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.
