If a claimant disagrees with the decision of the Appeal Division of the Social Security Tribunal, the claimant can file an a Notice of Application in the local Federal Court Registry for judicial review by the Federal Court of Appeal, on grounds set out in ss 28 and 18.1(4) of the current Federal Court Act. These are very similar to the grounds for appeal to the Appeal Division of the Social Security Tribunal.


If benefits are paid to the claimant and the Appeal Division allows the Commission’s appeal, the benefits cannot be recovered. In practice, however, when the Commission appeals it always alleges an error of law, and files within 21 days. This avoids the need to pay benefits while the appeal is pending.

Contact the Community Legal Assistance Society if this situation arises. See Chapter 20: Public Complaint Procedure for more information regarding judicial review.
