  • The Role of the Federal Court of Appeal In
    SEMINAR ON THE FEDERAL COURTS WITH THE MONTREAL BAR TUESDAY, MAY 4, 2010, AT 4:30P.M. 30 McGILL ST.. MONTREAL "PROMPT RESOLUTION OF EVERY CASE, ON REQUEST" The role ofthe Federal Court ofAppeal in the prompt resolution ofcases Hello and thank you for inviting me to talk to you today on an important subject: the prompt resolution of cases in the Federal Courts, and specifically in the Federal Court of Appeal. I will repeat to you what my friend, the Honourable Michel Robert, Chief Justice ofthe Court of Appeal of Quebec, recently confided to me by telephone about his own court's success in case management and mediation. He explained to me that the Court of Appeal of Quebec does very little mediation because ofthe success achieved by the lower courts in this area. At the Federal Court of Appeal, we are also the beneficiaries ofthe effective work done by the Federal Court's judges and prothonotaries. In other words, we are the victims of our own success. In fact, we do not receive requests for mediation at the Federal Court of Appeal. It must be remembered that the Federal Court of Appeal is different from the Federal Court in many respects: for example, we have no witnesses, no evidence, few or no interlocutory motions, etc. Nor do we have prothonotaries, experts in case management and mediation, to help us. As you know, three Federal Court of Appeal judges sit together, and we often travel across the country to hear cases according to the needsArchive ofthe parties. That said, I remain open to the idea and I encourage you to submit your requests or motions for mediation to the Court of Appeal ifyou believe that this could be useful for your clients.

  • Soldiers Against Orders: a Radical Form of Civil Disobedience?
    群馬大学留学生センター論集 第６号 51―59頁 2006 51 Soldiers against Orders: A Radical Form of Civil Disobedience? ICHIKAWA Hiromi When you think of the long and gloomy history of man,you will find far more,and far more hideous, crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. ---Charles P.Snow 1961 Soldiers destroy houses,hurt and kill people in a battlefield. At the same time,they also will be attacked and might be killed. Soldiers,who are both assailant and victims,develop original activity based on experience in a battlefield and in the armed forces. There are soldiers choosing absence without leave (AWOL)or desertion that does not come back to their units. There are soldiers who are applying for conscientious objector status and who refuse certain orders (selec- tive objection). The principle that is important in the armed forces is “an order and obedience”,and a soldier is considered to obey orders of a senior officer. However,soldiers are also human beings and do not always obey an order like a machine. Sometimes they are willing to obey orders,sometimes against their will and sometimes they way disobey. There are various kinds of resistance done by soldiers. They sometimes choose sabotage,or engage in an anti-war movement on holidays. There are soldiers who go to AWOL and become deserters,and there is even a case of“fragging”, killing a senior officer in a battlefield. After World War II,it becomes obvious among international laws that the right to conscien- tious objection to military service should be guaranteed.

  • The Honourable Mr. Justice Barnes
    Date: 20080704 Docket: IMM-5923-06 Citation: 2008 FC 838 Ottawa, Ontario, July 4, 2008 PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Barnes BETWEEN: JOSHUA ADAM KEY, BRANDI RENEE KEY, ANNA CHARLENE KEY, PHILIP JAMES KEY, ZACKARY DANIEL KEY, ADAM KENT KEY Applicants and THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION Respondent REASONS FOR JUDGMENT AND JUDGMENT [1] This is an application for judicial review brought by Joshua Adam Key, his wife Brandi Renee Key, and their four children from a decision of the Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board (the Board) rendered at Toronto on October 20, 2006. The Applicants are all citizens of the United States and their claims to protection arise from Mr. Key’s desertion from the United States Army. PURL: https://www.legal-tools.org/doc/15dde2/ Page: 2 a. Background [2] Mr. Key enlisted in the United States Army in 2002 and in April, 2003, he entered Iraq via Kuwait as a private in the 43rd Combat Engineer Company. Pte. Key and his Company were assigned to security duties in Iraq. This included the responsibility for conducting night-time raids of private Iraqi homes in search of weapons. Pte. Key’s role in this was to blow open the doors with explosives and then to assist in both securing the premises and detaining the adult male occupants. Mr. Key alleged that during these searches he witnessed several instances of unjustified abuse, unwarranted detention, humiliation and looting by fellow soldiers, much of which he said was ignored by his superior officers. On other occasions while in Iraq, he witnessed or heard about the application of unwarranted physical abuse including lethal force against apparently innocent civilians.

  • National Security, Human Rights and the Fed- Eral Court
    National Security, Human Rights and the Fed- eral Court Speech delivered by the Honourable Anne Mactavish before the International Commission of Jurists in Ottawa, on Febru- ary 4, 20131 Good afternoon. I have been asked to speak to you today about the work of the Federal Court in the national security field, and the efforts that we make to balance national security and human rights. In 2004, Justice Ian Binnie, then of the Supreme Court of Canada, gave a speech to the Hong Kong Conference on the Criminal Law. He concluded his remarks by describing the conflict between hu- man rights and national security as being €œtruly a clash of the titans. In Canada, the task of reconciling these titanic issues falls mainly on the shoulders of a small group of judges of the Federal Court who have been designated by its Chief Justice to exercise the Court's jurisdiction in this area. I am going to speak to you this afternoon about the unique role that Parliament has entrusted to the Chief Justice and designated judges of the Federal Court in connection with national security mat- ters, and the challenges that this presents to these judges as we try to strike a balance between human rights and Canada's national security. Let me start with the caveats. First and foremost, as a sitting judge, it is simply not appropriate for me to debate or comment upon the policy choices which Parliament has made in legislation concerning national security matters. That is a matter for informed debate between Canadian citizens and their Parliamentarians.
