What is the standard of fairness in a humanitarian and compassionate application?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Redman v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 1998 CanLII 8680 (FC):

In the circumstances of this case I am not satisfied that there was compliance with the requirements of procedural fairness. I come to this conclusion bearing in mind the minimal standard of fairness applicable to humanitarian and compassionate proceedings prescribed by Shah v. Minister of Employment and Immigration, A-617-92, per Hugessen J.A. (as he then was) June 24, 1994.
