Charkaoui V. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) - Events Subsequent To The Decision

Events Subsequent To The Decision

On July 31, 2009 the Crown admitted there was insufficient evidence to uphold the security certificate against Mr. Charkaoui. This followed the Crown withdrawing much of its evidence in the face of Court orders for greater transparency. In response Justice Tremblay-Lamer presiding over the case issued a directive on August 5, 2009 saying she will consider whether she should quash the certificate or order the Ministers to revoke it themselves on her return from holidays, in early September.

On September 24, 2009 Justice Tremblay-Lamer announced she would lift all restrictions on Mr. Charkaoui by the end of the day.

Famous quotes containing the words events, subsequent and/or decision:

    There are no little events in life, those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance.
    Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)

    ... the outcome of the Clarence Thomas hearings and his subsequent appointment to the Supreme Court shows how misguided, narrow notions of racial solidarity that suppress dissent and critique can lead black folks to support individuals who will not protect their rights.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    You can hesitate before deciding, but not once the decision is made.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)
