SDC's decision is based on its interpretation of the
relevant legislation - the Canada Pension Plan or the
Old Age Security Act. A person who claims the decision
discriminates against them is usually challenging the
legislation under which the decision was made. Most
people who claim the legislation is discriminatory find
it useful to have professional assistance.
There are specific procedural requirements for appeals
involving the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
For example, the notice of appeal must contain a statement
of the facts, issues, statutory provisions, reasons
and evidence to be relied upon. As well, the Attorney
General of Canada and of each of the provinces and territories
must be given notice according to the requirements of
section 57 of the Federal Court Act. Proof of service
of the notice must be given to the Commissioner of Review
Tribunals no later than 7 days before the Review Tribunal
hearing date.
