The respondent, a citizen of India, was convicted of criminal negligence causing death after street racing.
A removal order was issued.
He appealed to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) for special relief on humanitarian and compassionate grounds under s. 67(1)(c) of the IRPA.
The IAD denied relief.
The Federal Court dismissed the judicial review, applying patent unreasonableness.
The Federal Court of Appeal allowed the appeal, applying reasonableness simpliciter.
The Supreme Court of Canada allowed the Minister's appeal, restoring the IAD decision.
The Court held that the Dunsmuir standard of review analysis applies to judicial review under s. 18.1 of the Federal Courts Act, and the appropriate standard for the IAD's decision was reasonableness.
The IAD's decision fell within a range of reasonable outcomes.
