REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF
THE COURT
(Delivered from the Bench at Montréal, Quebec,
on November 24, 2015.)
BOIVIN J.A.
[1]
We are all of the opinion that there is no
reason to intervene.
[2]
We are not satisfied that the Chairperson of the
Canada Agricultural Review Tribunal (Tribunal) erred in the exercise of his
discretion in case management when deciding that it was preferable to decide
the preliminary argument raised by the applicant during the hearing on the
merits before the Tribunal.
[3]
More specifically, the application for judicial
review filed by the applicant seeks an interlocutory decision, and there are no
exceptional circumstances in the case at hand that would give rise to a
judicial review while the administrative process is still ongoing (C.B.
Powell Limited v. Canada (Border Services Agency), 2010 FCA 61, [2011] 2 F.C.R.
332, at paragraph 33).
[4]
The application for judicial review will
therefore be dismissed, without costs.
