The SCC is releasing its decision in the immigration case of Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) v. Mason on Wednesday, Sept. 27. At issue is whether “inadmissible on security grounds” for acts of violence that could endanger Canadians requires proof the conduct is connected to national security issues. This decision could involve a significant standard of review analysis.
A key issue examined by the Trial Judge in this case, was whether expert evidence was required to establish the breaches of the standard of care alleged by the Appellant.
