Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Laliberte v. Canada, 2004 FC 1524 (CanLII):
In arriving at this conclusion, I have taken into account the hardship or injustice which the respondent may suffer, but with respect for the contrary view I feel that the balance of convenience is in the applicant's favour (Swift v. Canada, 2001 FCT 1388, [2001] F.C.J. No. 1909 (F.C.T.D.) (QL)).
