Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
Contracts – Performance – Sponsorship agreement – Applicant ordered to pay $17,113.17 under sponsorship agreement to reimburse income security benefits paid to sponsorees – Whether Court of Appeal should have granted leave to appeal.
Under a sponsorship agreement signed in 1989, the applicant sponsored E. K., his fiancée at the time, and her two sons, all of whom were of Polish origin. The applicant and Ms. K. were married in 1990, had a daughter, separated in 1994 and divorced in 1997. In 2000, pursuant to the agreement, the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale (the department) claimed $22,934.28 from the applicant for the income security benefits paid to the sponsorees. Following a review, the department’s review section reduced the claim to $17,113.17.
The applicant appealed the decision to the Administrative Tribunal of Québec (“ATQ”), which confirmed it. The Quebec Superior Court dismissed the application for judicial review on the ground that the ATQ’s decision was reasonable. The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion for leave to appeal out of time. It held that, even if the time limit specified in art. 523 C.C.P. had been met, the motion raised no grounds offering a reasonable chance of success.
