LESLIE v EDMONTON INSTITUTION, 2020 ABQB 430

HENDERSON J

3.68: Court options to deal with significant deficiencies

Case Summary

The Applicant was incarcerated and applied for a writ of habeas corpus.

Justice Henderson implemented a document-based show cause process to determine whether the Application should be struck out pursuant to Rule 3.68. The Court determined that the Application had several potential issues. The Applicant had failed to provide a basis to show that decisions regarding his detention were illegal, and had challenged a decision to deny release where habeas corpus did not apply. Justice Henderson gave the Applicant 14 days to address these issues to prevent his Application from being struck out under Rule 3.68.
