Can a Minister of Justice be bound by the result of another decision on refugee status?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Aoutlev v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2007 FC 111 (CanLII):
This Court’s case law has established in a large number of decisions that a decision-maker is not bound by the result in another claim, even if the claim involves a relative, because refugee status is determined on a case-by-case basis, and because it is possible that the other decision was incorrect. Bakary v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2006 FC 1111, [2006] F.C.J. No. 1418 (QL) (Pinard J.); Rahmatizadeh v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), [1994] F.C.J. No. 578 (QL) (Marc Nadon J.).)
