Eight Supreme Court decisions plus two Federal Court decisions on the
IRPA s. 40 misrepresentation doctrine:

- Canadian Council for Refugees, 2023 SCC 17 (Safe Third Country Agreement)
- Hydro-Quebec, 2008 SCC 43 (duty to accommodate, undue hardship)
- Stewart v Elk Valley Coal, 2017 SCC 30 (addiction, safety-sensitive workplaces)
- Central Okanagan v Renaud, [1992] 2 SCR 970 (tripartite duty to accommodate)
- Irving Pulp & Paper, 2013 SCC 34 (random alcohol testing)
- MPAO v Canada, 2015 SCC 1 (collective bargaining rights for security forces)
- SFL v Saskatchewan, 2015 SCC 4 (constitutional right to strike)
- US v Ferras; US v Latty, 2006 SCC 33 (extradition / Charter s. 7)
- Wang v Canada, 2005 FC 1059 (innocent-misrepresentation defence)
- Bellido v Canada, 2005 FC 452 (materiality of a misrepresentation)

Heavily weighted to labour law and security-services bargaining, the
direct context for the FB collective agreement and BSO disputes. +611
case-law chunks (4425 -> 5036); corpus 16218 chunks. 5 new gold eval
questions added covering Elk Valley, Irving, MPAO, SFL, CCRf -- all
rank 1.

139-question eval: Hit@1 0.75 / Hit@3 0.88 / Hit@5 0.94 / Hit@10 0.97
/ MRR 0.83 (vs pre-add 134-Q baseline 0.75 / 0.89 / 0.93 / 0.96 / 0.83
-- Hit@5 and Hit@10 up, no regression).
