Motion for stay of removal dismissed as applicants failed to establish irreparable harm.
The applicants, citizens of India, sought an urgent stay of their removal scheduled for January 25, 2026, pending a determination on their application for leave and judicial review of the Canadian Border Services Agency's refusal to administratively defer their removal.
The Court found the applicants failed to establish a strong prima facie case or irreparable harm, particularly noting the lack of evidence of ongoing medical treatment for their children or themselves that would be disrupted.
The balance of convenience favoured the Minister's duty to execute the valid removal order.
The motion for a stay was dismissed.
Corporate veil pierced and property transfer declared unopposable to secure tax debt.
The Minister of National Revenue sought to finalize an interim charging order on a property to satisfy a tax debt owed by Distribution Carflex inc.
The Minister applied to pierce the corporate veil between Carflex and its sole shareholder and director, Yvan Drapeau, who had improperly obtained a $5 million tax refund and used part of it to purchase the property.
Drapeau then transferred the property to another corporation he controlled, 9488-0846 Québec inc.
The Federal Court granted the application, finding the corporate veil should be pierced to prevent fraud.
The Court declared the property transfer unopposable to the Minister as a fraudulent conveyance under the Civil Code of Québec and made the charging order on the property definitive.
