BETWEEN:
JEAN NOËL SANCHEZ,
Appellant,
and
HIS MAJESTY THE KING,
Respondent.
[OFFICIAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION]
REASONS FOR ORDER
[1] The respondent has filed a motion to strike the appellant’s Notice of Appeal on the grounds that the Court lacks jurisdiction to hear the appeal and to grant the relief sought.
[2] The Court’s lack of jurisdiction to hear the appellant’s appeal stems from the fact that the appeal does not involve a tax assessment for which the appellant has filed a Notice of Objection, as required in subsection 165(1) of the Income Tax Act (“ITA”).
[3] The Court’s lack of jurisdiction to grant the relief sought in the Notice of Appeal flows from the fact that the appellant is seeking relief in damages, judicial declarations and injunctions against the Canada Revenue Agency. However, none of these options fall within the powers conferred on the Court in particular by subsection 171(1) of the ITA or subsection 12(1) of the Tax Court of Canada Act.
[4] The submissions that the appellant made in response to this motion do not allege the contrary and, furthermore, do not respond to the respondent’s motion.
[5] The appellant should consider whether some or all of his arguments can be restated to have them fall within the jurisdiction of the Federal Court of Canada.
[6] The respondent’s motion is allowed with costs.
Signed at Montreal, Canada, this 25th day of May 2023.
