- Parties: The appellant was the Attorney General of Canada. The respondent was Medline Canada Corporation. 

- Subject Matter: This judicial review application under s. 68 of the Customs Act, 1985 sought to set aside a Canadian International Trade Tribunal decision relating to a tariff classification. The decision concluded that sterile surgical gloves were "for use in" surgical instruments like scalpels under s. 2(1) of the Customs Act and under tariff item 9977.00.00. The application alleged that the decision erred in law when it misinterpreted the customs tariff, went against the modern approach to statutory interpretation, and ignored the analytical framework provided by the jurisprudence. This case is ongoing. 

- Date: The hearing was set on Mar. 11, 2025. 

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

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
