Bishop worked as a self-employed contractor for a single Vernon client doing renovations over the span of six months.
In a case heard in Vancouver, a Vernon handyman was granted a judicial review of the Canada Revenue Agency's refusal to pay him the Canada Recovery Benefit during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, Madam Justice Lobat Sadrehashemi found the CRA benefits compliance officer was unreasonable in their evaluation. "The officer did not evaluate Bishop's affidavit, which provided an explanation for his inability to produce other financial documentation. Repeatedly, Bishop explained to the CRA his difficulty in providing further documentation and set out the nature of the work he did and the steps he took to obtain documentation to verify this work," the judge wrote.
He applied for the benefit for four two-week periods from Sept. 27 to Nov. 21, 2020, providing his 2019 tax return and notice of assessment, where he had reported $6,200 in income for 2019.
