加拿大難民程式/RPD 規則 49-52 - 申請
規則 49 的文字如下
Applications General General provision 49 Unless these Rules provide otherwise, (a) a party who wants the Division to make a decision on any matter in a proceeding, including the procedure to be followed, must make an application to the Division in accordance with rule 50; (b) a party who wants to respond to the application must respond in accordance with rule 51; and (c) a party who wants to reply to a response must reply in accordance with rule 52.
規則 50(4)、51(2) 和 52(2) 允許一方將證據附在申請、回應或回應回覆上,但這並不構成是否接受此類證據的法律框架。它僅僅提供了提供此類證據的過程和程式。相反,決定是否接受此類證據的規則是規則 35(如果證據至少在聽證日期前 10 天提供)、規則 36(如果證據在聽證日期前 10 天內提供)或規則 43(如果證據在聽證後提供)。
正如 Lorne Waldman 在他的文章中所述,“在所有檔案都由各方收到後,難民保護司可以下令對申請進行聽證,或者在認為不會造成不公正的情況下,可以在沒有聽證的情況下處理此事。”[1] 規則中關於舉行此類聽證的框架是規則 24 關於案件會議的規定:加拿大難民程式/會議#規則 24 - 會議.
