The applicant, detained for nearly seven years under an immigration removal order, brought a habeas corpus application challenging the legality of his continued detention.
The court found that while the detention was of significant duration, it was reasonable and Charter-compliant given the applicant's persistent refusal to cooperate in establishing his true identity and obtaining necessary travel documents.
The court emphasized that the applicant's lack of cooperation was the primary cause of the prolonged detention, and the administrative review process was fair.
The application was dismissed, but without prejudice to future reconsideration if progress towards obtaining travel documents stalled.
