The right to habeas corpus is a centuries-old remedy intended to protect individuals from \u201cwrongful restraints upon their liberty.\u201d The Supreme Court of Canada today extended this remedy to individuals held in immigration detention. CCLA was an intervenor in the case of Canada v Chhina. We argued that liberty protections afforded to people detained by the state should be available to non-citizens. The scheme of detention review under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is inadequate compared to the remedy available under habeas corpus.<\/p>\n

Mr Chhina had spent many months in immigration detention, some of which in the Calgary remand centre. There, they keep inmates on lockdown 22 and a half hours each day.The first court to receive Mr Chhina\u2019s habeas corpus application declined to hear it. They found that Mr Chhina had access to a complete and adequate detention review process under the Immigration Act. Thus, he was not entitled a habeas corpus remedy. The Supreme Court of Canada found otherwise. They found that the Immigration Act detention review process is \u201cunable to effectively address the challenge raised by Mr Chhina\u2019s application in a manner that is as broad and advantageous as habeas corpus.\u201d In particular, the Immigration Act places an onus on detainees to argue that the detention is unlawful. The regulations do not guide how to consider the length and duration of the detention. Meanwhile, habeas corpus requires the government to justify the legality of the detention.<\/p>\n

The Court also referred to an external audit commissioned by the chair of the Immigration and Refugee Board which \u201coffers a timely, and frankly unfortunate, picture of how the [detention review] scheme is being administered for those in long-term detention,\u201d and how it is failing to protect individual rights. The 2018 audit shows how new reviews tend to rely on old decisions rather than looking afresh at the legality of the detention. The immigration review body, rather than conducting an independent review, \u201coften overly relies on the Canada Border Services Agency\u2019s submissions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Court also found that the immigration review scheme does not adequately provide for consideration of a detainee\u2019s Charter rights in the full context of their circumstances. Moreover, the habeas corpus scheme is a swift and immediate remedy. This is in contrast to the lengthy process that can occur under the Immigration Act.<\/p>\n

As such, the Court concluded, \u201cAlthough our legal system continues to evolve, habeas corpus \u201cremains as fundamental to our modern conception of liberty as it was in the days of King John\u201d and any exceptions to its availability must be carefully limited.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
