REASONS
FOR ORDER BY: NADON
J.A.
Date: 20101105
Docket: A-337-10
Citation: 2010 FCA 297
Present: NADON

and
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA
Respondent
REASONS FOR ORDER
NADON J.A.
[1]
The
applicant’s motion will be dismissed.
[2]
First, I
am unable to understand the exact nature of the remedy sought by the applicant.
Second, if I make a number of assumptions, it appears that the applicant is
asking this Court to give directions binding on the Pension Appeals Board.
Rules 53 and 54 of the Federal Courts Rules, on which the applicant
relies for his motion, certainly cannot authorize such directions.
[3]
Rules 53
and 54 provide as follows:
|
53. (1) In making an order under these
Rules, the Court may impose such conditions and give such directions as it
considers just.
(2) Where these Rules provide that the
Court may make an order of a specified nature, the Court may make any other
order that it considers just.
Motion for directions
54. A person may at any time bring a
motion for directions concerning the procedure to be followed under these
Rules.
|
53. (1) La Cour peut assortir toute
ordonnance qu’elle rend en vertu des présentes règles des conditions et des
directives qu’elle juge équitables.
Ordonnances équitables
(2) La Cour peut, dans les cas où les
présentes règles lui permettent de rendre une ordonnance particulière, rendre
toute autre ordonnance qu’elle juge équitable.
54. Une personne peut présenter une
requête à tout moment en vue d’obtenir des directives sur la procédure à
suivre dans le cadre des présentes règles.
|
[4]
Thus, on
their clear wording, the rules allow the Court to give directions with regard
to the procedure to be followed before the Court during the course of an appeal
or a judicial review application. There can be no doubt whatsoever that the
rules do not contemplate the issuance of a direction of the type apparently
sought by the applicant in his motion.
[5]
For these
reasons, the motion will be dismissed with costs.

Nadon”
