Judicial review granted; IAD unreasonably interpreted 'member' and wrongly applied temporal constraints.
The Minister applied for judicial review of an Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) decision that found the respondent not inadmissible on security grounds under paragraph 34(1)(f) of the IRPA.
The IAD held that the respondent's involvement in the People's Democratic Party (PDP) prior to 2011 did not amount to active membership and that terrorist acts by the PDP occurred before she became an active member.
The Federal Court granted the application, finding the IAD's decision unreasonable because it failed to follow binding jurisprudence that requires an unrestricted interpretation of 'member' and rejects any temporal connection requirement between an individual's membership and an organization's wrongful acts.
