The appellant was deported from Canada and re-entered without the Minister's consent.
During an immigration inquiry, the appellant applied for a Minister's permit to remain in Canada and requested an adjournment of the inquiry until the application was considered.
The adjudicator refused the adjournment and issued a deportation order.
The Supreme Court of Canada held that an adjudicator is not required to adjourn an inquiry to allow a subject to pursue a ministerial permit application, as the adjudicator retains discretion over adjournments to ensure a full and proper inquiry.
