Family law 2025 ONCA 601

Kirby v. Woods

The application judge erred by failing to apply the rebuttable presumption arising from the RPD refugee determination and by improperly dismissing the child's clear and independent objection to return; the RPD's findings required deference and, absent case-specific rebuttal established on the record (including via oral evidence and cross-examination), the child could not be ordered returned; appeal allowed, order set aside, matter remitted to Superior Court and interim parenting orders granted.

  • Hague convention art.13(b) grave risk
  • Hague convention art.13(2) child's objection
  • Rebuttable presumption arising from irb refugee determination
  • Non-refoulement

Immigration law 2025 FCA 132

Talukder v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness)

The motions to intervene were dismissed because the proposed interveners failed the Rule 109 usefulness test: their submissions would largely duplicate the appellant's detailed memorandum, risk raising new issues beyond the notice of appeal (including broad international law matters and evidence not in the record), could cause delay, and are unnecessary to resolve the narrow certified question on the heightened 'specific intent' requirement for organizations alleged to have engaged in terrorism; only international law that directly assists in deciding that specific question is permissible.

  • Interveners and rule 109
  • Interpretation of s.34(1) irpa
  • Specific intent requirement for organizations alleged to engage in terrorism
  • Inadmissibility on terrorism grounds
  • Usefulness test for intervention
  • Scope of appellate issues
