The applicant, who was subject to a security certificate under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, brought an application for habeas corpus in the Superior Court to challenge the conditions of his release imposed by the Federal Court.
The Minister brought a motion to stay the application.
The Superior Court granted the motion and stayed the application, finding that the Federal Court's security certificate scheme is a complete, comprehensive, and expert statutory procedure that is as advantageous as habeas corpus, and therefore the Peiroo exception applies.
