Ottawa,
Ontario, December9, 2013
PRESENT:
The Honourable Mr. Justice Shore
|
BETWEEN:
|
|
OPAGA AKOUMA STÉPHANE EDDY
|
|
Applicant
|
|
and
|
|
MINISTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
|
|
Respondent
|
REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER
[1]
The applicant filed a motion application for a
stay of removal scheduled for December 10, 2013, at 3:30 p.m. to Gabon.
[2]
The Court issued an oral Direction today in this
regard.
[3]
The Court has held on numerous occasions that
last‑minute motions for a stay of removal require the respondent to draft
his submissions without adequate preparation and also do not facilitate the
work of the Court, thus decreasing the opportunities to have everything before
the Court to rule on the case. An injunction (a stay) is an extraordinary
remedy that warrants an in‑depth analysis (see Matadeen c MCI,
IMM-3164-00, June 22, 2000 (FCTD)) with sufficient time to arrive at a
reasoned judgment taking into account the consequences that flow from this
exceptional measure.
[4]
Salif Sangaré has been warned a number of
times to cease this last‑minute practice.
ORDER
THE COURT ORDERS that the applicant’s application for a
stay of removal is dismissed.
