International Child Abduction: Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!

Welcome to “Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!”

In this episode, Kyla Lee from Acumen Law Corporation examines a case involving international child abduction, refugee claims, and the Hague Convention. Under the Hague Convention, children who are wrongfully removed from one country to another are generally expected to be returned to their home jurisdiction. But this case raised a far more complicated question: what happens when a parent brings a child to Canada and then files a refugee claim on the basis that returning would expose them or the child to danger or persecution?

CBC News: B.C. taxpayers have spent $300,000 to fly prisoners on private planes to and from court

B.C. taxpayers have spent nearly $300,000 in the last five months to fly inmates to and from court in rural and remote parts of the province.

Since December 2025, the B.C. Sheriff Service has chartered 31 flights to transport people accused of crimes back and forth from the detention centre where they’re being held and the courthouse where they’re being tried, according to figures provided to CBC News by the Ministry of Attorney General. 

That figure is drawing criticism from some Crown prosecutors and defence lawyers, and the Official Opposition.

Unreasonable Delay: Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!

Welcome to “Cases That Should Have Gone to the Supreme Court of Canada, But Didn’t!”

In this episode, Kyla Lee from Acumen Law Corporation examines another case dealing with unreasonable delay and the ongoing challenges in applying the Jordan framework. The accused was initially successful in arguing that their right to be tried within a reasonable time had been violated at the provincial court level. However, that decision was overturned on appeal. The case turned on how delay was apportioned between the Crown and the defence, and whether courts can rely on speculative reasoning about what could have happened to move a case along more quickly.
