- Parties: The applicant was Katia Fridman. The respondents were the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Attorney General of Canada. 

- Subject Matter: The applicants in the cases of T-2724-23 and T-2726-23 were K. Fridman and L. Fridman, respectively. The two of them were sisters. They applied to Global Affairs Canada for a delisting from the sanctions list found in part 1 of schedule 1 of the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations, SOR/2014-58, introduced under the Special Economic Measures Act, 1992. The foreign affairs minister refused to recommend the removal of the applicants’ names from the list. The applicants requested a judicial review. They then moved for a confidentiality order over certain portions of their documents in the proceedings. They argued that, without this order, they could be risking their personal safety and prosecution under Russian law. Last July 12, in Fridman v. Canada (Foreign Affairs), 2024 FC 1102, the Federal Court mostly dismissed the motion of applicant K. Fridman apart from making a proposed redaction to a bank account number. In both T-2724-23 and T-2726-23, the court held that most of the portions of the documents that the applicants alleged should be confidential should instead be in the public record, given that they failed to show a serious risk to an identified interest. This case is ongoing. 

- Date: The hearing was set on Mar. 5, 2025. 

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

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
