Docket: T-1619-00

Ottawa, Ontario, NOVEMBER 10, 2000

BEFORE:        NADON J.

BETWEEN:                                        Daniel Jolivet

Plaintiff

AND:

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA

- and -

CORRECTIONAL SERVICE CANADA

Defendants

Motion by the plaintiff seeking an order for an interlocutory injunction directing the defendant CORRECTIONAL CENTRE OF CANADA to transfer the plaintiff forthwith from the Port Cartier Penitentiary to the Regional Reception Centre or the Macaza or Drummondville Penitentiaries, where the plaintiff was until August 2000, pending a decision in the instant case.

[Rules 364 and 373 et seq. of the Federal Court Rules (1998)]

ORDER AND REASONS


The motion is dismissed. The plaintiff did not persuade the Court that he would suffer irreparable harm if I did not grant his motion. The evidence in particular is the fact that since his arrival at Port Cartier the plaintiff has not asked the penitentiary authorities for protection against his alleged antagonists. The plaintiff could have asked to be placed in administrative segregation but did not do so, preferring to work in the laundry, which had the effect of putting him in contact with the general population. For these reasons, I cannot allow the plaintiff's motion.
