Research shows fate of refugees at discretion of judges
A study done by law professor Sean Rehab of York University reveals that decisions made on refugee claims are entirely in the hands of those who judge them. The author of the research examined all of 34,204 decisions made in 2011 by 148 judges of the Immigration and Refugee Board and discovered inconsistencies in 100 percent of the decisions made, given a rate of acceptance of 44.6%. According to the researcher, the luck factor still seems to play a relevant role. That’s because eleven of the judges in the research approved only 10% of cases while their colleague judges were far more generous, approving guaranteed stay in the coun-
try in 90% of the cases. There are even extreme cases where judges disapproved all the refugee claims that came to them for the year. All this inconsistency bears the question: is all this mere coincidence? No, says Rehab. He says that the Ministry of Immigration should rethink the plan still under discussion to ban the possibility of appeal by those who are denied refugee status. Ministry Jason Kenney wants to create a list of countries considered safe and capable of providing protection to its citizens which would make these very same citizens easier to be identified, heard and asked to leave
Mayor Rob Ford threatened to lose power A respected lawyer and political activist filed request for an injunction of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s mandate and loss of political powers for seven years. Clayton Ruby, the person behind the request, alleges that the chief of the executive for the municipality violated the ‘Municipal Conflict of Interest Act’ for personal financial gains. According to the lawyer, Ford would have breached the Act in February when he requested that the chamber remove sanctions that had been in place for one and a half years that were imposed onto Ford by the Commissioner of Municipal Integrity. The mayor would have benefited of his position in power to ask councilors to vote for the transfer of $3150 Canadian dollars to his football foundation.
After going through the chamber, Ford himself approved the project and it went through. Those allied to the mayor criticized the request for an injunction and tried to rationalize and play down the gravity of the Mayor’s actions. According to some councilors, all of them practice similar politics when trying to get approval for projects that benefit their electoral base. Buy both Ruby and those who oppose Ford say that if the Mayor is not punished for his actions that this would be like an incentive for the practice of corruption on an even bigger scale. In any case, this bears the question of whether any judge would remove a mayor out of power for the sake of a few thousand dollars. Probably not. But then one also has to ask: does the law really apply to all?
