When an application to stay an exclusion order is presented at the last minute, as in the instant case, certain facts must be taken into consideration. The first is that the court may very well refuse to hear the application... But if the court is persuaded that it should hear the case, that does not mean that everything will happen in the usual way. The applicant still has the burden of satisfying the court that he is entitled to the order he is seeking. In this instance, the burden is eased if the applicant is credible. 1, record 1, English, - stay%20an%20exclusion%20order

Quand une demande de surseoir à une mesure d'exclusion se présente à la dernière minute telle que dans l'instance, certaines réalités s'imposent. La première est que la cour peut très bien refuser d'entendre la demande [...] Mais, si la cour est persuadée qu'elle doit entendre la cause, cela ne veut pas dire que tout se passe de façon habituelle. Le demandeur a toujours le fardeau de satisfaire la cour qu'il a droit à l'ordonnance qu'il réclame. Dans l'instance, le fardeau est soulagé si le demandeur est crédible. 1, record 1, French, - surseoir%20%C3%A0%20une%20mesure%20d%27exclusion

La common law, contrairement au droit français, ne fait pas la distinction entre le pourvoi et l'appel et ne reconnaît pas le principe du double degré de juridiction. Dans le cas du pourvoi devant la Cour (française) de Cassation, ce tribunal ne représente pas un troisième degré de juridiction, car lorsqu'il casse une décision, il renvoie la connaissance de l'affaire à une juridiction du même degré que celle dont la décision est cassée. Dans le Recueil des arrêts de la Cour suprême du Canada, la pratique est d'utiliser le terme «pourvoi» en cas d'appel interjeté devant la Cour suprême qui est un troisième degré de juridiction. 5, record 12, French, - d%C3%A9bats%20en%20appel

Critical Dates. In any dispute a certain date, or several dates, will assume prominence in the process of evaluating the facts. The choice of such a date, or dates, is within the province of the tribunal seised of the dispute and will depend in some circumstances on the inevitable logic of the law applicable to the particular facts and, in other cases, on the practical necessity of confining the process of decision to relevant and cogent facts and thus to acts prior to the existence of a dispute.... There are several types of critical date, and it is difficult and probably misleading to formulate general definitions : the facts of the case are dominant(including, for this purpose, the terms of the special agreement empowering the tribunal to hear the case) and there is no necessity for a tribunal to choose any date whatsoever. In many cases there will be several dates of varying significance. 1, record 20, English, - critical%20date
