In most cases, IRCC avoids the court (Unless the plaintiff has a skeleton in her closet). They know they had the duty toward the applicant and they breached it by not processing in timely manner. If the wrong doing of IRCC is proven in the court, it opens more venue for lawyer to bring up more lawsuits against IRCC. And that why IRCC avoids the court and the most cases suddenly finalized before court date.
We don’t have a case here - IRCC has been repeatedly saying the “12 month processing time” is not a promise, but an “average “, and 80% of applicants are done within that 15 month of waiting can easily be averaged down by someone’s 6 month processing time - I think that’s also why his lawyer still hasn’t really bring anything to the court and only called the IRCC, because he knows he won’t have a case and would be waste of time to go to court

In several cases, Judges did not accept the logic behind 80%-20% and considered the processing time as shown on IRCC website. However, it is not written in stone how much time is considered excessive which depends on the judge who reviews the case. That's why in most cases people waited 3 years before going forward with writ of mandamus.
