Kunkel v MCI 2009 FCA 347

July 25, 2010 by lorne

Jurisprudence Brief: 
The Court of appeal found no breach of natural justice when the applicant was only disclosed the extrinsic evidence during the course of the interview noting: While extrinsic evidence must be presented to applicants to provide them with a meaningful opportunity to respond, the opportunity to respond will vary, depending upon the factual context. What is fair and reasonable in one instance may not be in another. There is no general requirement that extrinsic evidence be provided to applicants prior to an interview, or that they be given an opportunity to clarify the situation after an interview. It may be that disclosing the evidence during an interview and providing applicants with the opportunity to explain will suffice. What constitutes sufficient notice turns on the circumstances of the particular case.
