Appellant
Respondent
- Parties: The appellants were Laura Bird and Lloyd Yew. The respondents were Canada (Attorney General) and Canoe Lake Cree First Nation.
- Subject Matter: This appeal sought to set aside a Federal Court judgment, which denied the appellants' judicial review application in file T- 1785-23. The application alleged that the Canoe Lake Cree First Nation Citizenship Law discriminated on the basis of sex and/or gender or other analogous grounds in violation of s. 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; was not justified by s. 1 of the Charter; breached s. 28 of the Charter and s. 35(4) of the Constitution Act, 1982; and was not shielded by s. 25 of the Charter. The appeal argued that the application judge erred in finding that there was no administrative decision being challenged, erred in finding that the matter was not properly framed as a judicial review and should be commenced as an action, erred by setting aside the application on the ground that a different originating document should have been used, and erred in finding the declaratory relief and mandamus remedies were unavailable. This case is ongoing.
- Date: The hearing was set on Mar. 25, 2025.
- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court of Appeal.
- Amount: No financial award was specified.
