Osgoode Hall’s blog, The Court, reported today that the case of Omar Khadr will be taken to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Law is Cool has previously done an entry and a podcast on the Khadr case.

The Federal Court of Appeal previously heard a case regarding Khadr case, Khadr v. Canada (Justice), 2007 FCA 182, in regards to materials of pertinence to his case.

The application was based on R. v. Stinchcombe, on the Crown’s obligation to provide information to defence counsel.

Despite these legal petititions, both counsel for Khadr and the President of the Canadian Bar Assocation have stated that the solution to this case is political, not legal in nature.
