1 Jaffe, then an American citizen, had been released on bail in Florida while charges of land sale fraud had been pending against him. He had returned to Canada, his residence since 1970, and had then obtained Canadian naturalization. Afterwards he had failed to appear in person before the Florida court on two separate occasions, although represented by counsel, and the court had issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
