"In Extremely Rare Occurence Court Moves to Rehear Case of Canadian Rendition Victim Maher Arar; Court Acted Sua Sponte, Deciding to Revisit June Decision Against Arar Before Being Asked"

ADVERTISEMENTS

"In Extremely Rare Occurence Court Moves to Rehear Case of Canadian Rendition Victim Maher Arar; Court Acted Sua Sponte, Deciding to Revisit June Decision Against Arar Before Being Asked": The Center for Constitutional Rights today has issued a press release that begins, "The Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued an extremely rare order that the case of Canadian rendition victim Maher Arar would be heard en banc by all of the active judges on the Second Circuit on December 9, 2008. For the court to issue the order sua sponte, that is, of its own accord without either party submitting papers requesting a rehearing, is even more rare."

You can access at this link Tuesday's order of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granting rehearing en banc.

My earlier coverage of the three-judge panel's ruling in the case, from late June 2008, can be accessed here and here.
