 | JCT: Excuse me for not trumpeting this in my last post when Noreen mentioned that her friend Chuck had served his motion to quash. But that now lets Noreen fast-track her slow train.

NE: But it appears they DON'T. Never hurts to point it out. That is why it wasn't used in Nicholls. http://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/judgments/pc/2003/01/p03_0132.htm
JCT: Okay. I'll put it at the beginning of the timeline. Do you really think it has to go in the Notices of Motion to quash and prohibit too?
NE: [6] Mr. Nicholls' counsel, Mr. Weststrate, argued this application on three grounds: a) it is a breach of Mr. Nicholls' s.15 equality rights under the Charter to be prosecuted for an offence for which he could not be prosecuted were he simply to reside in another part of Canada;
JCT: That's why Krieger repealing S.7 in Alberta repeals it for us all. Especially when the the Supreme Court has the chance and does not disagree. NE: b) pursuant to the reasoning in Stavert, the Crown is estopped from arguing that s.4(1) discloses an offence known to law; or
JCT: The Federal Crown for sure. Isn't this obvious that it's wrong for the Ministry of Justice to prosecute in one province and not another?
NE: c) in reliance upon both Stavert and Clarke, it is an affront to the community sense of fair play and decency - and thus an abuse of the process of the court - to permit the federal Crown to proceed against Mr. Nicholls when more than one third of Canada's population is what he characterizes as being "immune from similar prosecution" because of Parker.
JCT: "Because they admit the law is dead" should have been added so it really means "it is an affront to the community sense of fair play and decency - and thus an abuse of the process of the court - to permit the federal Crown to proceed against the accused when the law is dead."
So all these prosecutions we've been bewailing, once we win, we can go after those Crowns for abusing the process. The Nielsens can go after Greg Smith for fooling the judge. Everyone can go after David Frankel for fooling everyone.
NE: [7] The application was not argued on the original premise of Parker, namely that s.4(1) is unconstitutional for its failure to provide for the s.7 rights of medical users.
JCT: Of course not. That's what the Crown keeps claiming. That we need to give constitutional notice. We keep answering that declaring it dead is not declaring it unconstitutional.
NE: *****Nor did Mr. Weststrate address whether the federal government's regulatory response to Parker was or was not sufficient to "save" the section (an issue which as I mentioned has not yet been considered by the Ontario Court of Appeal, and has not to my knowledge been argued in B.C.).
JCT: And of course, now years later, we know that the Crown had to drop the 4000 charges when it was found that the government's regulatory response to Parker, the MMAR, was not sufficient to "save' the section. All across Canada.
NE: At the close of his argument, I asked Mr. Weststrate whether he was inviting me to consider the constitutionality of the section. But it is clear I cannot address that issue, in part because no notice was given of that constitutional challenge, and in part because the applicant did not directly argue the substantive effect of the new regulations. So these reasons are limited to the scope of the argument as framed by Mr. Weststrate's submissions.
JCT: And we don't want to discuss whether it's constitutionally bad, either. We only want to discuss whether it's already-determined badness makes it still dead.
NE: 8] Mr. Sommerey, on behalf of the federal Crown argues that the defendant's characterization of the state of the law in Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia misapprehends the jurisprudential realities and, in any event, that proceedings in British Columbia should continue unless and *********until a British Columbia court articulates a reason why they should not, or the Supreme Court of Canada does so in relation to the whole nation.
JCT: It's weird. We're being told that if you have a case that's not 100%, that's iffy, and the Supreme Court of Canada grants leave but then you win, that iffy decision is Canada wide. But if your case is so powerful that the Crown don't even appeal or they are not granted leave to appeal, then it's not Canada wide? Only province-wide! Isn't that what they are saying if they say that when the government gives up appealing, it's not as strong as if you'd won it after an appeal. Aren't all power cases whose challenges are laughed out of court and denied leave now considered weaker than had the lousy challenge gotten in and then you win? It doesn't make sense, does it, for the weaker cases to be Canada-wide and the stronger cases not Canada-wide because the government gave up faster?
>And NO BC court (or other, until Hitzig) even MENTIONED s.52.
JCT: Is this something most judges have forgotten? >Michael Robert Graham and Bobbie Jo Parks: http://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/judgments/pc/2003/03/p03_0369.htm [16] NE: NOTE THIS: ****The applicants must provide some legal basis for a conclusion that section 4(1) of the Act is invalid
JCT: What's wrong with Parker and Krieger Orders?
N: ******in this province. For the reasons stated above, Parker and J.P. are not helpful.
JCT: Parker is not helpful? Who is this judge?
N: The applicants have not otherwise provided persuasive or binding authority from outside of this province that the Parker declaration of invalidity applies nationwide. >NE: You NEED to include Section 32 (not only in Alberta/Ontario) AND Section 52. THE APPLICANTS MUST PROVIDE. Besides - you don't need to include the whole thing, just PLEASE point it out.
JCT: You've seen my timeline format. Go ahead and prepare the parts the way you think you'd like them laid out.

I believe it can be found in the Criminal Code Book.
JCT: That's great news. No need to print it. So sure, I can throw it in. Unless we've already won in North Bay!
N: DO NOT expect the judge to remember it. (Although in your case it may be too late) PS. I am sure stoked about hearing what Judge Serre has to say.

Of course, all he has to > do is pick a date for criminal hearings with 30 days > notice, serve the quash motion, then Noreen serves a > Notice of Return of Motion to piggy-back from March 17 NE: March 17 - but what's a "Return of Motion?" JCT: You pick the day when Criminal Court Motions are heard and write it on your "Notice of Return of Motion" indicating that the Notice of Motion adjourned to March 17 is now going to be returnable on an earlier day after the 30-days service requirement. You hand it to the Crown, don't bother asking them for service if people find their refusal confusing, just make sure you leave one with them, swear the affidavit of service you served your date to dance with the Crown in front of a judge on them and file it in court. No one can make you live under the cloud of a defective indictment more than 30-days.
N: Crown asked for 3 hours time - the judge asked me if I required witnesses, so an all day was booked. 17 March is the only day where it can be all day.
JCT: But you don't need any witnesses for a motion to quash. Just get hooked up with Chuck and plead his minikit and refer to your maxi-kit if you need to. As for the witnesses at trial you mentioned earlier and what evidence to be raised in defence, that's all years away. Don't even go there with your friend. He doesn't need that now. I presume he's sick?
> Make sure to bring your tape recorder and point out how > Section 136 permits taping as supplementary for personal > notes in Ontario and you may get a judge who says yes. Is > it banned completely? NE: Banned completely in BC Courts. JCT: Time to ask to have the ban deemed unconstitutionally not equal treatment. We get it in Ontario, they get it in Quebec. Take the time to push. Could be a valuable win for all of you in BC to get high-tech notes like us.
> to Chuck's day and can do the talking for both of them at > the advanced date. N: I think Chuck will get heard with mine. He is also charged with cannabis resin (and marijuana).
JCT: I'd rather you picked the date and got yours heard with his. There's no reason either of you have to wait more than his 30 days notice. That's your next battle. Actually, it's not going to be a battle if you just file his forms for the day he has a right to in February and file your Notice of Return of Motion for the earlier date. Fait accomplit. There's nothing they can do to deny you if you don't ask. Just like the service they refuse. There's nothing they can do to stop you serving them if you don't ask for their admission of service because you'll swear you gave it to them at the JP yourself.
There is no need for the extra month delay. We need you coming into combat now. You're too well-versed a combatant not to get into it while the action's hot. And there's nothing they can do to stop you if Chuck demands his 30-day hearing. After all, you can promise his minikit won't take more than half an hour to argue.
Then you hit them with your motion letting them know you're bringing along your maxikit should the minikit prove insufficient. But it seems to have worked for Tarzan in North Bay. We need another quick Superior Court decision in another province fast. Fastest.

???????????????? Explain please
JCT: He finds out when the first possible date for a short half-hour motion to be heard after the 30-day required service. If he hadn't served it already, he'd just pick the date and hand it in. In your case where you're already booked, you need the Notice of Return of Motion. But since he's coming up Thursday morning, he need merely demand what he could have had if he'd refiled the whole thing. He cannot be denied his early hearing. Then you piggy-back.
> Noreen, you know the smarter bad guys monitor what I'm > going to do to them. You have got to promise us you'll > make the offer of consolidation with your friend. NE: I think Crown is consolidating him with me, but I think he may be OK to do it himself.
JCT: Of course the Crown wants to put him off to March with the thick file on the bench. But you want to force him to do it in February with the little file on the bench. First show, only Aces and Kings, no small cards unless necessary.
NE: Depends on who the judge is on Thursday. I know already Crown will be asking to have his heard with mine on the 17th - but his is only CDSA 4(1), although also cannabis resin - which if required could be heard with mine - but otherwise - depending on the judge - it is only really a 5 page motion (with just a lot of references).
JCT: You must get him his early date and not let them slow him down to your delayed case. This is your chance to advance your date if you do it right. Concentrate on getting him his early date and then you'll love all talk of consolidation. But not while he's trying to get Chuck delayed to your date. This is important. There is no reason for you to suffer delay. You can get into action sooner. Chuck is your ticket. You must try.

JCT: Not just interesting. If Justice Valin really declared possession and cultivation unknown to law, you get to use it first and get a double Superior Court to agree. You must get booked to establish Krieger in your province fast.

That didn't sound odd to > him when Smith said it. The Court "made it known to law > again." And Doug even quipped that Parliament Only > Legislates Courts Only Abrogates. The judge wasn't > listening to this civilian on law. NE: That's why I live in BC. We have better weed out here - makes people (and judges) smarter.(hopefully)
JCT: And the sooner you get the issue before the hopefully smarter crew of judges, the better.
> Anyway, a declaration of war out of the West would sure > cheer up the Ontario Team. Richard Johnson and family. > Will you make sure to get the earliest BC date and > piggy-back into an expedited hearing so we can get our > most-informed and "practiced" guerrilla lawyer into > action? NE: I would love to, but I am not sure about the 1 day thing (although I don't think I need that long) - it really depends on Judge Serre's decision.
JCT: Of course, you don't need that long. Doug and Laurie's case was only 300 pages because I used the Acton and Parker decisions and all the other stuff to establish the sections were dead. Then along came the "Krieger 3-Judge Memorandum" detailing that it was S.7 being struck down 3 times, the Calgary Newspaper misrepresentions and the Supreme Court of Canada note that S.7 had been struck down with the Order which made the Minikits just as powerful as the maxis.
So let Chuck's case lead, you do it, and only call on your maxi-kit if you aren't winning it with only the mini. But make sure Chuck doesn't suffer much more than 30 days before challenging the defective indictment. The key point to keep hitting the judge with it that. No Canadian needs live under the cloud of a defective indictment more than the 30-day notice.
Hey, the defence lawyers always get in and never get stalled from the motions on Law and Order. Why here?
Thursday is your chance to put your machine on the fast- track. Don't miss it. The war's almost over.
