Court headnote
Kovacs v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) Court (s) Database Federal Court Decisions Date 2001-09-04 Neutral citation 2001 FCT 986 File numbers IMM-4751-00 Decision Content Date: 20010904 Docket: IMM-4751-00 Neutral citation: 2001 FCT 986 BETWEEN: SANDOR KOVACS, SANDORNE KOVACS, MARIO KOVACS and DANIEL KOVACS, Applicants, - and - THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION, Respondent. REASONS FOR ORDER NADON J.: [1] This application for judicial review will be dismissed. [2] The Refugee Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board (the "Board"), by its decision dated July 10, 2000, concluded that the applicants were not Convention refugees. Specifically, the Board found not credible the applicants' story regarding the physical attacks made upon them by skinheads in the fall of 1998. In other words, the Board was of the view that these attacks had never taken place. [3] Since the applicants have not challenged the Board's credibility findings, I have no choice but to dismiss their application. [4] In closing, I should add that it is surprising that leave was granted to the applicants, as their application was clearly filed out of time and no explanation or justification for the delay was given.
