Summary
Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.
Extradition – Committal hearings – Powers of extradition judge – Judicial review of Minister’s surrender order – Whether the Court of Appeal erred in upholding the extradition judge’s decision ordering the applicant’s committal into custody to await the Minister of Justice’s surrender decision, and in dismissing the application for judicial review of Minister’s surrender order.
The applicant, Sean Doak, is currently awaiting extradition to the United States in relation to criminal charges for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to traffic large amounts of drugs across the Canada-US border. Following the issuance of the Supreme Court of British Columbia’s order committing Mr. Doak into custody under the Extradition Act, S.C. 1999, c. 18, the Minister ordered Mr. Doak’s surrender to the United States. Mr. Doak’s appeal and application for judicial review of the Minister’s surrender order were dismissed by the British Columbia Court of Appeal.
