What are some of the most recent decisions on habeas corpus in Canada?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wang v. Canada, 2018 ONCA 798 (CanLII):
I begin with the decision in May v. Ferndale Institution, 2005 SCC 82 (CanLII), [2005] 3 S.C.R. 809. While May involved a challenge by federal inmates to the reclassification of their security level within the federal penitentiary system, and was thus factually distinct from the situation here, the importance of the decision for current purposes lies in its review of the history and principles surrounding habeas corpus.
