Judicial review dismissed; non-binding medical recommendation for sex offenders is not reviewable.
The applicants, serving sentences for sexual-related crimes, sought judicial review regarding the Correctional Service of Canada's right to recommend hormone therapy to control sexual impulses.
The applicants refused the recommended treatment.
The Federal Court held that the recommendation to receive the treatment is not reviewable.
It does not amount to forced treatment, is not inexorably linked to a penitentiary placement decision, and does not infringe on the legal rights or interests of the applicants.
Appeal of vehicle seizure dismissed; plaintiff failed to provide accurate residence information at border.
The plaintiff's truck was seized by Canada Border Services Agency officers when he entered Canada from the United States after he gave conflicting information about his place of residence.
The Minister upheld the seizure on the basis that the plaintiff contravened the Customs Act by failing to provide true, accurate, and complete information.
The Federal Court conducted a trial de novo and determined that the plaintiff, who had been residing in Quebec for medical treatment, failed to accurately declare his living situation to the border officers.
The appeal was dismissed.
