was not that the Tribunal should decide whether the employer wrongfully denied his request for religious exemption. This case is ongoing.
- Date: The hearing was set on Nov. 27, 2024.
- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court of Appeal.
- Amount: No financial award was specified.
