Granting of Judicial Review – In our case, Justice Beaudry of the Federal Court of Canada reviewed our application and granted our request.  However, in the Canadian federal court system, the individual justice that reviews a request is often not the particular justice that is on duty the week that the case is then called to be heard. Hence it was that Judge Campbell was the particular judge that ended up hearing the Special Sitting of the Federal Court in Edmonton on April 11th, 2005.  He chose to restrict his ruling to whether or not the IRB had acted correctly at the time of the original hearing in August of 2004, although it is disputed whether he was allowed to enter any of the additional evidence (a "Further Affidavit" and additional affidavits and evidence by third parties; see pp2 and 3 of the 'Granting of Leave') that Justice Beaudry had stipulated should be submitted by a date certain prior to the Special Sitting.
