Summary:
They chose their representative, and absent some kind of fraud, the quality of the representation is of no concern to the Tribunal. If every dissatisfied client, after the fact, could challenge his representatives' handling of his case, there would be no end to the litigation. Not disturbed by FCA.

Summary:
Claimant has requested that legal counsel be provided to him at government expense, otherwise his right to counsel is infringed. I reject this insofar as it concerns the Crown in right of Canada. No such requirement unless provincial legal aid programmeprovides for this.
The legislation does not contemplate that one should be provided counsel. Indeed the provisions for appeals appear to contemplate informal, expeditious hearings where the claimant is personally present to argue his own case, though they do not exclude counsel from appearing.

Summary:
While the Commission should provide all possible help to claimants, especially to those with language difficulties, it is not always feasible to have someone interview them in their native tongue [Italian] nor is this a requirement of the legislation.
