Jennifer Horsman v. The Canadian Coast Guard et al.

Legal case involves Canadian Coast Guard (CCG), Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), and Jennifer Horsman. Defendants sought to dismiss Horsman's claim based on jurisdictional grounds (Rule 221 of the Federal Courts Rules). Court approved the dismissal. Horsman, employed by CCG from Nov 2011 to May 2021, claimed an overpayment error of $8,752.28 for her employment between 2016 and 2020. She believed her pay was mishandled by the Phoenix Pay System. Horsman took multiple steps for resolution, including contacting CCG management and her union, PSAC. Horsman filed a Statement of Claim on March 8, 2023. Defendants responded using section 236 of the FPSLRA, indicating employment grievances must be internal. Court ruled in favor of Defendants, dismissing Horsman's Statement of Claim without costs.
