Lawyer challenging B.C. COVID-19 orders says class action could result in 3 million claims
Advocacy group says lawsuit would seek damages on behalf of all adults in British Columbia
Polina Furtula told B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Crerar Tuesday the Canadian Society for the Advancement of Science in Public Policy would seek both a lump sum to punish the province for breaching charter rights and specific amounts tailored to damages alleged by individuals.
"Potentially, there would be three million individualized trials?" the judge asked.
"Potentially," Furtula responded. "But of course, that doesn't mean there would have to be actual trials. There's ways that this can be achieved that are practical."
'Punishing a whole group'
The exchange came on the second day of a week-long proceeding in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver to determine the future of the proposed class action lawsuit.
The CSASPP's website says the group is a "non-profit, non-partisan, secular, crowd-funded, and volunteer-driven organization that was created in response to popular community demand for a direct action initiative to counter B.C.'s COVID-19 related measures."

exemption. (Ben Nelms/CBC)
According to their notice of claim, the group believes Dr. Bonnie Henry and the province "invoked extraordinary executive powers predicated on unsubstantiated scientific and legal grounds with catastrophic consequences for British Columbians."
"The [Public Health Act] orders do not discriminate between the sick and the healthy, collectively punishing a whole group," the claim reads.
"The reality is that either all or some of the ministerial orders were not necessary to 'prevent, respond or alleviate' the effects of COVID-19 to the population of British Columbia."
The proposed claim says the measures violated a variety of rights guaranteed to Canadians under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The CSASPP is seeking certification of a class action lawsuit on behalf of all adults residing or doing business in the province who have suffered injury or damages as a result of public health orders issued after March 17, 2020.
'Angry, depressed, lonely and isolated'
The hearing was well attended by supporters of the CSASPP — which put a call on its website for people to "join us at this historic public hearing."
If certified, Furtula said the suit would have three subclasses: 328,000 people who saw medical procedures delayed or cancelled, 376,752 people who were not double-vaccinated and did not get exemptions and 37,000 people who weren't vaccinated for religious reasons.

certification hearing in B.C. Supreme Court this week. (Canadian Society for the Advancement of Science in Public Policy)
The lawyer read portions from a number of affidavits that spoke to the wide range of complaints from people hoping to be part of the lawsuit.
In one, a single mother who was diagnosed with lung cancer during the pandemic complained that she was unable to get a second dose of vaccine in the 21-day period recommended by the manufacturer.
In another, the mother of a child whose classmate tested positive for COVID-19 was upset that her family was told to quarantine despite the fact they all tested negative for the virus.
And in another, the "angry, depressed, lonely and isolated" head of a technology company said he was shunned because he was unvaccinated and unmasked — unable to participate in group activities or meet potential romantic partners.
'There has to be a coherent plan'
Crerar doesn't have to decide the merits of the case, but he has to determine if the lawsuit meets the requirements needed for a class action — which include common issues, an identifiable class of people and an appropriate person to represent the class.
The judge also has to decide whether a class action lawsuit is the proper way to resolve the dispute.

In his exchange with Furtula, he pointed out how varied the possible claims are — ranging from people who were upset they couldn't get vaccinated fast enough to people who didn't want to get vaccinated at all.
He asked the lawyer for other examples of class action lawsuits which have been brought about based on alleged charter breaches or in relation to COVID restrictions.
Furtula pointed to a lawsuit in the United States where members of the military are challenging mandatory vaccination.
While helpful, the judge said that proceeding was an example of a single-issue complaint where everyone is "rowing in the same direction."
"I get your point, that you're saying these orders are no good, they're imprecise, they're not tailored, they're irrational, they're not consistent," he told Fortula.
"But in terms of implementing how the trial is going to unfold, and how if you're successful at trial, damages are going to be awarded, et cetera, there has to be a coherent plan for the logistics of that and addressing potential internal contradictions."
The Crown will make its case later this week.
In a response filed with the court, the government denies the claim, saying the health orders were made in accordance with "national and international surveillance data" as well as "local, national and international epidemiological data."
"The overriding concern is to ensure that [Public Health Act] orders and other public health guidance protect the most vulnerable members of the society while minimizing social disruption," the response says.
The province says the CSASPP has failed to meet the requirements to certify a class action lawsuit on all fronts.
And the Crown also says that any breaches of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms are allowed under Section 1 of the Charter, which allows governments to put limits on rights and freedoms so long as those limits can be shown to be reasonable in a free and democratic society.

To: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail. David: The hospitals here are not full of covid patients, they are full of folks suffering difficulty (side effects) from the so-called vaccines, but when they die from taking the shot their death is attributed to covid. You have to realize 2 things. When you currently get sick with just about anything, you are shoved in a room, put on a ventilator, and pretty well ignored (left alone to either live, or die). No one has been properly trained in the application of antiviral medication, nor are there adequate supplies, in hospitals, of such medicines. This is pretty well universal all across Canada making many of the trips to our hospitals one way trips. The last place you want to be at the moment, even if sick, is in a hospital. ---------- Original message ---------- From: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail.

Specifically, they were asked about the mayor of Pouce Coupe’s doubts that Intensive Care Units were overrun, and about Dawson Creek Mayor Dale Bumstead’s recent comments about being pro-choice regarding vaccination. “I’d just say that our healthcare workers deserve better than leaders suggesting that they’re not dealing with what has been an unbelievable pressure in our ICUs from people sick with COVID-19. It is a very challenging time,” said Dix. The Health Minister went on to clarify that he had discussed the importance of vaccination many times with Bumstead, and that Bumstead has been in support of vaccines from the start. “Mayor Bumstead has consistently supported vaccination. I’ve talked to him multiple times; we’re working together to see vaccination rates increase in Dawson Creek,” said Dix, adding that he hoped some municipal competition between Dawson Creek and Fort St. John would help raise vaccination numbers higher."

(Sam Martin CBC) The city of Dawson Creek, B.C., home to about 12,000 people near the B.C.-Alberta border, has removed a previously published portion of a recent city council meeting video after it began circulating in COVID-19 disinformation groups worldwide. The incident illustrates why everyone — including small communities — needs to think more deeply about who they give a platform to, says Ahmed Al-Rawi, an assistant professor at Simon Fraser University who specializes in disinformation. The portion of the video that was removed featured several speakers at a Sept. 2 council meeting making false or misleading statements about COVID-19 vaccines and their effectiveness. The speakers arrived at city hall ahead of the meeting to protest the B.C. government's recent announcement of a vaccine card program, which limits access to non-essential recreational and social activities to people who can provide proof of vaccination. The meeting was called to clarify how the program would impact city facilities such as the pool and curling rink, said Mayor Dale Bumstead — not to debate the merits of the vaccine card or vaccination itself. But outside city hall, about 100 people angry about the vaccine card held placards and demanded a chance to speak. A Facebook livestream broadcast from Sept. 2 showcases people gathered outside the Dawson Creek city hall to protest the province's vaccine card program. (Facebook) Council decided to let some of them make short presentations ahead of the regular meeting. Bumstead said it was not an effort to endorse their ideas, but to allow them to be heard as members of the community he was elected to represent. "We had no way to verify or even identify some of the information and people speaking, because it was spur-of-the-moment," he said in an interview with CBC. False comparisons to the Holocaust Things didn't get off to a smooth start. Before the meeting, police were called to respond to several protesters who refused to wear a mask inside council chambers, a requirement under public health guidelines. In a video live-streamed to Facebook by one of the protesters, police can be seen escorting one man away as another begins yelling, "Brownshirts!" Later, members of the crowd joined in, calling RCMP "Nazis" and "Gestapo." The video has prompted condemnation from both B.C. Premier John Horgan and the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, headquartered in Toronto, which said the comparison of B.C.'s public health policy to "the systematic identification, humiliation, persecution and murder of Jews and millions of others is absurd, dangerous and disrespectful." Inside council chambers, several presenters made similar arguments, comparing B.C.'s voluntary vaccine card to 1930s Germany and sharing false information about the safety and efficacy of vaccines. Since then, one of those presentations has been circulated on multiple social media platforms by anti-vaccination groups, racking up tens of thousands of views. The presentation in question was made by a woman who, in local small business listings, identifies herself as the owner of an "alternative clinic" that uses "energy healing" and "psychic readings," along with herbal teas and essential oils, to help clients. While presenting to council, she said she was a "molecular biologist," without specifying her credentials. She falsely called the vaccines a "genetic experiment" with a high fatality rate, when the reality is they are the result of years of research and have been safely distributed to millions of people worldwide after passing multiple clinical trials. Busting myths about vaccination — and why experts say it's essential to our return to normal At the end of the presentation, the mayor thanked the woman for her time, and she thanked him for hearing her out. And that, thought Bumstead, was the end of it. Council later voted to follow public health guidelines and adjourned. Afterwards, city staff did what they do with every meeting: they uploaded it to the city's YouTube page, where the woman's presentation took on a life of its own. Exploiting 'a fake expert' At first, people just shared a direct link to the entire council meeting. But before long, some users started extracting the woman's presentation and sharing it on its own. One YouTube user with more than 21,000 subscribers clipped her speech and uploaded it to their channel, where it has racked up more than 200,000 views. The video has also been posted to Twitter, TikTok and Facebook, as well as to alternative sites popular among anti-vaccine users. In most posts, the woman is referred to as a molecular biologist, while in some she is wrongly identified as a doctor. Few mention her true profession as a natural healer and psychic. Disinformation expert Ahmed Al-Rawi said this is a common technique among anti-vaccine groups — inflating or inventing the credentials of people speaking out against public health measures in an effort to give their viewpoints a false sense of credibility. "They bring in a fake expert who will provide contrary evidence to what the scientific consensus is to cast doubt on the validity of public health policies," he said. One portion of the Dawson Creek city council meeting spreading COVID-19 disinformation has been viewed more than 200,000 times on YouTube, and has also been posted on Facebook, Twitter and TikTok. (YouTube) Al-Rawi compared the technique to past efforts to undermine consensus science surrounding climate change or the dangers of smoking. People can search the internet for videos like the Dawson Creek council meeting that can be re-purposed to serve their needs. "They cherry-pick information … in order to convince others that they are right." Al-Rawi said the presence of the video on the city's official website lent it additional credibility, as did the appearance of Dawson Creek's logo and the fact that the presenter was speaking inside council chambers. Without context around why she was being allowed to speak, he said, the setting added a sense of legitimacy to what she was saying, no matter how incorrect the content. No more impromptu sessions As the number of views of the video increased, so did scrutiny of Dawson Creek's council for giving anti-vaccine protesters a platform to speak in the first place. Bumstead said staff at city hall were inundated with calls from people across North America about the video, some pleased with what they had seen, others upset the city had allowed false assertions to be broadcast unchecked. After several weeks, Coun. Shaely Wilbur issued a public apology on her Facebook page. "I am from the core of my being disturbed that if in any way I have allowed misinformation to be taken as fact and distributed through social media via a delegation to council," she wrote, and encouraged residents to get vaccinated. 'Misinformation can kill people': Friends and family grieve loss of loved ones who refused COVID vaccines How the spread of COVID-19 misinformation is undermining trust in public health Likewise, Bumstead said he was upset by the "turmoil" the video had caused, and last week the decision was made to remove all the impromptu speakers' videos from the city's YouTube page. The official reason, Bumstead said, was that none of the speakers had properly applied to give their presentations to council, nor had they been properly vetted or identified in advance, so ultimately they are not considered part of the official meeting. But other videos out of the city's control are still circulating, which illustrates why officials need to think more deeply about who they give a platform to, said Al-Rawi. In years past, he said, council meetings were seen only by those able to attend in person. Now they can be recorded, edited and redistributed for millions worldwide. "[Local governments] have to be more literate about how to deal with these issues." For his part, Bumstead said he still believes in listening to people with differing opinions, but the whole episode has left him "disappointed and hurt." Moving forward, he said he will not consider allowing impromptu presentations from members of the public, no matter the topic. "We were trying to be lenient," he said. "But it just created a huge amount of extra work."

First Nation leaders from across Canada are in the New Brunswick capital for the three-day event, a chance to discuss Indigenous issues and the challenges facing Canada and its relationship with First Nations. Chief Elaine Johnston of Serpent River First Nation in Ontario was among the droves of delegates who arrived and registered for the conference Monday. "It's an opportunity for all the First Nation leaders to network and also talk about the future directions that we'd like to work on," Johnston said. She said she's keen to discuss how newly passed federal legislation to overhaul the Indigenous child welfare system, known as Bill C-92, will affect her community. An exchange of water ceremony took place early Tuesday morning in Fredericton. (Catherine Harrop/CBC) The oft-criticized legislation is listed among the issues for the afternoon discussion and resolutions session. The assembly will also discuss the environment and climate change; housing, water and emergency management; and the new Indigenous languages legislation, among other topics. Indigenous people don't want to be excluded from snow crab fishery, national chief says A pipe ceremony at 6 a.m. AT on St. Mary's First Nation opened the general assembly, followed by an exchange of water ceremony, where six participants travelled by canoe along the St. John River to give thanks to the body of water. About 60 people, including chiefs and members of the public, were in attendance. This week's annual general assembly of the Assembly of First Nations in Fredericton was marked by a flag raising ceremony at city hall on Monday. The flag for the traditional Wolastoqey territory was raised. (Ed Hunter/CBC) The opening ceremonies and official welcome will run from 9 to 11 a.m. at the Fredericton Convention Centre, home to most of the proceedings. Carolyn Bennett, minister of Crown-Indigenous relations and northern affairs, will address the assembly at 1 p.m. before the discussion session begins.

(Ed Hunter/CBC) On the day before the Assembly of First Nations' annual general assembly officially was set to begin in Fredericton, the chief of St. Mary's First Nation was busy rallying support to keep his name on the agenda amid a sexual-assault charge. The lawyer for Chief Allan "Chicky" Polchies said his client was removed from the opening ceremonies by the First Nations Assembly executive council because of their zero tolerance policy toward sexual assault allegations. Polchies is facing one count of sexual assault and one count of assault, both alleged to have taken place in Fredericton around March 2. CBC News could not confirm whether Polchies's involvement in the three-day event has been diminished in light of the charges. The assembly did not respond to an interview request. St. Mary's First Nation chief faces charges of assault, sexual assault Polchies, who met with fellow chiefs from New Brunswick on Monday, issued a statement saying he will go through the post-charge diversion program. If completed, the diversion program allows charges to be withdrawn. "An allegation has been made against me by a member of our community which I would normally take to court to prove my innocence due to my belief of the lack of evidence required to obtain a conviction," Polchies said in the statement. "However, the offer of post charge diversion was made to me by the Crown Prosecutor's office which I have fully accepted." The adult diversion program was designed as an alternative to the court system "by holding eligible adults accountable for their actions at the community level while also linking them with required interventions to prevent future offending," states Public Safety Canada. The Assembly of First Nations annual general assembly begins Tuesday with a pipe ceremony at St. Mary's First Nation, a reserve located within the city of Fredericton.

I was on days off over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns. As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done. As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and theUS. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment policing in Petitcodiac, NB. It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors. Sincerely, Warren McBeath, Cpl.

Methinks your liberal pals just made a major faux pas N'est Pas? Scroll down Frenchie and go down?. Threat against Burke taken seriously By STEPHEN LLEWELLYN dgleg@nb.aibn.com Published Thursday May 24th, 2007 Appeared on page A1 An RCMP security detail has been guarding Justice Minister and Attorney General T.J. Burke because of threats made against him recently. Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't explain the nature of the threats. "I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made specific overtures about causing harm towards me," he told reporters Wednesday. "The RCMP has provided security to me recently by accompanying me to a couple of public functions where the individual is known to reside or have family members in the area," said Burke. "It is nice to have some added protection and that added comfort." The RCMP provides protection to the premier and MLAs with its VIP security unit. Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have been in recent weeks. "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said. "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own personal safety." Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his pattern of activity. "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful nervous." Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick. "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general due to my background and training. "I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had to happen." Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security concerns. "We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where threats have to be taken pretty seriously," he said. Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, security in New Brunswick has been beefed up. Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all visitors are screened. The position of attorney general is often referred to as the province's "top cop." Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually prosecutes them. "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous threats since Day 1 in office." Burke said he hopes his First Nations heritage has nothing to do with it. "I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a matter and they believe you are personally responsible for assigning them their punishment or their sanction," he said. Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated? "I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied. Reporters asked when the threat would be over. "I don't think a threat ever passes once it has been made," said Burke. "You have to consider the credibility of the source." Bruce Fitch, former justice minister in the Conservative government, said "every now and again there would be e-mails that were not complimentary." "I did have a meeting with the RCMP who are in charge of the security of the MLAs and ministers," said Fitch. "They look at each and every situation." Fitch said he never had bodyguards assigned to him although former premier Bernard Lord and former health minister Elvy Robichaud did have extra security staff assigned on occasion. He said if any MLA felt threatened, he or she would discuss it with the RCMP. http://www.archive.org/ Small World EH Chucky Leblanc?

In their announcement yesterday the CBA advised that the board would come into effect September 1st, 2017. After collecting extensive input over the past two years, we know that CBA members believe it’s important for the organization to have a Board of Directors that reflects the diversity of the legal profession, including a mix of practice types, experience, skills, geography and more. Our new Board of Directors exemplifies this principle. The board is composed from one member from each province as well as the CBA President. Congratulations Ray on this well deserved appointment. > ---------- Original message ---------- > From: David Amos <motomaniac333@gmail.com> > Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2019 16:15:59 -0400 > Subject: Hey Ralph Goodale perhaps you and the RCMP should call the > Yankees Governor Charlie Baker, his lawyer Bob Ross, Rachael Rollins > and this cop Robert Ridge (857 259 9083) ASAP EH Mr Primme Minister > Trudeau the Younger and Donald Trump Jr? > To: pm@pm.gc.ca, Katie.Telford@pmo-cpm.gc.ca, > Ian.Shugart@pco-bcp.gc.ca, djtjr@trumporg.com, > Donald.J.Trump@donaldtrump.com > Frank.McKenna@td.com, barbara.massey@rcmp-grc.gc.ca, > Douglas.Johnson@rcmp-grc.gc.ca > washington.field@ic.fbi.gov, Brenda.Lucki@rcmp-grc.gc.ca, > gov.press@state.ma.us, bob.ross@state.ma.us, jfurey@nbpower.com, > jfetzer@d.umn.edu, Newsroom@globeandmail.com, sfine@globeandmail.com, > .Poitras@cbc.ca, steve.murphy@ctv.ca, David.Akin@globalnews.ca, > Dale.Morgan@rcmp-grc.gc.ca, news@kingscorecord.com, > news@dailygleaner.com, oldmaison@yahoo.com, jbosnitch@gmail.com, > andre@jafaust.com> > Cc: david.raymond.amos333@gmail. > wharrison@nbpower.com, David.Lametti@parl.gc.ca, mcu@justice.gc.ca, > Jody.Wilson-Raybould@parl.gc. > >> >> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- >> From: "Murray, Charles (Ombud)" <Charles.Murray@gnb.ca> >> Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2019 18:16:15 +0000 >> Subject: You wished to speak with me >> To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com" <motomaniac333@gmail.com> >> >> I have the advantage, sir, of having read many of your emails over the >> years. >> >> >> As such, I do not think a phone conversation between us, and >> specifically one which you might mistakenly assume was in response to >> your threat of legal action against me, is likely to prove a >> productive use of either of our time. >> >> >> If there is some specific matter about which you wish to communicate >> with me, feel free to email me with the full details and it will be >> given due consideration. >> >> >> Sincerely, >> >> >> Charles Murray >> >> Ombud NB >> >> Acting Integrity Commissioner >> >> >>> From: Justice Website <JUSTWEB@novascotia.ca> >>> Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 14:21:11 +0000 >>> Subject: Emails to Department of Justice and Province of Nova Scotia >>> To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com" <motomaniac333@gmail.com> >>> >>> Mr. Amos, >>> We acknowledge receipt of your recent emails to the Deputy Minister of >>> Justice and lawyers within the Legal Services Division of the >>> Department of Justice respecting a possible claim against the Province >>> of Nova Scotia.

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.

(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].

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.

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.

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.
