Civil procedure – Motion to strike – Whether application for leave raises an issue of public importance.
In 2009 and 2011, the Applicant sent correspondence to the Director General of the Canada Pension Plan and the former Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, respectively. He had sponsored his former spouse to come to Canada and was inquiring about the possibility that he might owe a possible sponsorship debt because his former spouse might have improperly received social assistance. When the Applicant did not get what he considered to be satisfactory responses, he attempted to bring an appeal as of right in this Court.
A registry officer refused the applicant’s notice of appeal for filing, gave him documents concerning the proper procedure, and referred him to the Court’s website. Dissatisfied, the Applicant brought an action in the Federal Court against, among others, the Registry of this Court, the registry officer with whom he had dealt, the Registrar, and the federal authority that approved the Court’s website.
The Respondent brought a motion to strike the Applicant’s statement of claim.
