Citation: 2003 FC 940

Vancouver, British Columbia, Thursday, the 31st day of July, 2003

Present:           THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CAMPBELL                                    

BETWEEN:

                                                    MARICELA RAMOS JAUREGUI

                                                                                                                                                       Applicant

                                                                              - and -

                                                  THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP

                                                              AND IMMIGRATION

                                                                                                                                                   Respondent

                                               REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER

[1]                 The present PRAA decision under review concerns a citizen of Mexico who has suffered extreme violence at the hand of her husband. The issue before the PRAA officer was whether an internal flight alternative is available to her somewhere in Mexico.


[2]                 In reaching a decision, I find that the PRAA officer was required to conduct a thorough analysis of the reality of the Applicant's situation. This reality includes an evaluation of the risk to the Applicant's life should her husband find her, such risk being relative to her husband's power and domination needs and the degree to which he is found to be compelled to exercise them.

[3]                 As the present decision does not include this required analysis, I find it is made in reviewable error.

                                                                            ORDER

Accordingly, I set aside the PRAA decision under review and refer the matter back for re-determination.
