  • Practice and Procedure the Applicable Rules Of
    PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE THE APPLICABLE RULES OF EVIDENCE IN FEDERAL COURT: A SHORT PRIMER ON A TRICKY QUESTION Whether at trial or during interlocutory proceedings, litigators need to know the applicable rules of evidence, since there are import- ant variations in provincial evidence law. The largest difference, of course, is between the civil law of QueÂbec and laws of the nine common-law provinces. Yet significant differences exist even between the common law provinces themselves. Admissions made during discovery can be contradicted at trial in Ontario, but not in Saskatchewan.1 Spoliation of evidence requires intentional conduct in British Columbia before remedies will be granted, but not in New Brunswick.2 Evidence obtained through an invasion of privacy is inadmissible in Manitoba, while the other provinces have yet to legislate on this issue.3 1.

  • The Honourable Mr. Justice Hugessen
    Date: 20080417 Docket: T-866-95 Citation: 2008 FC 497 Vancouver, British Columbia, April 17, 2008 PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Hugessen BETWEEN: THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION Applicant and HELMUT OBERLANDER Respondent Docket: T-1505-01 A-294-03 BETWEEN: HELMUT OBERLANDER Applicant (Appellant) and THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA Respondent PURL: https://www.legal-tools.org/doc/cfef0d/ Page: 2 REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER Introduction [1] These reasons deal with motions for orders fixing costs brought by both parties in two distinct but closely related proceedings in this Court. The first of those proceedings was a reference made under section 18 of the Citizenship Act. Following the decision of Justice MacKay on that reference both parties made applications to him for costs orders which were by consent adjourned sine die pending the completion of revocation proceedings before the Governor in Council and the judicial review thereof. Justice MacKay having now retired, and no costs order having been made by him, each party now seeks an Order for its costs of the reference from me. [2] Mr. Oberlander also seeks certain extra-judicial costs allegedly incurred by him in the period following Justice MacKay's decision and culminating in the Governor in Council's decision to revoke his citizenship. [3] Finally, following the revocation decision by the Governor in Council, Mr. Oberlander brought judicial review proceedings which were dismissed by a judge of this Court but later allowed by the Federal Court of Appeal “with costs here and below” and I am now asked to fix the amount of such costs.

  • Federal Court Cour Fédérale
    Federal Court Cour fédérale THE HONOURABLE SEAN J. HARRINGTON THE FEDERAL COURTS JURISDICTION CONFERENCE STEERING COMMITTEE PERSONAL REMINISCENCES At our Jurisdiction Conference Steering Committee meeting, held on Thursday, 22 July 2010, it was agreed that we should focus on the present and the future. However, it was also thought that some mention should be made of the original raison d’être of our courts and their history. As Chief Justice Lutfy is fond of pointing out, Mr. Justice Hughes and I are probably the only two sitting judges who not only appeared in the courts from day one, but also appeared in the Exchequer Court! This got me to thinking how important the Federal Courts were in my practice, and gave me a bad case of nostalgia. Maritime law has always been my speciality (although my first appearance in the Exchequer Court was before President Jackett on an Anti-Combines matter). The Federal Court had many advantages over provincial courts. Its writ ran nationwide. Cargo might be discharged in one province and delivered in another. Provincial courts were less prone at that time to take jurisdiction over defendants who could not be personally served within the jurisdiction. Provincial bars were very parochial, and in the days before inter-provincial law firms, if it were not for the Federal Court, maritime players and their underwriters sometimes had to hire two or more different law firms to pursue what was essentially one cause of action. Doc: Federal Courts_Personal Reminiscences_SJH_18-Aug-10.doc Page: 1 The Crown was a much bigger player in maritime matters in the 1970s.

  • CANADIAN MILITARY LAW SENTENCING UNDER the NATIONAL DEFENCE ACT." PERSPECTIVES and MUSINGS of a FORMER SOLDIER Colonel (Ret.) Me Michel W
    39 1 CANADIAN MILITARY LAW SENTENCING UNDER THE NATIONAL DEFENCE ACT." PERSPECTIVES AND MUSINGS OF A FORMER SOLDIER Colonel (Ret.) Me Michel W. Drapeau' Ottawa The Canadian Charter ofRights and Freedoms recognizes the existence of the militaryjustice system and its own tribunals operating in parallel to the Canadian criminal law system. Yet, there continues to be an absolutepaucity of any reference works on military law and members of the Canadian military bar are seldom heard or read. This article aims atfilling the void, at least in part. In writing this article, the author, who servedfor 34 years in general staff and command positions in the Canadian Forces, had two general purposes in mind: a) to present the general reader with a general overview ofthe history, customs, organization, and structure ofthe military personnel system, and b) to provide a reference work presenting a detailed view ofthe Code ofMilitary Discipline, both in its contents and its workings. Finally, in light ofthe extensive changes in 1999 to the National Defence Act and the accompanying regulations, the author concludes by reviewing the nature and impact of each of the punishments that may be imposed by a military tribunal or the Court Martial Appeal Court ofCanada to those who are subject to the Code ofService Discipline. La Charte canadienne des droits et libertés reconnaît la eo-existence d'un système de justice militaire avec ses propres tribunaux en parallèle avec le droit pénal canadien. Cependant, même si de nombreux livres ont décrit et interprété l'histoire militaire canadienne, il existe présentement aucun ouvrage sur le droit militaire et les praticiens de ce droit se font que très rarement entendre.

  • Federal Court of Canada
    Federal Court Cour fédérale Date: 20100705 Docket: T-230-10 Citation: 2010 FC 715 Ottawa, Ontario, July 5, 2010 PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Zinn BETWEEN: OMAR AHMED KHADR Applicant and THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA, THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS and THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE Respondents AND BETWEEN: Docket: T-231-10 OMAR AHMED KHADR Applicant and THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA and THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS Respondents REASONS FOR JUDGMENT AND JUDGMENT [1] These applications, at their heart, ask whether Mr. Khadr was entitled to procedural fairness by the executive in making its decision as to how Canada would respond to the declaration issued Page: 2 by the Supreme Court of Canada in Canada (Prime Minister) v. Khadr , 2010 SCC 3 [ Khadr II ]. In Khadr II , the Court held that Mr. Khadr’s rights under section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms had been breached by Canada, and issued a declaration to provide the legal framework for Canada to take steps to remedy that breach. For the reasons that follow, in the unique circumstances of this case, I find that Omar Khadr was entitled to procedural fairness by the executive when making its decision as to the appropriate remedy to take. I further find that the executive failed to provide Mr. Khadr with the level of fairness that was required when making its decision. Both the degree of fairness to which he was entitled and the remedy for having failed to provide it are unique and challenging issues. Background [2] The facts surrounding Mr.
