MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC, THE 26TH DAY OF JUNE, 2001
Present: THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NADON
Between:
MOHAMMAD RAFAY BUTT
Applicant
AND
THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP
AND IMMIGRATION
Respondent
Application for leave and for judicial review of the decision of the Immigration and Refugee Board rendered September 27, 2000 by Mr. Michael Hamelin, a Board member, in docket MA0-00566 pursuant to section 82.1(2) of the Immigration Act.
ORDER AND REASONS FOR ORDER
NADON J.
[1] The application for judicial review is dismissed.
[2] The Refugee Division concluded, in light of the evidence and more particularly in light of the documentary evidence, that the applicant's fear of persecution was without foundation. The Division also expressed doubts about his credibility.
[3] In view of the absence of the applicant's counsel, I have not had the benefit of her oral submissions. However, I did consider the applicant's written submissions.
[4] Unfortunately for the applicant, I am not at all persuaded that the Division made any reviewable error.
