Cc: ocean_hunter@live.com Well, ridiculous matters in New Hampshire were supported by some of the highest of wage earners, in this state and region, long before Mike Gill posted any billboards. The fifty million dollar settlement deal placed on to his attention, by many law firms and lawyers, so that he would close down his facebook page, is much more relevant. He never did allow some people to post on that Facebook page during that time frame and settlement deal that was offered to him. I was one of those people. That was most unfortunate for him because then he moved on to the billboard postings. What did that get him? The same attorneys involved in the settlement deal that he refused "sued" him. Defamation lawsuits? U.S. President Trump and the FBI?

'Our billboard now' - Men defamed by Michael Gill seize tools of their torment
From left, Dick Anagnost, Andy Crews and William Greiner’s are once again pictured on Michael’s Gill’s former electronic billboard on South Willow Street in Manchester. https://www.unionleader.com/news/crime/judge-orders-gill-jr-to-cooperate-in-quest-to-recover/article_2f408021-026d-5e2b-8348-ff945a1e592e.html Judge orders Gill Jr. to cooperate in quest to recover $274.5 million
 Michael Gill Sr. appears in Hillsborough County Superior Court in 2017. CONCORD — A bankruptcy judge has ordered the son of a former mortgage broker to cooperate with a trustee appointed to pursue a $274.5 million defamation judgment against Michael Gill Sr. over accusatory statements posted on electronic billboards.
U.S.
Bankruptcy Judge Michael Fagone issued a ruling last week ordering
Michael Gill Jr. to allow the trustee to recover documents and business
records pertaining to the Mortgage Specialists Inc. The company run by
Michael Gill Sr. was part of a lengthy court battle over billboard
messages that were found to be unsubstantiated.
Fagone
also ordered Michael Gill Jr. to be deposed by the trustee at a hearing
scheduled for Oct. 22. The judge overruled objections the younger Gill
filed in a court motion stating that his business, Nextgen Mortgage
Inc., is unaffiliated with his father’s company — despite using the same
office locations where the Mortgage Specialists operated in Manchester,
Plaistow and Amherst.
Dennis
Hogan, an attorney who represents Michael Gill Jr., said Monday that
his client has been cooperating with Fagone’s order and Michael
Askenaizer, the trustee appointed to the case in August.
“The
debtor has ignored these proceedings and has otherwise refused to
comply with any of this court’s orders,” according to a motion filed by
Askenaizer on Sept. 16.
Michael Gill Sr. has failed to answer summons or show up in court.
He
has managed to elude authorities and attempts to collect on the $274.5
million judgment a Merrimack County jury awarded in September 2017 to
AutoFair owner Andy Crews, Manchester developer Dick Anagnost and
Primary Bank founder William Greiner. The three men took Gill to court
over messages Gill posted on his billboards with unsubstantiated
allegations of drug trafficking, money-laundering and gun-running.
Although
the plaintiffs ultimately prevailed in Merrimack County Superior Court —
and again last summer when the New Hampshire Supreme Court denied
Gill’s appeal — they have been unable to collect on the damages.
Anagnost,
Crews and Greiner took the case to U.S. Bankruptcy Court in June and
although progress has been slow, they did receive a small victory last
week when Fagone overruled objections in a motion Hogan filed Sept. 23
on behalf of Gill Jr., attempting to block the trustee’s request for the
records and upcoming deposition.
“I would say that it is certainly progress and we will let the process play out,” Greiner said in an email Monday.
Hogan
argued in the motion that Gill Jr. was a non-party to the case, saying
Nextgen Mortgage was “completely separate” from his father’s business
despite operating out of the same facilities with some of the same
employees. Hogan argued that an audit conducted by the New Hampshire
Banking Association verified Nextgen is independent of Gill Sr.’s former
business.
Hogan said Monday
that Nextgen was in the process of consolidating its operations to a
single office in Nashua, where it has a lease that starts Tuesday. The
younger Gill hopes that the new location will help Nextgen distance
itself from any associations with the Mortgage Specialists.
Hogan also disputed an assertion by the trustee that Gill Jr. may have been using some of his father’s assets.
“We are complying with the judge’s order,” Hogan said. “The important thing is that Nextgen is an independent entity.”
Gill Jr. will appear for the deposition on Oct. 22, Hogan said. He is likely to be asked about his father’s whereabouts.

Why other parties are paying attention to Elizabeth May
Some polls suggest that the federal race for bronze is tightening
Jonathon Gatehouse · CBC News · Posted: Aug 09, 2019 4:00 AM ET
"Karl Bélanger, a former principal secretary to Mulcair and the
national director of the NDP, says he's not sure that the Greens pose
a real threat, as seat projections show them making a modest gain from
their current pair of MPs. But there is a danger in the growing
"narrative" in the media that has the two leftist parties competing
for third place, he said.
"I'd advise the NDP to keep Jagmeet Singh going after Justin Trudeau,
and let other people take on Elizabeth May," said Bélanger. "Because
the truth is that the Greens are getting votes from all political
parties, not just the NDP."

Broadbent Institute and Douglas-Coldwell Foundation launch reflection
on status of social democracy in Canada
on March 13, 2017
Posted by Broadbent Institute
OTTAWA — The Broadbent Institute and the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation
are partnering to convene a national discussion on social democracy in
Canada, on the occasion of our nation’s 150th birthday in 2017.
As the country looks to this milestone, Canadians will be reminded of
the role played by the thought and practice of social democracy in
fashioning much of what generations have held most dear about Canada,
whether it is public health care, protection of workers’ rights, or a
generous system of social provision.
“Social democracy transformed daily life in Canada and most other
advanced economies in the 20th century, as governments delivered
virtually full employment, rising wages and access to social programs
and public services. The result was much greater equality of both
condition and opportunity, enhanced security for all, and broadly
shared economic progress in a still market based economy,” said Ed
Broadbent, Chair of the Broadbent Institute.
“As we celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary, it is vitally important
to reflect on this historical experience, and to re-examine the
intellectual sources of social democratic achievement. An important
first step is to take a closer look at Canada’s rich progressive
traditions and their significant accomplishments for Canadians,”
stated Karl Bélanger, President of the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation.
The initiative is being launched with the publication of a discussion
paper, Reflections on the Social Democratic Tradition by the Broadbent
Institute’s Senior Policy Advisor, Andrew Jackson. The paper,
available here, provides a political history, overview and critical
evaluation of the social democratic project in Western politics - and
in Canada in particular - in this moment of upheaval, inequality and
decline in democracies around the globe.
Since the 1980s, the market-rhave been under attack. As David Frum has
pointed out, in launching
this attack Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan deliberately set out
to destroy social democracy.
“The result,” said Mr. Broadbent, “has been an increase in
environmental degradation, the financial crisis of 2008 and especially
the alarming increase in inequality - culminating in the rise of
right-wing populism.”
Reflections on the Social Democratic Tradition will set the stage for
the Broadbent Institute’s project Change the Game – an in-depth
reflection on not only what history teaches us, but on what might
constitute genuinely progressive policy advocacy in the months and
years ahead.

SNC-Lavalin lawyer Iacobucci urged to resign as Trudeau's Trans Mountain
envoy
By Alastair Sharp in News, Energy, Politics | March 5th 2019
'Not a shrinking violet'
The UBCIC's Wilson said Iacobucci would ideally step down from his
role leading the Trans Mountain expansion consultations, but should at
least choose to remove himself from one of the files.
“I think he’s embroiled in SNC and that he should stay over there but
step down from the Trans Mountain pipeline one,” she said. “I would
prefer him to step down from that one (the Trans Mountain pipeline)
but maybe the majority of Canadians would prefer him out of SNC, I
don’t know.”
“He made a mess over there, we don’t want him to make a mess over here.”
Wilson said the government's handling of both files showed a startling
lack of transparency.
“With SNC, we don’t know what was said to Minister Jody
Wilson-Raybould or in the thousands of lobby meetings between SNC and
the government," she said. "We also don’t know how Trans Mountain was
handled in the inner core of the prime minister’s office and the
various ministries involved, especially now that they are owners of
the pipeline.”
She pointed out the SNC-Lavalin could clearly benefit from
construction and engineering contracts if Trans Mountain gets built.
SNC-Lavalin employs about 9,000 people across Canada who work on
projects in a variety of sectors, including oil, gas and pipelines.
A spokesman for SNC-Lavalin declined to comment when asked about
Iacobucci's dual roles. Iacobucci didn't respond to a request for
comment.
In May 2018, Canada’s elections watchdog laid charges against a former
SNC executive, accusing him of orchestrating illegal federal political
donations the company made, mostly to Liberal groups, as well as to
Conservatives, more than a decade ago.
During an emergency debate about the SNC-Lavalin scandal on Feb. 28,
Green Party Leader Elizabeth May stood in the House of Commons to muse
about Iacobucci's role in two key files it is juggling.
"Frank Iacobucci is not a shrinking violet. He is playing an
interesting role here. I wonder if my friend finds it's curious in any
way that SNC-Lavalin's lawyer was the choice of the prime minister to
run the Indigenous consulations in the repairingconsultations on the
Kinder Morgan pipeline," she said, during an
exchange in the Commons with Conservative MP Michael Barrett, who
represents the Ontario riding of Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands.
"And he is still playing that role, while he is also SNC-Lavalin's
lawyer."
Barrett responded by saying that nothing surprises him at this point.

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
I.
Introduction
[1]
On September 16, 2015, David Raymond
Amos (Mr. Amos) filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million in
damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial Premiers
for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary properties and seeks a
declaration from the Minister of Public Safety that the Canadian Government
will no longer allow the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian
Forces to harass him and his clan (Claim at para. 96).
[2]
On November 12, 2015 (Docket
T-1557-15), by way of a motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the
Federal Court (the Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without
leave to amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, and the
Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the Prothontary’s
Order).
[3]
On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by
way of Mr. Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. Amos’
claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages for being barred
by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 (the Federal Court
Judgment).
[4]
Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown
cross-appealed the Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice
of Status Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19,
2016. As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s cross-appeal.
II.
Preliminary
Matter
[5]
Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact
and law in relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of the
judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. This was the
first time that he identified the judges whom he believed had a conflict of
interest in a document that was filed with this Court. In his notice of appeal
he had alluded to a conflict with several judges but did not name those judges.
[6]
Mr. Amos was of the view that he did
not have to identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because
he had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed with the
Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal
are the same court and therefore any document filed in the Federal Court would
be filed in this Court. This view is based on subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of
the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. F-7:
5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or
her office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal.
[…]
|
5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la
Cour d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
[…]
|
5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue
of that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the jurisdiction,
power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
|
5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges
de la Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
juges de la Cour fédérale.
|
[7]
However, these subsections only
provide that the judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and
vice versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the
Federal Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
section.
3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the
Federal Court — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is continued as
an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the
better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record
having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
|
3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la
Cour d’appel fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue à
titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du Canada,
propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue d’être une cour
supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et pénale.
|
4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the
Federal Court — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an additional court
of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for the better administration
of the laws of Canada and as a superior court of record having civil and
criminal jurisdiction.
|
4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la
Section de première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et continue
d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en matière civile et
pénale.
|
[9]
Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal
Courts Act create two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the
Federal Court (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the
Federal Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by Rules 343
to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation to any appeal
from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to file an appeal book
with this Court in relation to an appeal from a decision of the Federal Court
makes it clear that the only documents that will be before this Court are the
documents that are part of that appeal book.
[10]
Therefore, the memorandum of fact
and law filed on March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in
which Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a conflict
in any matter related to him.
[11]
On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted
to bring a motion before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or
denying the conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if Mr. Amos
was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal Court of Appeal, it
was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. Mr. Amos raised the Federal
Court motion at the hearing of this cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is
not a motion before this Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the
Federal Court will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in relation
to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
[12]
During the hearing of the appeal Mr.
Amos alleged that the third member of this panel also had a conflict of
interest and submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of
a conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also afforded
the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict that he was alleging
and to file additional documents that, in his view, supported his allegations.
Mr. Amos submitted several pages of documents in relation to the alleged
conflicts. He organized the documents by submitting a copy of the biography of
the particular judge and then, immediately following that biography, by
including copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
such judge had a conflict.
[13]
The nature of the alleged conflict
of Justice Webb is that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of
Canada in 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he had a
number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and therefore
Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner of these firms. Mr.
Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was personally involved in or had any
knowledge of any matter in which Mr. Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s
former law firm – only that he was a member of such firm.
[14]
During his oral submissions at the
hearing of his appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice
Webb, focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at Patterson
Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at the hearing or
subsequently related to any dealings with this particular lawyer nor is it
clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this lawyer. In particular, it is far from
clear whether such dealings were after the time that Justice Webb was appointed
as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
[15]
The documents that he submitted in
relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings
between Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between Mr. Amos
and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May who was a partner
in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The affidavit is dated January
24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails that were sent by Mr. Amos to
Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a letter that is addressed to four individuals,
one of whom is John Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of
Patterson Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to “John
Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, Fredericton, NB E3B
5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a possible lawsuit against Patterson
Palmer.
[16]
Mr. Amos’ position is that simply
because Justice Webb was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict.
In Wewaykum Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2
S.C.R. 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a judge
is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable apprehension of
bias:
60
In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the criterion for disqualification.
The criterion, as expressed by de Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and
Liberty v. National Energy Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d)
716], at p. 394, is the reasonable apprehension of bias:
… the apprehension of bias must be a
reasonable one, held by reasonable and right minded persons, applying
themselves to the question and obtaining thereon the required information. In
the words of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed
person, viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought
the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely than not
that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or unconsciously, would not
decide fairly."
[17]
The issue to be determined is whether
an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and
having thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has previously
remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will administer justice
impartially” and this presumption will not be rebutted in the absence of “convincing
evidence” of bias (Collins v. Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4
C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R.
484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. (4th) 193).
[18]
The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando
Drugs Ltd. v. Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to
the Supreme Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a case simply
because he had been a member of a law firm that was involved in the litigation
that was now before that judge. The Ontario Court of Appeal determined that the
judge was not disqualified if the judge had no involvement with the person or
the matter when he was a lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained
that the rules for determining whether a judge is disqualified are different
from the rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
27
Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a finding that a trial
judge has had some involvement in a case over which he or she is now presiding.
Where the judge had no involvement, as here, it cannot be said that the
judge is disqualified.
28
The point can rightly be made that
had Mr. Patterson been asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his
appointment to the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him
from taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the
defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial judge
Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the Court of
Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield Properties Ltd.,
[2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that there is no inflexible rule
governing the disqualification of a judge and that, "[e]verything depends
on the circumstances."
29
It seems to me that what appears at
first sight to be an inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by
the different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of judicial
impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification of a judge. There
is no such presumption in cases of allegations of conflict of interest against
a lawyer because of a firm's previous involvement in the case. To the contrary,
as explained by Sopinka J. in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77
D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a
disqualifying interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential information about
the case will never be sufficient. The case is the opposite where the allegation
of bias is made against a trial judge. His or her statement that he or she knew
nothing about the case and had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted
at face value unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at
para. 19.
30
That brings me then to consider the
particular circumstances of this case and whether there are serious grounds to
find a disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are
two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to recuse
himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, that he knew
nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and that he had nothing to
do with it. The second is the long passage of time. As was said in Wewaykum,
at para. 85:
To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform the perspective of
the reasonable person assessing the impact of this involvement on Binnie J.'s
impartiality in the appeals. That factor is the passage of time. Most arguments
for disqualification rest on circumstances that are either contemporaneous to
the decision-making, or that occurred within a short time prior to the
decision-making.
31
There are other factors that inform
the issue. The Wilson Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the
time of trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had
been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with his former
firm for a considerable period of time.
32
In my view, a reasonable person,
viewing the matter realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal
fairly and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because of
the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement in or
knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. In these
circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the trial judge could not
remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that his name appears on the
letterhead of some correspondence from over a decade ago would not lead a
reasonable person to believe that he would either consciously or unconsciously
favour his former firm's former client. It is simply not realistic to think
that a judge would throw off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of
office and favour a client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he
left six years earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case
involving events from over a decade ago.
(emphasis added)
[19]
Justice Webb had no involvement with
any matter involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it clear
during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the alleged conflict
for Justice Webb was that he was a member of Patterson Law and Patterson
Palmer. This is simply not enough for Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any
involvement of Mr. Amos with Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of
that firm would have had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the
time when he was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had with
Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is sufficient to
dispose of this matter), the length of time since Justice Webb was a member of
Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would also result in the same finding – that
there is no conflict in Justice Webb hearing this appeal.
[20]
Similarly in R. v. Bagot,
2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that
there was no reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a
member of the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement
with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
[21]
In Del Zotto v. Minister of
National Revenue, [2000] 4 F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that
there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he
was a lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who was
before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as Justice Webb did
not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. Amos while he was a
lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
[22]
Mr. Amos also included with his
submissions a CD. He stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is
a “true copy of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this
CD. He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD entitled
139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities and not one of
the police forces or officers of the court are willing to investigate it”.
Since he has indicated that this is an “American police surveillance wiretap”,
this is a matter for the American law enforcement authorities and cannot
create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a conflict of interest for any judge to whom he
provides a copy.
[23]
As a result, there is no conflict or
reasonable apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for
him to recuse himself.
[24]
Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s
past professional experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in
deciding the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the Claim.
Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
[25]
Insofar as it is possible to glean
the basis for Mr. Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he
alleges that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote a
letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, both Justice
Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The
letter in question, which is rude and angry, begins with “Hey you two Evil Old
Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing you and your little dogs too”. There is no
indication that the letter was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever
commenced by Mr. Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no
reason for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does not
give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
III.
Issue
[26]
The issue on the cross-appeal is as
follows: Did the Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking
the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in
2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
IV.
Analysis
A.
Standard of Review
[27]
Following the Judge’s decision to
set aside the Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review
to be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions made
by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira Healthcare
Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, 402 D.L.R. (4th)
497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of this Court
replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that articulated in Housen
v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 [Housen]. As a
result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal Court to conduct a de
novo review of a discretionary order made by a prothonotary in regard to
questions vital to the final issue of the case. Rather, a Federal Court judge
can only intervene on appeal if the prothonotary made an error of law or a
palpable and overriding error in determining a question of fact or question of
mixed fact and law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only
interfere with a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary
order if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in determining
a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law (Hospira at paras.
82-83).
[28]
In the case at bar, the Judge
substituted his own assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary.
This Court must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to interfere.
B.
Did the Judge err in interfering
with the Prothonotary’s Order?
[29]
The Prothontoary’s Order accepted
the following paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking
the Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
17.
Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff addresses his
complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four of those paragraphs are
dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 in and around the legislature in
New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of the Federal Court does not extend to Her
Majesty the Queen in right of the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t
named the Province or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident
alleged does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
(…)
21.
The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant provide no details as to
the individuals involved or the location of the alleged incidents or other
details sufficient to allow the Defendant to respond. As a result, it is
difficult or impossible to determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is
attempting to advance. A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the
Defendant to only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he suspects he is
barred from the House of Commons.
[footnotes omitted].
[30]
The Judge determined that he could
not strike the Claim on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The
Judge noted that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors who
barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 included the RCMP
(Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering the viability of these
allegations de novo, the Judge identified paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing
“some precision” as it identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer
acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
para. 27).
[31]
The Judge noted that the 2004 event
could support a cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
[13]
As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC 69 [Odhavji]
and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must determine
whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each element of the alleged
tort of misfeasance in public office:
a) The public officer must have
engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct in his or her capacity as public
officer;
b) The public officer must have been
aware both that his or her conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm
the plaintiff; and
c) There must be an element of bad
faith or dishonesty by the public officer and knowledge of harm alone is
insufficient to conclude that a public officer acted in bad faith or
dishonestly.
Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
(Federal Court Judgment at para.
28).
[32]
The Judge determined that Mr. Amos
disclosed sufficient material facts to meet the elements of the tort of
misfeasance in public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for “political
reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
[33]
This Court’s discussion of the
sufficiency of pleadings in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency),
2010 FCA 184, 321 D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
…When pleading bad faith or abuse of
power, it is not enough to assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as
“deliberately or negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did
steal”. “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called upon
to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, conclusory
allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse of process…
To this, I would add that the tort
of misfeasance in public office requires a particular state of mind of a public
officer in carrying out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct
which the public officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his
or her office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of allegations of
“breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of a person,” “malice” or
“fraudulent intention.”
(at paras. 34-35, citations
omitted).
[34]
Applying the Housen standard
of review to the Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge
interfered absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
[35]
The Prothonotary determined that Mr.
Amos’ Claim disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on
the basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts
to ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses the
2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer engaged in
deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her conduct was unlawful and
likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad faith. While the Claim alleges
elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from the New Brunswick legislature for
political and/or malicious reasons, these allegations are not particularized
and are directed against non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As
such, the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting
a cause of action.
[36]
In our view, the Claim is made up
entirely of bare allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts.
Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the Prothonotary’s Order
striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we find that the Prothonotary made
no error in denying leave to amend. The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are
so extensive such that amendment could not cure them (see Collins at
para. 26).
V.
Conclusion
[37]
For the foregoing reasons, we would
allow the Crown’s cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court
Judgment, dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated
November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety without leave
to amend.
