- Parties: The applicant was Warren Schofer. The respondent was the Attorney General of Canada.

- Subject Matter: This judicial review application challenged the final decision of the Expert Review Committee of the Jordan’s Principle and Inuit Child First Initiative Appeals Secretariat of Indigenous Services Canada. The application alleged that the decision-maker failed to observe a required principle of natural justice, procedural fairness, or other procedure or otherwise failed to act upon, fettered, or refused to exercise their jurisdiction or discretion in failing to find that the applicant’s daughters qualified for Jordan’s Principle funding for legal services to overturn a school board decision to deny them fully funded educational assistants which Jordan’s Principle was already funding, thus leading to a provincial school authority frustrating the federal implementation of Jordan’s Principle where the medical evidence and pre-existing Jordan’s Principle funding supported that the children had unmet health, social, or educational need. This case is ongoing.

- Date: The hearing was set on Dec. 10, 2024.

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court.

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
