Key legal question
Admissibility of the appeal and whether it met the constitutional-motivation requirements
Extracted holding
The filing could only be treated as a subsidiary constitutional appeal, but it was inadmissible because it did not identify or substantiate any constitutional violation.
Extracted reasoning
The amount in dispute did not reach the minimum for an ordinary civil appeal. In a subsidiary constitutional appeal, the Federal Court reviews only properly pleaded constitutional grievances. The appellant failed to invoke any specific constitutional right, and the supplementary filing was late.
