The respondent's refugee claim was rejected and a deportation order was issued.
After exhausting immigration review and Federal Court appellate processes, the respondent brought a constitutional challenge in the Ontario Court (General Division).
The motions court judge stayed the application, finding the Federal Court was the appropriate forum.
The Court of Appeal set aside the stay.
The Supreme Court of Canada allowed the appeal, holding that the motions court judge properly exercised his discretion to stay the proceedings, as Parliament had created a comprehensive scheme of review in the Federal Court.
