The applicant sought judicial review of the Minister of Justice's decision refusing to rescind an order surrendering him to Germany for trial.
The applicant argued that comments made to the media by a German prosecutor and judicial spokesperson demonstrated he would not receive a fair trial, violating his rights under s. 7 of the Charter.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the application, finding that the Minister did not err in concluding that the German justice system could be trusted to address any potential prejudice and ensure a fair trial.
