Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The applicant requested a certificate of good conduct and morals, but he had several contravention reports based on complaints and was also under criminal investigation for child abduction and disobedience to authorities. The authority refused the certificate, and the decision was upheld because the applicant did not satisfy the character requirements.

Omnilex headnote

LCBVM art. 10; certificate of good conduct and morals may be refused where the applicant is the subject of multiple contravention reports following complaints and is still under criminal investigation for serious offences. The competent authority may take pending proceedings into account in assessing whether the requisite moral standing is established; such circumstances are incompatible with entitlement to the certificate (consid. implicit).

Celui contre qui 6 rapports de contraventions à la suite de plaintes, ont été établis et une procédure est à l'instruction, (enlèvement de mineurs, insoumission aux actes de l'autorité) ne saurait prétendre à l'obtention d'un CBVM.

Key legal question

Whether a person facing multiple contravention reports and ongoing criminal proceedings is entitled to a certificate of good conduct and morals.

Extracted holding

No. The pending reports and criminal investigation were incompatible with the required good conduct.

Extracted reasoning

Six to seven contravention reports had been drawn up following complaints, and further proceedings were still under investigation; this prevented the applicant from claiming the certificate.
