Summary:

Résumé:

An inmate applied for habeas corpus with certiorari in aid. The Crown raised the preliminary issue of the court's jurisdiction to hear the inmate's application.

The New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench, Trial Division, dismissed the inmate's application.

Habeas Corpus - Topic 12

General - Remedies available in habeas corpus proceedings - An inmate successfully challenged his security reclassification from medium security to maximum security and his transfer to a maximum security prison - The judge ordered that the inmate's security classification be returned to that of medium and that he be returned to a medium security institution - He was transferred to Dorchester Institution - The inmate filed another application for habeas corpus with certiorari in aid - The Crown raised the preliminary issue of the court's jurisdiction to hear the inmate's application - The New Brunswick Court of Queen's Bench, Trial Division, dismissed the inmate's application - "The authorities are clear that this Court shall not interfere with the administration of penal institutions. This Court cannot dictate where an inmate is to be sent. In addition, the custody and control rests with the warden of the institution where an inmate is detained. The only role this Court can play is in determining whether a deprivation of liberty has occurred and, if so, was it lawful. If there was a deprivation which was unlawful, this Court can only order the deprivation be changed to the appropriate deprivation of liberty. This Court cannot further order that an applicant be sent to a particular institution." - Habeas corpus was restricted and was not available for the relief claimed by the inmate.
