The appellant, facing extradition to the U.S. for alleged sexual offenses, appealed his committal order and sought judicial review of the Minister of Justice's surrender order.
The appeal challenged the dismissal of a disclosure application, arguing a nexus between alleged misconduct during arrest and extradition proceedings, and the committal judge's finding on accessing child pornography, asserting the private use exception.
The judicial review argued the Minister's surrender order was unreasonable due to impermissible delegation and insufficient consultation with IRCC regarding potential deportation to India.
The Court of Appeal dismissed both the appeal and the judicial review, finding no error in the disclosure ruling, confirming the private use exception is a defence not for committal judges, and upholding the Minister's reasonable exercise of discretion and consultation.
