Summary: Mr. Turner sued the Attorney General of Canada alleging negligent supervision of Mr. Turner’s parole suspension by Correctional Services Canada (CSC). The Attorney General applied for summary judgment. The chambers judge granted summary judgment and dismissed Mr. Turner’s claim.
Issue: Did the chambers judge err in granting summary judgment to dismiss Mr. Turner’s claim?
