Charkaoui v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2007
From: The Court and the Charter
$1.50
The Supreme Court of Canada unanimously decided that sections of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, in providing for the issue of a certificate of inadmissibility leading to the detention of a permanent resident or foreign national deemed to be a threat to national security, while not breaching equality rights and not constituting cruel or unusual treatment, did not conform to principles of fundamental justice and infringed the right to be free of arbitrary detention and the right to have detention reviewed promptly.
