REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Ottawa, Ontario, on October 14, 2014).

NADON J.A.

[1]               We are of the view that the Federal Court made no error in concluding that, because of delay, the applicant’s judicial review application had to be dismissed.

[2]               We are satisfied that what is at issue in these proceedings, is a singular, discrete decision made by Treasury Board in June 2005 and communicated to the appellant by a letter from Public Works and Government Services Canada, dated July 14, 2005, which informed him that a transfer of pension credits under the Loba Limited reciprocal pension transfer agreement was not possible.

[3]               Consequently, the appellant, under subsection 18.1(2) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. F-7 was bound to act within the thirty-day period specified in the section or obtain leave to commence his application beyond that period.

[4]               The appeal will therefore be dismissed with costs.
