Does the Court have any authority to interfere with the exercise of statutory authority to transfer inmates?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Dupras v. Paul Tl Urmson, 2001 FCT 632 (CanLII):
The decision to transfer inmates is a discretionary one. Courts in reviewing discretionary decisions ought not to interfere with the exercise of discretionary statutory authority merely because they may have arrived at a different decision. Where the decision is made in good faith, based on considerations relevant to the exercise of discretion, and no reliance is placed on any irrelevant or extraneous considerations, the decision ought not to be disturbed. See Légère v. Canada 1997 CanLII 5306 (FC), [1997], 133 F.T.R. 77 (F.C.T.D.).
