OVERVIEW:

[1]    The Crown has attempted to use on at least one occasion, the Honourable Justice I. Andre J. court order to defeat the proper course of justice or the proper application of due process of law for the Private Prosecution of CRIMINAL ACTIONS in the jurisdictional territory of Ontario. This is the main reason for the Informant’s appeal.

 

[2]    SCOPE of the matter is PRIVATE PROSECUTION; the right to Prosecute violations of the CRIMINAL CODE OF CANADA within the territorial jurisdiction  of Ontario, byway of Section 504, 507.1  of the CRIMINAL CODE OF CANADA.

                                                                                    

[3]    The Honourable Justice I. Andre J. court order is transcendental, transcending many or all courts in ONTARIO. It’s broad and pervasive; It read like a guaranteed right in the CHARTER.

 

[4]    The Private Prosecutor has no matter or any legal proceedings at any DIVISIONAL COURT or COURTS in ONTARIO or any were else; there is no evidence to prove or support this false fact. The Honourable Justice I. Andre J. court order is relying on. In the absence of evidence to prove the aforesaid, the Private Prosecutor task the Crown and YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES to prove the said false fact which has been used to unjustly drive the Informant from the “seat of judgment.”

 

[5]   Given that Justice I. Andre J. orders that a copy of the same order be forthwith delivered to the ONTARIO COURT OF APPEAL, and every region of the SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE, and DIVISIONAL COURT; the Honourable Justice I. Andre J. “COURT ORDER” which came to the Applicant's attention on August 20, 2013 at about 6 a.m.. VIA  the Crown's unsigned and improperly served  RESPONDENT'S MOTION RECORD(M42322),  on August 13, 2012 is being appealed within the context of the Informant's criminal Prosecutions and the said court order adversely affect or blocks the Applicant's private prosecution for the enforcement of the rule of law.

 

[6]    YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES(as represented by BLG),  HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of ONTARIO(as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario), and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of CANADA(as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario) knows are ought to have known how to give the Private Prosecutor proper legal service, because they all have been properly notified in person by the Informant on the method, and location legal service is to be received, if the Informant is to be successfully served.

 

[7]    YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES(as represented by BLG),  HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of ONTARIO(as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario), and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of CANADA(as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario)  has been notified on more than one occasion of the applicant change of address.

 

[8]    YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES (as represented by BLG), HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of ONTARIO (as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario), and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of CANADA (as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario)  had been informed or new or ought to have known that the Informant was homeless or was recently homeless, or impecunious.

 

[9]    YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES (as represented by BLG),  HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of ONTARIO(as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario), and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of CANADA(as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario)  new or ought to have known that the Private Prosecutor did not own an ISP account because of his financial destitution; moreover, he is impecunious.

 

[10]    YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES(as represented by BLG),  HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of ONTARIO(as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario), and HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN in right of CANADA(as represented by the Attorney General of Ontario)  was impecunious.

 

[11]    Officer Pekeski(2261) of the PEEL REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES who is referred to as Officer Perkins(2261) in some of the represented court documents being used  in this matter is the legal entity Officer Pekeski(2261); the error in the aforesaid Officer_2261 identification came about byway of his own deception of disclosing his name as “PERKINS” in addition to the PEEL REGIONAL POLICE disclosing the same Officer's identification as “PERKINS”.

 

 [12]    Officer Pekeski(2261) of the PEEL REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES and his superiors has failed to legally return the Private Prosecutor's personal belonging's Officer Pekeski(2261)  stole after the Informant exercised  his colour of right on many occasions.

 

[13]    YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES(as represented by BLG), has failed to affect proper legal service of material and exhibits relied on in attempting to “drive from the judgment seat” the Private Prosecutor byway of banning him from having fair access to justice or as Madame Joanne Stuart more or less articulate what the Informant believe to be the aforesaid, “you will come up against a wall!”

 

[14] Operating in the following scope or set of constraints establish by case law, some of which are the following;

The complexity or novelty of the question that the plaintiff

wishes to bring to trial should not act as a bar to that trial taking

 place.

 

(ii) Supreme Court of Canada

 

While this Court has had a somewhat limited opportunity to

 consider how the rules regarding the striking out of a statement

 of claim are to be applied, it has nonetheless consistently upheld

 the "plain and obvious" test. Justice Estey, speaking for the

 Court in Attorney General of Canada v. Inuit Tapirisat of Canada,

 [1980] 2 S.C.R. 735, stated at p. 740:

 

As I have said, all the facts pleaded in the statement of

 claim must be deemed to have been proven. {...}

 

The law then would appear to be clear. The facts pleaded are

 to be taken as proved. "

(Hunt v. Carey Canada Inc., [1990] 2 S.C.R. 959 page 23)

 

 

 
 

 

[15] Has the Private Prosecutor's Statement of Claim assumed to be true, before striking in a vacuume before any presentation of evidence or calling of witnesses? Pursuant to R. v. Punko, 2012 SCC 39;

[27]           I see no principled reason to suggest, as Justice Deschamps does, that such a finding of fact — expressly contemplated by the Code and independently made by the competent court — could never estop the Crown from relitigating the issue in a subsequent proceeding.

 

[28]            To constrain the doctrine as my colleague does is to create the possibility of conflicting judicial determinations, each purporting to be final, and each made in proceedings between the same parties. Where the earlier finding was made in the accused’s favour, it is precisely this sort of inconsistency that damages the integrity and coherence of the criminal justice system (R. v. Mahalingan, 2008 SCC 63, [2008] 3 S.C.R. 316, at para. 45).”

 

(R. v. Punko, 2012 SCC 39)

 

[16]    The YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES(as represented by BLG) before the Honourable Justice I. Andre J. on or about July 8th, 2013 or whatever the case maybe was an exparte hearing in contravention of PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS, NATURAL JUSTICE if it is the case that there was a hering, and the BILL OF RIGHTS.

 

[17]    The YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES(as represented by BLG) successful effort in trying to drive the Private Prosecutor from the “seat of judgment” without a fair hearing(Section 1b, 2e of the BILL OF RIGHTS), contrary to PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS,  and contrary to NATURAL JUSTICE,  byway of the honourable Justice I. Andre J. court order release on  July 8th, 2013, directs as follows;

[1] THIS COURT DECLARES that Wayne Ferron has persistently and without reasonable grounds instituted vexatious proceedings and conducted proceedings in a vexatious manner in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court, and the Ontario Court of Appeal, within  the meaning of sections 140(1)(a ) and (b) of the Court Of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, C.  C.43

 

 [2] THE COURT PROHIBITS Wayne Ferron either directly or indirectly, from instituting any proceeding or continuing any proceedings previously instituted in any court in Ontario, except until such time as he obtain leave pursuant to section 140(3) of the Courts of Justice Act and as provided for in this order.

{…}

 

[5] THIS COURT FURTHER ORDERS that should Wayne Ferron file materials seeking to commence or continue a proceeding or any appeal in any court in Ontario without first filing and an entered Order Permitting him to do so; the proceeding shall be immediately stayed upon any person filing a copy of this Order in such court. 

 

 

[6] THIS COURT FURTHER ORDERS that no further proceedings will be accepted from Wayne Ferron for filing or scheduling by any court in Ontario without the approval of the RSJ or her designate.

 

[7] THIS COURT FURTHER ORDERS that a copy of this Order be forthwith delivered to the Ontario Court of Appeal and Every region of the Superior Court of Justice and Divisional Court…”

 

 

 [18]    The YORK REGIONAL POLICE SERVICES(as represented by BLG) have successfully stolen the Private Prosecutor's LEGAL RIGHTS without a fair hearing where the Informant is given the oppurtunity to give full answer for his cause or the full oppurtunity to defend against the action of banning the Private Prosecutor from accessing justice or the fair application of Section 1(b) and Section 2(e) of the BILL OF RIGHTS, byway of the honourable Justice I. Andre J.  court order release on  July 8th, 2013.

“The rules of procedural fairness or natural justice are divided

 into two separate categories. the first category comprises the

 affected to present their case and respond to the evidence and

 arguments being advanced by other participants or in the

 knowledge or possession of the decision maker. The Latin term

for this is ”audi alteram partem,” though its admonition to hear

 or listen to the other side is {...} The second limb of the rules

covers the requirement that decision makers be independent

 and unbiased. Here too, there is and underinclusive Latin term:

 “nemo judex in sua propria causa debet esse” - no one should

 be a judge in her or his own cause.

(ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 233)

 

[43] Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

“One of the bedrock principle of natural justice or procedural

 fairness is that affected individuals have timely notice of what

 is at stake in sufficient detail to enable them to participate

 effectively in the decision making process. This principle is not

 only the basis of common law jurisprudence in this domain but it

 also is manifest in statutory provisions such as section 8 of the

 Ontario Statutory Powers Procedure Act. It provides:”

Statutory Powers Procedure Act R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER S.22

Where character, etc., of a party is in issue

 

8.Where the good character, propriety of conduct or competence of a party is an issue in a proceeding, the party is entitled to be information of any allegations with respect thereto R.S.O. 1990,c. S.22, s. 8.

[44] Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

DENIAL OF NATURAL JUSTICE RENDERS A DECISION VOID:

“The denial of a right to a fair hearing must always render a

 decision invalid, whether or not it may appear to a reviewing

 court that thee hearing would likely have resulted in a different

 decision. The right to a fair hearing must be regarded as

 an independent, unqualified right which finds its essential

justification in the sense of procedural justice which any person

 affected by an administrative decision is entitled to have. It is

not for the court to deny that right and sense of justice

 on the basis of speculation as to what the result might

have been had there been a hearing. Indeed, in most

 instances, for the reviewing court to even speculate as to the

 outcome would be to compound the denial of procedural

 fairness.

(ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 227-22)

 

[45] Pursuant to R. v. Dwyer and Lauzon at the COURT OF APPEAL;

“Conclusion

 

[68]

  With the benefit of a full argument which, unfortunately, was not presented to the learned trial Judge, we have concluded that the trial was a complete nullity, as the Judge had no jurisdiction to try the accused without a jury in the circumstances. While this conclusion may appear unduly technical, it is necessary to secure the appellants’ fundamental right not to be deprived of their liberty except by due process of law. In the result therefore, we would allow the appeal, quash the convictions and order a new trial.”

(Ontario Court of Appeals, R. v. Dwyer and Lauzon, Date: 1978-05-02)

 

[46] Pursuant to the BILL OF RIGHTS, one's rights cannot be taken away without a fair hearing to plea ones cause or defend against the said action;

2. ...be so construed and applied as not to abrogate, abridge or infringe or to authorize the abrogation, abridgment or infringement of any of the rights or freedoms herein recognized and declared, and in particular, no law of Canada shall be construed or applied so as to

 

(e) deprive a person of the right to a fair hearing in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice for the determination of his rights and obligations;

 

[47]   On the 13th of August 2013,  Assistant Crown Attorney Deborah Kirck falsely asserted on more than one occasion before the Honourable Justice Pepall whom was presiding over motion M42322 at the COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO, that  CR-12-70000062 was a Certiorari Appeal at the lower courts.

 

[48] On the 13th of September 2013,  Assistant Crown Attorney Deborah Kirck falsely asserted on more than one occasion before the Honourable Justice Watt whom was presiding over motion M42322 at the COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO, that  CR-12-70000062 was a Certiorari Appeal at the lower courts.

 

[49]  On the 24th of October 2013,  Assistant Crown Attorney Deborah Kirck falsely asserted on at least one occasion before the Honourable Justice  Feldman whom was presiding motion M42921 for direction at the COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO, that  CR-12-70000062 was a Certiorari/Mandamus Appeal at the lower courts. The fallacy with respect to the Private Prosecutor's elected mode of appeal(MANDAMUS ONLY) from the lower court continues and still persist even at the COURT OF APPEAL FOR ONTARIO.

 

[50] Pursuant to the RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT, RULE 4.01 states as follows on page 53 and 54;

Relationship to the Administration of Justice

4.01 The Lawyer as Advocate

(2) When acting as an advocate, a lawyer shall

(e)  knowingly attempt to deceive a tribunal or influence the course of justice by offering false evidence, misstating facts or law, presenting or relying upon a false or deceptive affidavit, suppressing what ought to be disclosed, or otherwise assisting in any fraud, crime, or illegal conduct,

(f)  knowingly misstate the contents of a document, the testimony of a witness, the substance of an argument, or the provisions of a statue or like authority,

(g)  knowingly assert as true a fact when its truth cannot reasonably be supported by the evidence or as a matter of which notice may be taken by the tribunal,

(h) deliberately refrain from informing the tribunal of any binding authority that at the lawyer considers to be directly on point and that has not been mentioned by an opponent,

(I) dissuade a witness from giving evidence or advise a witness to be absent,

(j) knowingly permit a witness or party to be presented in a false or misleading way or to impersonate another,

(K) needlessly abuse, hector, or harass a witness,...”

[51]   On the 18th of December 2013 before the honourable Justice Juriansz, Assistant Crown Attorney Deborah Kirck for the Crown referred to matter C56817 as a Mandamus matter. But the damage has alredy been done from the lower courts.

 

[52]   Crown Attorney Deborah Kirck for the Crown, IMPROPERLY TOOK CARRIAGE AND CONTROL OF C56817 EVIDENCE AND EXHIBITS BACK TO  THE MINISTRY OF ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE TO REVIEW, AND KNOW THE TRUTH OF THE CASE. How many accuse in addition to their co-workers and their co-accuse, and professional colleague who work in the same profession who practice get opportunity to access court materials and exhibits without the supervision of the court in the  spirit of fairness and integrity of factual materials being relied on. The allege accused is not even suppose to be informed of the matter until process is found to maintain the integrity of evidence.

 

[53] On the 28th of August 2013, the Informant was unable to view COA file C56817 because the Crown had removed all exhibits from the COURT OF APPEAL RECORDS, without reasonable notice to the Private Prosecutor, without a Judges court order, without official court documentations giving the Crown authority to do so, without  court documentation accounting for what was unofficially being removed to secure the integrity of the  COA file C56817 and it's EXHIBITS.

·         PLEASE SEE JUSTICE PEPALL AUGST 13, 2013 ENDORSEMENT

 

[54] On the 13th of August 2013, Assistant Crown Attorney Deborah Kirck whom has carriage and control of matter M42322, admitted  in open court to having possession of COA file C56817; she promised to return it to the  COURT OF APPEAL RECORDS and has done so. But, MANDAMUS APPEAL HEARING TRANSCRIPT OF EVIDENCE (M61) bound in red covers, which was filed by the Private Prosecutor, is still missing from COURT OF APPEAL file C56817. The Informant starved himself to obtain the money to pay for the said missing transcription of evidence, and now it has disappeared from COA file C56817 while the same file may have been under Assistant Crown Attorney Deborah Kirck carriage and control. The allege accuse(Ms. Joanne Stuart) in the Private Prosecution works out of the same Office as Ms. Deborah Kirck, and is at least a Professional colleague in representing the Attorney General of Ontario within the same public institution; so there is a public appearance of the aforementioned action being improper regardless of wheatear this is or is-not the case. The Private Prosecutor just wants the improper sanitized public evidence back where it belongs, and before the review panel.

[56]   On the 13th of August 2013, Assistant Crown Attorney Deborah Kirck  served on the Private Prosecutor while before the Honourable Justice Pepall in court, the Crown's unsigned  RESPONDENT'S APPLICATION RECORD(M42322) which contains under Appendix A in the same document what seem to be a the Honorable Justice I. Andre J. COURT ORDER, which came to the Private Prosecutor's attention on August 20, 2013 at about 6:00 a.m. Without reasonable notice or the opportunity to defend against the said order, before his legal rights was taken away in a fair and impartial hearing.

 

[57] The Honourable Justice I. Andre J. COURT ORDER which came to the Applicant's attention on August 20th, 2013 at about 6 a.m.. VIA  the Crown's unsigned RESPONDENT'S MOTION RECORD(M42322), and states as follows at para[2];

THE COURT PROHIBITS Wayne Ferron either directly or indirectly, from instituting any proceeding or continuing any proceedings previously instituted in any court in Ontario, except until such time as he obtain leave pursuant to section 140(3) of the Courts of Justice Act and as provided for in this order.

 

 

[58] The aforesaid, give an explanation to the reason why the Private Prosecutor has received no decision or copy of endorsements with respect to the Private Prosecutors criminal matters in the SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE (CENTRAL WEST REGION).

 

[59]   Similarly, the suspending of my HUMAN RIGHT'S MATTER, which has put his life liberty and pursuit of happiness in jeopardy.

 

[60]   Pursuant to R. v. Thorburn;

“[59]    Any justice who receives a valid Criminal Code, s. 504 information shall receive that information, and then follow the procedure in either s. 507 or s. 507.1. There is no discretion in the legislation for the justice who receives a private information to refuse to act and instead send the deponent to a different justice for the s. 504 procedure. Again, to whatever degree the Judicature Act contradicts that procedure, the Judicature Act is ineffective on the basis of paramountcy.

 

e.         the Federal criminal law authority

 

[60]      There is no question that the Federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over criminal matters: The Constitution Act, 1867 (U.K.), 30 & 31 Victoria, c. 3, s. 91...”

( R. v. Thorburn, 2010 ABQB 390)

 

[61] But the JUDICATOR ACT is Provincial Legislation, and Federal legislation is give precedence.

 

“[57]    That conclusion also applies to the Judicature Act, s. 23.1(1) procedure, where the provincial legislation directly contradicts the procedure in s. 504. Federal legislation, the Criminal Code, would trump the Judicature Act to whatever extent the provincial legislation authorizes any judge to require that a person obtain permission prior to swearing a private information.”

(page 23,  R. v. Thorburn, 2010 ABQB 390)

 

[62]   Pursuant to R. v. Thorburn;

802.(1) The prosecutor is entitled personally to conduct his case

 and the defendant is entitled to make his full answer and

defence.(ib)

 

[63]   In the Private Prosecutor's respectful view, section 140(3) of the Courts of Justice Act cannot have precedence over S. 504 of the C.C. Nor can it overtake Section 504 of the Criminal Code of Canada for the same reasons that Federal legislation takes precedence over section 23.1 of the JUDICATOR ACT in R. V. THORBURN.

“[57]    That conclusion also applies to the Judicature Act, s. 23.1(1) procedure, where the provincial legislation directly contradicts the procedure in s. 504. Federal legislation, the Criminal Code, would trump the Judicature Act to whatever extent the provincial legislation authorizes any judge to require that a person obtain permission prior to swearing a private information.”

(page 23,  R. v. Thorburn, 2010 ABQB 390)

 

 

[64]   Pursuant to R. v. Thorburn;

“[59]    Any justice who receives a valid Criminal Code, s. 504 information shall receive that information, and then follow the procedure in either s. 507 or s. 507.1. There is no discretion in the legislation for the justice who receives a private information to refuse to act and instead send the deponent to a different justice for the s. 504 procedure. Again, to whatever degree the Judicature Act contradicts that procedure, the Judicature Act is ineffective on the basis of paramountcy.

PROSECUTORS DISCRETION:

[74]

4 THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Decisions to prosecute, stay proceedings or launch an appeal must be made in accordance with legal criteria. Two important principles flow from this proposition. First, prosecution decisions may take into account the public interest,1 but must not include any consideration of the political implications of the decision. Second, no investigative agency, department of government or Minister of the Crown may instruct pursuing or discontinuing a particular prosecution or undertaking a specific appeal. These decisions rest solely with the Attorney General (and his or her counsel). The Attorney General must for these purposes be regarded as an independent officer, exercising responsibilities in a manner similar to that of a judge.

 

The absolute independence of the Attorney General in deciding whether to prosecute and in making prosecution policy is an important constitutional principle in England and Canada. As the Supreme Court stated in Law Society of Alberta v. Krieger2: “It is a constitutional principle in this country that the Attorney General must act independently of partisan concerns when supervising prosecutorial decisions.” In 1925, Viscount Simon, Attorney General of England, made this oft-quoted statement:

 

I understand the duty of the Attorney-General to be this.

He should absolutely decline to receive orders from the

Prime Minister, or Cabinet or anybody else that he shall

prosecute. His first duty is to see that no one is

prosecuted with all the majesty of the law unless the

Attorney-General, as head of the Bar, is satisfied that

the case for prosecution lies against him. He should receive

 orders from nobody.3...”

 

(4, FEDERAL PROSECUTION SERVICE DESKBOOK, page 29)

 

[75]

 

 

 The Attorney General must for these purposes be regarded as an independent officer, exercising responsibilities in a manner similar to that of a judge. The absolute independence of the Attorney General in deciding whether to prosecute and in making prosecution policy is an important constitutional principle”

 

(FEDERAL PROSECUTION SERVICE DESKBOOK, page 29)

 

[76]

THE COURT: Now just a second now, sir. In situations like this the practice is and correct me, Madam Crown if I’m wrong, that there should be number one, an outside crown and number two, and outside justice of the peace dealing with these matters.

CROWN: I....

 

[77]

 

THE COURT: That’s  - the reason for that being, sir is that the system has to be fair, it has to be fair to you. Both the Crowns here and the justice of the peace deal with police officers on a regular basis and under those circumstances the practice is to bring both an outside justice of the peace to deal with the matters and also an outside Crown - a Crown outside the jurisdiction. so that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

 

( The honorable Justice N. Rohan asserted the following on May 14th, 2012 PRE-ENQUETTE TRIAL TRANSCRIPT(CR-12-00001912), on page 2 line 1-15)

 

[78]

 

THE COURT:  ...on the day they’re before a justice and it has to be an outside justice,  number one. It has to be outside crown and number two.”

( The honorable Justice N. Rohan asserted the following on May 14th, 2012 PRE-ENQUETTE TRIAL TRANSCRIPT(CR-12-00001912), on page 2 line 27-35)

 

 

[79]

THE COURT:  ...The system has to be fair to you. Can we establish a new date that’s suitable to this gentleman?

MS PULS:: Yes, your Worship, I agree with your position and just for the record, the Crown would be requesting an out-of-town Crown as well specifically as a result of it being a Peel Regional Police officer that we deal with directly almost on a daily basis.”

 

( The honorable Justice N. Rohan asserted the following on May 14th, 2012 PRE-ENQUETTE TRIAL TRANSCRIPT(CR-12-00001912), on page 3 line 20-30)

 

[80]

MS PULS:: Your Worship, I’ll be forwarding in terms of an out-of-town Crown, this information. I’ve already spoken with my deputy, Ms Carrie Stoddart. I’ll confirm with her this date and she’ll ensure that there’s an out-of-town justice of the peace, I’m not sure if there’s an individual on your end that needs to be advised.”

were well described by Doherty J.A.  He said, at para. 74:

The adjudicative process in its various manifestations strives to do justice.  {...}  By justice, I refer to procedural fairness, the achieving of the correct result in individual cases and the broader perception that the process as a whole achieves results which are consistent, fair and accurate.

45 {...}  When the focus is thus properly on the integrity of the adjudicative process, the motive of the party who seeks to relitigate, or whether he or she wishes to do so as a defendant rather than as a plaintiff, cannot be decisive factors in the application of the bar against relitigation. “

See: L’Alliance des Professeurs Catholiques de Montréal v. Labour Relations Board [1953] 2 S.C.R. 140, per Rinfret C.J. at p. 154:

[TRANSLATION]  The rule that no one should be convicted or

deprived of his rights without a hearing, and especially without even

being informed that his rights would be in question, is a universal rule

NATURAL JUSTICE

HEAR THE OTHER SIDE(AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM):

The rules of procedural fairness or natural justice are divided into two separate categories. the first category comprises the various elements of the requirement that the decision maker provide adequate opportunities for those affected to present their case and respond to the evidence and arguments being advanced by other participants or in the knowledge or possession of the decision maker. The Latin term for this is ”audi alteram partem,” though its admonition to hear or listen to the other side is {...} The second limb of the rules covers the requirement that decision makers be independent and unbiased. Here too, there is and underinclusive Latin term: “nemo judex in sua propria causa debet esse” - no one should be a judge in her or his own cause.”

(ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 232)

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

NOTICE:

It is one of the fundamentals of procedural fairness that those affected by decisions coming within its ambit should in general receive notice of the process about to be undertaken in a sufficient degree of detail and in a timely enough fashion to enable the effectuation of their participatory entitlement.”

ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 233

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

One of the bedrock principle of natural justice or procedural fairness is that affected individuals have timely notice of what is at stake in sufficient detail to enable them to participate effectively in the decision making process. This principle is not only the basis of common law jurisprudence in this domain but it also is manifest in statutory provisions such as section 8 of the Ontario Statutory Powers Procedure Act. It provides:”

ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 238

Statutory Powers Procedure Act R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER S.22

Where character, etc., of a party is in issue

8.Where the good character, propriety of conduct or competence of a party is an issue in a proceeding, the party is entitled to be furnished prior to the hearing with reasonable information of any allegations with respect thereto. R.S.O. 1990, c. S.22, s. 8.

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

DENIAL OF NATURAL JUSTICE RENDERS A DECISION VOID:

 

The denial of a right to a fair hearing must always render a decision invalid, whether or not it may appear to a reviewing court that thee hearing would likely have resulted in a different decision. The right to a fair hearing must be regarded as an independent, unqualified right which finds its essential justification in the sense of procedural justice which any person affected by an administrative decision is entitled to have. It is not for the court to deny that right and sense of justice on the basis of speculation as to what the result might have been had there been a hearing.

Indeed, in most instances, for the reviewing court to even speculate as to the outcome would be to compound the denial of procedural fairness.

(ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 227-229)

BILL OF RIGHTS:

 

An Act for the Recognition and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

 

Preamble

 

The Parliament of Canada, affirming that the Canadian Nation is founded upon principles that acknowledge the supremacy of God, the dignity and worth of the human person and the position of the family in a society of free men and free institutions;

 

Affirming also that men and institutions remain free only when freedom is founded upon respect for moral and spiritual values and the rule of law;

 

And being desirous of enshrining these principles and the human rights and fundamental freedoms derived from them, in a Bill of Rights which shall reflect the respect of Parliament for its constitutional authority and which shall ensure the protection of these rights and freedoms in Canada:

 

Therefore Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:

 

PART I

Recognition and declaration of rights and freedoms

 

1. It is hereby recognized and declared that in Canada there have existed and shall continue to exist without discrimination by reason of race, national origin, colour, religion or sex, the following human rights and fundamental freedoms, namely,

(a) the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof except by due process of law;

(b) the right of the individual to equality before the law and the protection of the law;

(c) freedom of religion;

(d) freedom of speech;

(e) freedom of assembly and association; and

(f) freedom of the press.

 

Construction of law

2. Every law of Canada shall, unless it is expressly declared by an Act of the Parliament of Canada that it shall operate notwithstanding the Canadian Bill of Rights, be so construed and applied as not to abrogate, abridge or infringe or to authorize the abrogation, abridgment or infringement of any of the rights or freedoms herein recognized and declared, and in particular, no law of Canada shall be construed or applied so as to

 

(e) deprive a person of the right to a fair hearing in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice for the determination of his rights and obligations;

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEGAL INSTRUMENTS:

FRUIT-OF-THE-POISONOUS-TREE DOCTRINE

fruit-of-the-poisonous-tree doctrine. Criminal procedure. The rule that evidence derived from an illegal search, arrest, or interrogation is inadmissible because the evidence (the “fruit”) was tainted by the illegality (the “poisonous tree”).

(Blacks Law Dictionary, page 693)

 

constructive fraud. 1. Unintentional deception or misrepresentation that causes injury to another. Also termed legal fraud; fraud in contemplation of law; equitable fraud; fraud in equity. 2. See fraud in

law. [Cases: Fraud =>5.]

 

In equity law the term fraud has a wider sense, and

includes all acts, omissions, or concealments by which one

person obtains an advantage against conscience over an-

other, or which equity or public policy forbids as being to

another's prejudice; as acts in violation of trust and confi-

dence. This is often called constructive, legal, or equitable

fraud, or fraud in equity.’

Encyclopedia of Criminology 175 (Vernon C. Branham & Samuel B. Kutash eds., 1949), s.v. "Fraud."

 

 

FRAUD intentional deception resulting in injury to another. Elements of fraud are: a false and material misrepresentation made by one who either knows it is falsity or is ignorant of its truth; the maker's intent that the representation be relied on by the person

and in a manner reasonably contemplated; the person's ignorance of the

falsity of the representation; the person's rightful or justified reliance; and

proximate injury to the person. See 310 F. 2d 262, 267.

It "usually consists of a misrepresentation, concealment, or nondisclosure of a material fact, or at least misleading conduct, devices, or contrivance." 234 F. Supp. 201, 203. It embraces all the multifarious means which human ingenuity can devise to

 

CONSTRUCTIVE [LEGAL] FRAUD comprises all acts, omissions, and

concealments involving breach of, equitable or legal duty, trust or

confidence and resulting in damage to another, 38 Ca!. Rptr. 148, I ~I

i,e., no scienter is required. Thus the party who makes the misrepresentation need not know that It false. See 437 S.w. 2d 20, 28.

 

EXTRINSIC [COLLATERAL] FRAUD fraud that prevents a party from knowing about his rights or defenses or from having a fair opportunity of, presenting them at a trial, or from fully litigating at the trial all the rights or defenses that he was entitled to assert. 468 S.w. 2d 160, 163. It is a

ground for equitable relief from a judgment. See 247 P. 2d 801”

ASSAULT. 1

Every one who without the consent of another person, applies force intentionally to that other person directly or indirectly commits an assault

(s. 265(1)(a)).

Every one who by an act or a gesture attempts or threatens to apply force to another person if he has, or causes that other person to believe on reasonable grounds that he has, present ability to effect his purpose commits an assault (s. 265(1)(b)).

3. Every one who while openly wearing or carrying a weapon or an imitation thereof accosts or impedes another person or begs commits an assault (s. 265(1)(b)).

 

(THE POLICE OFFICERS MANUAL)

 

 

 

ABUSE OF PROCESS.

 I. Pursuant to this common law doctrine, a court of competent jurisdiction has inherent power to prevent the abuse of its process by staying proceedings. This power is to be exercised in favour of the accused where compelling the accused to stand trial would violate those fundamental principles of justice which underlie the community's sense of fair play and decency and to prevent the abuse of a court's process through oppressive and vexatious proceedings (R. v. Jewitt (1985), 47 C.R. (3d) 193 (S.c.c.)). It is limited to the clearest of cases. An additional protection against an abuse of process is found in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which provides that everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice (Charter, s. 7).

2. The onus of establishing that an abuse of process has occurred is on the respondent who must establish, on a balance of probabilities, that the Crown has acted in an oppressive or vexatious manner or that the prosecution is offensive to the principles of fundamental justice and fair play (R. v. D. (T.c.) (1987), 38 c.c.c. (:Id) 434 (Ont. C.A.)).

(MARTIN’S ONTARIO CRIMINAL PRACTICE 2004, page R/145)

 

Rule 21(3) which requires the respondent factum to be filed at least 10 days  before the week in which the appeal is to be heard

 

2.01 A failure to comply with these rules is an irregularity and does not render a proceeding or a step, document or order in a proceeding a nullity, and the court,

 

a) may grant all necessary amendments or other relief in accordance with rule 2.02 on such terms as are just, to secure the just determination of the real matters in dispute;or

b) only where and as necessary in the interests of justice, may set aside the proceeding or a step, document or order in the proceeding in whole or in part

Recognizing that these rights derive from the inherent dignity of the human person,

 

Recognizing that, in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ideal of free human beings enjoying civil and political freedom and freedom from fear and want can only be achieved if conditions are created whereby everyone may enjoy his civil and political rights, as well as his economic, social and cultural rights,

 

Considering the obligation of States under the Charter of the United Nations to promote universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and freedoms,

 

Realizing that the individual, having duties to other individuals and to the community to which he belongs, is under a responsibility to strive for the promotion and observance of the rights recognized in the present Covenant,

2. Where not already provided for by existing legislative or other measures, each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to take the necessary steps, in accordance with its constitutional processes and with the provisions of the present Covenant, to adopt such laws or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to the rights recognized in the present Covenant.

The press and the public may be excluded from all or part of a trial for reasons of morals, public order (ordre public) or national security in a democratic society, or when the interest of the private lives of the parties so requires, or to the extent strictly necessary in the opinion of the court in special circumstances where publicity would prejudice the interests of justice; but any judgement rendered in a criminal case or in a suit at law shall be made public except where the interest of juvenile persons otherwise requires or the proceedings concern matrimonial disputes or the guardianship of children.

The International Covenant on Civil and Political  Rights:

 

Recommendation 13:

The State party should review the Canada Evidence Act so as to guarantee the right of all persons to a fair trial, and in particular, to ensure that individuals cannot be condemned on the basis of evidence to which they, or those representing them, do not have full access. The State party, bearing in mind the Committee’s general comment No. 29 (2001) on states of emergency, should in no case invoke exceptional circumstances as justification for deviating from fundamental principles of fair trial.”

NATURAL JUSTICE

HEAR THE OTHER SIDE(AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM):

The rules of procedural fairness or natural justice are divided into two separate categories. the first category comprises the various elements of the requirement that the decision maker provide adequate opportunities for those affected to present their case and respond to the evidence and arguments being advanced by other participants or in the knowledge or possession of the decision maker. The Latin term for this is ”audi alteram partem,” though its admonition to hear or listen to the other side is {...} The second limb of the rules covers the requirement that decision makers be independent and unbiased. Here too, there is and underinclusive Latin term: “nemo judex in sua propria causa debet esse” - no one should be a judge in her or his own cause.”

ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 232

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

NOTICE:

It is one of the fundamentals of procedural fairness that those affected by decisions coming within its ambit should in general receive notice of the process about to be undertaken in a sufficient degree of detail and in a timely enough fashion to enable the effectuation of their participatory entitlement.”

ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 233

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

One of the bedrock principle of natural justice or procedural fairness is that affected individuals have timely notice of what is at stake in sufficient detail to enable them to participate effectively in the decision making process. This principle is not only the basis of common law jurisprudence in this domain but it also is manifest in statutory provisions such as section 8 of the Ontario Statutory Powers Procedure Act. It provides:”

ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 238

Statutory Powers Procedure Act R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER S.22

Where character, etc., of a party is in issue

8.Where the good character, propriety of conduct or competence of a party is an issue in a proceeding, the party is entitled to be furnished prior to the hearing with reasonable information of any allegations with respect thereto. R.S.O. 1990, c. S.22, s. 8.

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

DENIAL OF NATURAL JUSTICE RENDERS A DECISION VOID:

The denial of a right to a fair hearing must always render a decision invalid, whether or not it may appear to a reviewing court that thee hearing would likely have resulted in a different decision. The right to a fair hearing must be regarded as an independent, unqualified right which finds its essential justification in the sense of procedural justice which any person affected by an administrative decision is entitled to have. It is not for the court to deny that right and sense of justice on the basis of speculation as to what the result might have been had there been a hearing.

Indeed, in most instances, for the reviewing court to even speculate as to the outcome would be to compound the denial of procedural fairness.

ABUSE OF PROCESS.

 I. Pursuant to this common law doctrine, a court of competent jurisdiction has inherent power to prevent the abuse of its process by staying proceedings. This power is to be exercised in favour of the accused where compelling the accused to stand trial would violate those fundamental principles of justice which underlie the community's sense of fair play and decency and to prevent the abuse of a court's process through oppressive and vexatious proceedings (R. v. Jewitt (1985), 47 C.R. (3d) 193 (S.c.c.)). It is limited to the clearest of cases. An additional protection against an abuse of process is found in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms which provides that everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice (Charter, s. 7).

2. The onus of establishing that an abuse of process has occurred is on the respondent who must establish, on a balance of probabilities, that the Crown has acted in an oppressive or vexatious manner or that the prosecution is offensive to the principles of fundamental justice and fair play (R. v. D. (T.c.) (1987), 38 c.c.c. (:Id) 434 (Ont. C.A.)).

(MARTIN’S ONTARIO CRIMINAL PRACTICE 2004, page R/145)

 

Rule 21(3) which requires the respondent factum to be filed at least 10 days  before the week in which the appeal is to be heard

 

2.01 A failure to comply with these rules is an irregularity and does not render a proceeding or a step, document or order in a proceeding a nullity, and the court,

 

a) may grant all necessary amendments or other relief in accordance with rule 2.02 on such terms as are just, to secure the just determination of the real matters in dispute;or

b) only where and as necessary in the interests of justice, may set aside the proceeding or a step, document or order in the proceeding in whole or in part

The International Covenant on Civil and Political  Rights:

 

Adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession by General Assembly resolution 2200A (XXI)of 16 December 1966 entry into force 23 March 1976, in accordance with Article 49

 

 

Preamble

 

The States Parties to the present Covenant,

 

Considering that, in accordance with the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations, recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

 

Recognizing that these rights derive from the inherent dignity of the human person,

 

Recognizing that, in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ideal of free human beings enjoying civil and political freedom and freedom from fear and want can only be achieved if conditions are created whereby everyone may enjoy his civil and political rights, as well as his economic, social and cultural rights,

 

Considering the obligation of States under the Charter of the United Nations to promote universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and freedoms,

 

Realizing that the individual, having duties to other individuals and to the community to which he belongs, is under a responsibility to strive for the promotion and observance of the rights recognized in the present Covenant,

 

Agree upon the following articles:

 

 

Article  2

1. Each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to respect and to ensure to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the present Covenant, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

 

2. Where not already provided for by existing legislative or other measures, each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to take the necessary steps, in accordance with its constitutional processes and with the provisions of the present Covenant, to adopt such laws or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to the rights recognized in the present Covenant.

 

3. Each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes:

(a) To ensure that any person whose rights or freedoms as herein recognized are violated shall have an effective remedy, notwithstanding that the violation has been committed by persons acting in an official capacity;

 

(b) To ensure that any person claiming such a remedy shall have his right thereto determined by competent judicial, administrative or legislative authorities, or by any other competent authority provided for by the legal system of the State, and to develop the possibilities of judicial remedy;

 

(c) To ensure that the competent authorities shall enforce such remedies when granted.

 

 

Article 3

The States Parties to the present Covenant undertake to ensure the equal right of men and women to the enjoyment of all civil and political rights set forth in the present Covenant.

 

Article 10

 

1. All persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity and with respect for the inherent dignity of the human person.

 

Article 11

1. All persons shall be equal before the courts and tribunals. In the determination of any criminal charge against him, or of his rights and obligations in a suit at law, everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law. The press and the public may be excluded from all or part of a trial for reasons of morals, public order (ordre public) or national security in a democratic society, or when the interest of the private lives of the parties so requires, or to the extent strictly necessary in the opinion of the court in special circumstances where publicity would prejudice the interests of justice; but any judgement rendered in a criminal case or in a suit at law shall be made public except where the interest of juvenile persons otherwise requires or the proceedings concern matrimonial disputes or the guardianship of children.

 

Article 15

1 . No one shall be held guilty of any criminal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a criminal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time when the criminal offence was committed. If, subsequent to the commission of the offence, provision is made by law for the imposition of the lighter penalty, the offender shall benefit thereby.

 

2. Nothing in this article shall prejudice the trial and punishment of any person for any act or omission which, at the time when it was committed, was criminal according to the general principles of law recognized by the community of nations.

 

 

Article 26

All persons are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to the equal protection of the law. In this respect, the law shall prohibit any discrimination and guarantee to all persons equal and effective protection against discrimination on any ground such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

 

 

Article 50

The provisions of the present Covenant shall extend to all parts of federal states without any limitations or exceptions.

 

Article 51

2. Amendments shall come into force when they have been approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations and accepted by a two-thirds majority of the States Parties to the present Covenant in accordance with their own respective constitutional processes.

 

3. When amendments come into force, they shall be binding on those States Parties which have accepted them, other States Parties still being bound by the provisions of the present Covenant and any earlier amendment which they have accepted.

 

 

The International Covenant on Civil and Political  Rights:

Recommendation 13:

The State party should review the Canada Evidence Act so as to guarantee the right of all persons to a fair trial, and in particular, to ensure that individuals cannot be condemned on the basis of evidence to which they, or those representing them, do not have full access. The State party, bearing in mind the Committee’s general comment No. 29 (2001) on states of emergency, should in no case invoke exceptional circumstances as justification for deviating from fundamental principles of fair trial.”

NATURAL JUSTICE

HEAR THE OTHER SIDE(AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM):

The rules of procedural fairness or natural justice are divided into two separate categories. the first category comprises the various elements of the requirement that the decision maker provide adequate opportunities for those affected to present their case and respond to the evidence and arguments being advanced by other participants or in the knowledge or possession of the decision maker. The Latin term for this is ”audi alteram partem,” though its admonition to hear or listen to the other side is {...} The second limb of the rules covers the requirement that decision makers be independent and unbiased. Here too, there is and underinclusive Latin term: “nemo judex in sua propria causa debet esse” - no one should be a judge in her or his own cause.”

ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 232

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

NOTICE:

It is one of the fundamentals of procedural fairness that those affected by decisions coming within its ambit should in general receive notice of the process about to be undertaken in a sufficient degree of detail and in a timely enough fashion to enable the effectuation of their participatory entitlement.”

ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 233

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

One of the bedrock principle of natural justice or procedural fairness is that affected individuals have timely notice of what is at stake in sufficient detail to enable them to participate effectively in the decision making process. This principle is not only the basis of common law jurisprudence in this domain but it also is manifest in statutory provisions such as section 8 of the Ontario Statutory Powers Procedure Act. It provides:”

ADMINISTRATION LAW - David J. Mullan; page 238

Statutory Powers Procedure Act R.S.O. 1990, CHAPTER S.22

Where character, etc., of a party is in issue

8.Where the good character, propriety of conduct or competence of a party is an issue in a proceeding, the party is entitled to be furnished prior to the hearing with reasonable information of any allegations with respect thereto. R.S.O. 1990, c. S.22, s. 8.

 

Pursuant to ADMINISTRATION LAW by David J. Mullan;

DENIAL OF NATURAL JUSTICE RENDERS A DECISION VOID:

The denial of a right to a fair hearing must always render a decision invalid, whether or not it may appear to a reviewing court that thee hearing would likely have resulted in a different decision. The right to a fair hearing must be regarded as an independent, unqualified right which finds its essential justification in the sense of procedural justice which any person affected by an administrative decision is entitled to have. It is not for the court to deny that right and sense of justice on the basis of speculation as to what the result might have been had there been a hearing.

Indeed, in most instances, for the reviewing court to even speculate as to the outcome would be to compound the denial of procedural fairness.
