Citation: 2004 FC 476

Toronto, Ontario, March 26th, 2004                                      

Present:           The Honourable Mr. Justice Campbell                                

BETWEEN:

                                        VARATHARAJAH SUNTHARAMOORTHY

                                                                                                                                            Applicant

                                                                           and

                           THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION

                                                                                                                                        Respondent

                                            REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER

[1]                In the present case, the cardinal finding by the Board is that, due to perceived inconsistencies in the evidence, the Applicant failed to prove his identity. Indeed, the finding made is used to support the opinion that the Applicant is not credible.

[2]                I am satisfied that the identity finding cannot be sustained on the record. As a result, I find the Board's decision was made in reviewable error.


                                                                       ORDER

Accordingly, I set aside the Board's decision and refer this matter to a differently constituted panel for redetermination.

"Douglas R. Campbell"

                                                                                                                                                   J.F.C.
