Dealt with in writing without appearance of parties.
Order delivered at Ottawa, Ontario, on February 1, 2007.
REASONS FOR ORDER BY: NOËL J.A.
Docket: 06-A-50
Citation: 2007 FCA 29
Present: NOËL J.A.
BETWEEN:
GHASSAN ASAD
Applicant
and
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA
Respondent
REASONS FOR ORDER
[1] The Applicant asks that I reconsider the order that I issued on December 14, 2006 denying his application of an extension of time to commence a judicial review application of the decision of an Umpire dated May 17, 2004 acting under the Employment Insurance Act. Rule 397 of the Federal Courts Rules is invoked.
[2] Rule 397 gives the Court jurisdiction to correct post facto any inadvertent mistake which is shown to have occurred in a decision. It is apparent from the material filed by the Applicant that he does not point to any such error or omission but that he seeks to re-argue his case albeit more comprehensively. The Court is without jurisdiction to reconsider its earlier decision on that basis.
[3] The motion must accordingly be denied.
