The precise nature of the legal question in this case is unclear. The majority judgement pursues the question of whether the Chinese Immigration Act prevented Canadian Citizens from entering Canada in some circumstances, which they conclude that the Act lacks the specific statutory language that would enable such a circumstance. The concurring opinion instead asks whether or not appeals of habeas corpus from the Controller of Chinese Immigration are hearable by the courts of British Columbia, which Crocket J concludes they are.
