4. The Singh decision was a feud over a Indian refugee named

Satnam Singh he was seeking refugee status but Canada rejected
him.
The Immigration Act 1976 did not allow Satnam to state his case

in person or to appeal the governments decision on his case.
The supreme court said this violated section 7 of the charter of

Rights and Freedoms which states: Everyone has the right to
life, liberty and security of the person, and the right not to be
deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of
fundamental justice.
