Feeney v. Canada
- Keenan Feeney, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran, challenged Veterans Affairs Canada's (VAC) decision not to reimburse his daughter's daycare costs. - VAC's decision was based on the criteria set out in the Veterans Well-being Regulations, which Feeney did not meet. - The initial decision was made on July 24, 2019, and Feeney filed for judicial review on December 16, 2020. - There is a dispute over when Feeney actually received the decision, affecting the timeliness of his judicial review application. - The court found evidence that Feeney was aware of the decision before the date he claimed to have received it. - Feeney had previously been declared a vexatious litigant, which limits his ability to initiate proceedings without the court's permission. - The court dismissed the application for judicial review because Feeney did not file within the required timeframe and did not seek an extension of time. - The court's judgment in case T-1515-20 dismissed the application with no costs awarded.
