The Social Security Tribunal of Canada (SST) is an independent administrative tribunal that makes judicial decisions on appeals about employment insurance benefits, old-age security payments, and retirement pensions (the Canada Pension Plan). In an effort to facilitate the navigation of the appeal process for persons who lack a representative, such as a lawyer, the SST are converting their written materials into plain language.
The NSRLP are looking for current and past self-represented litigants (SRLs) from all across Canada to provide their input on whether or not this initiative is effective and how easy or difficult it is for SRLs to understand the SST forms, letters, and other tribunal documents.
The NSRLP will provide a gift card to all participants of this public input project in appreciation of your time.
Public voices matter and we want to hear from you! Please help us improve legal system processes by providing your input on this important and impactful research project.
Please email representingyourself@gmail.com for more information!

Self represented, and assume I have some experience as it was a three plus year process from reversing a divorce ruling to beginning the process again and going right through to a new trial (the real thing, not a hearing).
Hi Rachel, if you are interested in possibly volunteering for this initiative, please email us at representingyourself@gmail.com.
SRLS – The Canadian Constitution says it is the supreme law in Canada. However, common laws such as res-adjudicatta, regularly supersedes written laws. Should res-adjudicatta supersede fraud ?
The United Nations have published several conventions, covenants, and treaties. Do these international Human Rights laws bind Canada, & supersede the Canada Constitution Act (1982) ?
The Royal Proclamation (1763) stated all Indigenous people continue to have the same rights that they previously enjoyed. Does that mean indigenous people can continue to hunt, fish, or farm any plant like tobacco without being harassed by any Federal or Provincial laws?
Hi Keith,
I sent an email asking to be included but have not heard back.
Past and present SRL
Thank you
Judy
