THE AVERAGE CANADIAN CANNOT AFFORD JUSTICE

As we have seen in an earlier blog quoting from Rhode Scholar and former dean of law at the University of Western Ontario in his book LAWYERS GONE BAD – Money, Sex and Madness in Canada’s Legal Profession at p. 234, the learned scholar ask a simple question, how much justice can the average Canadian afford and his brief answer was none.


In the blog LAW SOCIETIES SHOULD NOT BE POLICING LAWYERS  http://accesstojustice70.blogspot.ca/2015/11/law-societies-should-not-be-policing.html  I gave some background as to why law societies in Canada cannot police lawyers and that the Province of Ontario has failed Ontarians in enacting Bill 14, Access to Justice, 2006 by not following the recommendations of Sir David Clementi 2004 Report.  We have seen in that blog that the British Parliament adopted the recommendations by enacting Legal Services Act, 2007.


Over the course of the next few months, I will come back to this question because it is imperative in Canada to take the control of policing lawyers from the law societies just as it was important to take the control of Police policing themselves.
It is important to quote extensively from what Mr. Slayton had to say about law societies:

“Law societies are run by lawyers, according to the world view and temperament of lawyers.” This is important because of how the New World Order has evolved since President Reagan and Prime Minister Mulroney signed the first free trade agreement and how that agreement was forced on Canadian.  This will be the subject of another blog.


The paragraph continues:

“It is no surprise that they have the same agenda and attitude as their members.  Law Societies are by nature conservative and protective of the status quo[GB1] .  They nourish their own and are the voice of the establishment.  A law society member who is different risks severe criticism and marginalization.”


As a footnote to the last sentence he stated:  “One might think that this is what happened to Harry Kopyto.” He devoted a chapter to my good friend Harry.  I will also need a few blog to deal with the Kopyto saga with the Law Society of Upper Canada.  He has been practicing as a paralegal since 1989 offering his expertise to people who could neither afford lawyers or justice.  The Law Society is refusing to licence him and he is challenging the refusal.


What follows in the paragraph is very important:
“It is not the law societies of Canada that will change things.  Amongst lawyers themselves there is a growing resistance to the expanding concept of ‘professional misconduct’ …”


As the Police in Ontario could not police themselves, neither can the Law Society of Upper Canada police lawyers.  I have been involved with a number of complaints and from my experience in dealing with the Law Society of Upper Canada the faster that we will be able to bring the Ontario government to its sense the better chance that the average Ontarian will have a chance to access justice.  These quote are taken from page 238


The other problem that the average Canadian faces is what lawyers are taught at law school.  Which is “Access to Justice is not on the agenda”.  Therefore, the paragraph contain an important message that ought to be quoted at length:
“Law school encourages cosmopolitan desires and pursuits.  It reaffirms traditional values.  It teaches what the economist Paul Seabright has called ‘the narrative’.   Students are encouraged to anticipate wealth and power; they are told how to serve the rich, for it is only the rich who can afford lawyers; they are taught rules, techniques, and toughness, and learn to avoid emotional involvement or moral judgment.  This is what law students, and those who will eventually employ them want.  Access to justice is not on the agenda.”


Again in further blog, I will demonstrate how lawyers especially those working for the Attorney Generals in Canada will seeks ways to obstruct justice.

LAW SOCIETIES SHOULD NOT BE POLICING LAWYERS

Access to justice is not on the agenda of law societies in Canada. Philip Slayton book entitled LAWYERS GONE BAD – Money, Sex and Madness in Canada’s Legal profession, chapter 16 “The Search for Justice at page 235.

The first sentence of Chapter 16 ask the following question: “How much justice can the average Canadian afford?” His answer was not only brief but consisted of a four-letters word: “None”

Philip Slaton is not your average Canadian. First and foremost he is a Rhode Scholar who studied law at Oxford University. He also taught law not only at McGill University but and was dean of law at the University of Ontario before he became a law partner of a major Canadian law firm on Bay Street in Toronto, (the equivalent of Wall Street in the United States)

 Then, at page 238, speaking of law societies, Rhode Scholar Slayton stated:

"Law Societies are run by lawyers, according to the world view and temperament of lawyers. It is no surprise that they have the same agenda and attitude as their members. Law Societies are by nature conservative and protective of the status quo. They nourish their own and are the voice of the establishment. A law society member who is different risk severe criticism and marginalization.”

The province of Ontario Liberal government failed Ontarians by enacting Access to Justice Act, 2006, Schedule C Amendments to the Law Society Act and Related Amendments to Other Act, S.O 2006, c. 21. Received Royal Assent October 19, 2006. The Act is found at:

http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/bills/bills_detail.do?locale=en&BillID=284

It is shameful that here in Canada not only or governments but the legal community, the Canadian law societies; the Canadian Bar Association and its provincial arms of its Association cannot ensure that Cap 29 of Magna Carta, 1297 which form part of the Canadian Constitution pursuant to the opening paragraph of the Constitution Act, 1867.

See: O’Holloran JA, Rex v. Hess (No.2), 4 D.L.R. 199. At pp 208-9:

“I conclude that the purported powers in s. 1025A to deny an acquitted person bail, to obstruct and delay his application thereof, and to detain him in custody for an offence of which the Court has acquitted him and when there is no offence charged against him are all contrary to the written constitution of the United Kingdom as reflected in Magna Carta (1215), … (reaffirmed Cap 29, Magna Carta, (1297). I conclude further that the opening paragraph of the preamble to the B.N.A. Act, 1867, (now Constitution Act 1867, which provided for a ‘Constitution similar in principle t that of the United Kingdom’, thereby adopted the same constitutional, and hence s. 1025A is contrary to the Canadian Constitution, and beyond the competence of Parliament or any provincial Legislature to enact so long as our Constitution remains in its present form of a constitutional democracy. (Brackets are the bloggers).

 Cap 29 of Magna Carta reads:

 “We will sell to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either Justice or Rights.”

Therefore, it becomes apparent that the average Canadian are denied access to justice and the Attorney General of Ontario, the Secretary General of the Law Society of Upper Canada acting in collusion with the leadership of the Paralegal Society of Ontario did nothing to protect the average Ontarians Cap 29 Magha Carta’s rights to access justice.

In his book, Slayton at page 238, made reference to Sir David Clementi’s 2004 Report to the effect that the current British system of regulating the legal profession and Sir Clementi’s proposal for a radical new system. Among Sir Clementi’s recommendation was that the legal profession be overseen by a new legal by a new legal profession legal services board with a lay majority chaired by a non-lawyer and accountable to Parliament.

Sir Clementi’s recommendations were approved by the British Parliament when it enacted the Legal Services Act, 2007. Chapter 29.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/29/pdfs/ukpga_20070029_en.pdf

Schedule 15, Office for Legal Complaints under the Legal Services Act, 2007 makes is clear that the British Parliament implemented Sir Clementi’s recommendations referred above. Sections 2(1) and (2) reads as follows:

“2(1) In appointing members of the OLC, the Board must ensure that the majority of the members of the OLC are lay person

 “2(2) The chairman must be a lay person”

The Office of the Legal complaint reports to Parliament through the Lord Chancellor and unlike the Province of Ontario the OLC is not under the influence of the Attorney General. Section 13(1) of Law Society Act, R.S.O. 1990, chapter L.8. http://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90l08

ATTORNEY GENERAL GUARDIAN OF THE PUBLIC INTERESST

"13. (1) The Attorney General for Ontario shall serve as the guardian of the public interest in all matters within the scope of this Act or having to do in any way with the practice of law in Ontario or the provision of legal services in Ontario, and for this purpose he or she may at any time require the production of any document or thing pertaining to the affairs of the Society."  R.S.O. 1990, c. L.8, s. 13 (1); 1998, c. 21, s. 7 (1); 2006, c. 21, Sched. C, s. 13.

We will demonstrate in subsequent blogs that the Attorney General in Canada cannot be trusted as guardian of the public interest. It is time for the public to take similar action which led Ontario to take the control of the police policing themselves. It will become clear that law societies in Canada cannot police themselves as was the case with the police which led to the Report on Police Complaints System in Ontario.

On April 22, 2005, the Honourable Patrick J. Lesage, Q.C. presented his Report to the Attorney General. Copy of the Report: 

https://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/.../LeSage/en-fullreport.pdf

The Honourable Mr. Lesage first recommendation:

“An independent civilian body should be created to administer the public complaints system in Ontario. The body should not be related to OCCOPS. A civilian who has not been a police officer should lead this new organization. Civilian administrators should be responsible for the administration of the complaints system for each region of the Province. The new body should produce an annual public report for the Government and should also hold an annual public meeting.” 

If the Police could not police itself nor should lawyers be policing themselves. It is high time in Canada to follow the British Parliament lead and to provincial offices across Canada that the legal profession be overseen by a new legal by a new legal profession legal services board with a lay majority chaired by a non-lawyer and accountable to Parliament.

Did the Law Society address the Competition Bureau concerns regarding regulating paralegals?

The Competition Bureau has published the letter it sent to the Paralegal Standing Committee (Ontario) regarding paralegal regulation by the Law Society of Upper Canada. http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/cb-bc.nsf/eng/02277.html

The January 25, 2005 letter was addressed to Mr. Paul Dray, Chair, Paralegal Committee, The Law Society of Upper Canada and copied to Mr. Gavin MacKenzie, The Law Society of Upper Canada, Treasurer and the Honourable Michael Bryan, Attorney General. It was modified on November 2nd, 2011.

At page 3:

"When one group of professionals is reliant upon another group of competing professionals for the ability to practice its profession and he scope of authorized activities, the Bureau is concerned that unfounded quality of service arguments may be used to artificially restrict access to the market in which the professionals compete."

"The Bureau encourages vigilance that any such standards and limitations, conditions and restrictions on scope of practice be supported by fact and not speculation and that they not become a barrier that will unnecessarily restraint the ability of paralegals to independently enter the market."

Having been heavily involved with the paralegal movement just prior to the introduction of Bill 14--Access to Justice Act, 2006 including having prepared a written and appeared before the Standing Committee on Justice Policy when the Bill was before the Legislature, I am of opinion that neither Mr. Gavin MacKenzie nor the Honourable Michael Bryant were addressing the concerns of paralegals with an open mind. I will elaborated on my concerns in another blog but it suffice for now to ask whether the conclusions of the Competition Bureau were properly addressed. They are:

"In closing, our goal at the Bureau is to ensure that all markets deliver the benefits of competition, including low costs, high quality, and a variety of choice to Canadian consumers and businesses."

I am of opinion that the door was shut to such people who had demonstrated over time that they could provide low costs and a high quality of service to people who could not afford the most expensive model.

And second: "If the Bureau can be of any assistance to the Committee in the development of the rules and regulations as they apply to paralegal regulation, I invite the Committee to contact Zia Proulx at (819) 994-4830"

Mr. Harry Kopyto appearing before a number of panels, three to be exact including the Blight panel who are questioning his good character base on what I have reasons to believe and verily believe that such panels were constituted on a biased of the Law Society leading investigator sought answer as to whether the Law Society had addressed the Competition Bureau to no avails. I have further rasons to believe and varily believe that it did not because if it did it would have addressed the fact that some of paralegals overtime had demonstrated that the could provided low costs and high quality service in areas that were restricted and that it was the intent of the Law Society to close the door on those excellent paralegals.

WHAT ABOUT THE KOPYTO DISBARMENT APPEAL?

In a proceedings before the Divisional Court , the case was heard on September 12, 1986 and the oral reasons of Saunders J. were released on September 22, 1986, (Saunders, O’Brien, and Fitzpatrick JJ.) 18 A.O.A.C. 49 Harry Kopyto was one of the counsels representing McKeown in McKeown v. Law Society of Upper Canada - Docket 895/86.

At p. 49 the matter is summarized as follows: “The discipline committee of the Law Society of Upper Canada requested a lawyer to respond to certain allegation of misconduct. The committee also ordered that person participating in the lawyer’s disciplinary hearing be searched, including counsel for the lawyer. The lawyer applied to quash both decision of the committee.”

In the head notes at page 49—“The Divisional Court held that the discipline committee of the Law Society of Upper Canada had the power to take reasonable precaution to provided security, including a search of the participants, including counsel, at a disciplinary hearing – The court held that such a search would not be a denial of the rules of natural justice or unreasonable under s, 8 of the Charter of Rights. – Reference is made to paragraph 4 to 6.”

Could a person of sane mind conclude that such a search of counsel that the Law Society of Canada exercised their power judicially? Was it a reasonable precaution to provide for the committee security or was it an exercise of power aimed to discredit Kopyto by assuming that he would be carrying on his person any that would threaten the security of the committee. Was the committee exercising it power for the sole purpose of degrading Kopyto who by this time the Society and some of its members had already began showing animosity toward him.

The second head notes which read in parts: “The court held that the committee has a right to control its own process and would not be interfered with by the court unless it denied natural justice or acted contrary to statute including the Charter – Reference is made to paragraphs 1, 2 and 4.”

The only paragraph that seems to have some baring regarding the above quoted portion is paragraph 4 which I will quote below in length because it seems to miss one element that to me is important:

“The discipline committee has a right to control its process and it will not be interfered with by this court unless it denies natural justice or act contrary to a statute including the Charter. If the discipline committee on reasonable grounds apprehends that there is a danger to the persons participating in a hearing then in our view it is entitled to take reasonable precautions to provide security. Such a precaution could include a search of the participants. In this, there was abundant evidence before the committees to justify a sercch of participants and such a search would not have infringed the rights guaranteed by s. 8 of the Charter. It is unfortunate that such precautions need to be taken. If they are perceived by the applicant to create a prejudicial atmosphere they nevertheless must be carried out in the interest of security with outweighs the possible prejudice, In our view, the carrying out of reasonable security precautions in the case were not, and could not be a denial of natural justice. A general search of participants is not a reflection on anyone. It is well known that articles can be clandestinely or surreptitiously place on persons or in belonging.” p. 50

What was the abundance evidence before the committee before the committee to justify the search of Mr. Kopyto to which Mr. Justice Saunders alluded to above? He silent on any evidence that was supposed to be before the committee evidence that would have justify such a search.

Paragraph 9 of Mr. Saunders reasons is most disturbing especially the last sentence: “The Law Society is entitled to expect that in members act in a reasonable, responsible and mature fashion.” Could it be alluded that Mr. Justice Saunders in using the word “entitlement” erred it is rather “a duty” a duty that the Law Society to act in the public best interest. A duty that they far too often failed to exercise when complaint are raised before the Society. This will be demonstrated in later Blogs.

Following the Law Society’s good character panel hearing Chaired by Ms. Blights kind of prompt me to reactivate my Blog Access to Justice in my first posting since 2009 entitled ACCESS TO JUSTICE BLOG REACTIVATED
http://accesstojustice70.blogspot.com/2011/12/access-to-justice-blog-reactivated.html

In that Blog, I made reference to Kopyto’s success before Supreme Court of Canada in unanimous ruling of that court in Dowson v. The Queen http://canlii.ca/t/1txhw delivered by Lamer J. (as he was then), Laskin C.J., and Dickson, Estey, McIntyre, Chouinard, Lamer and Wilson JJ. Concurring) in overruling the Ontario Court—Court of appeal ruling delivered by Howland, C.J.O. Martin and Laciyrcière concurring, 62 C.C.C. (2d) 286—Ontario High Court of Justice ruling of Montgomery J. 57 C.C.C. (2d) 140.

What is noticeable when the matter was before the Ontario Court of Appeal and later before the Supreme Court of Canada, Ian Scott, Q.C. was one of the counsels representing Intervener, Canadian Civil Liberties Association and by the time that the Law Society of Upper Canada disbarred Kopyto, the Honourable Scott was now Attorney General of Ontario under the Liberal Administration of the time. Kopyto asked the Attorney General to charge him with the alleged fraud upon which the Law Society has founded two of the three member of the panel calling for his disbarment. The Attorney General refused knowing full well that if the Crown could not have proved its case against Kopyto, in his role as guardian of public interest pursuant to section 13(1) of the Law Society Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. L.8, as amended, he would have had to force the Law Society to reinstate Kopyto licence.

Sect13(1) now reads: “The Attorney General for Ontario shall serve as the guardian of the public interest in all matters within the scope of this Act or having to do in any way with the practice of law in Ontario or the provision of legal services in Ontario, and for this purpose he or she may at any time require the production of any document or thing pertaining to the affairs of the Society. R.S.O. 1990, c. L.8, s. 13 (1); 1998, c. 21, s. 7 (1); 2006, c. 21, Sched. C, s. 13.”

Before proceeding further it is important to note what the Dawson case referred above was all about. Dawson had laid information before Justice of the Peace on April 25, 1980 had laid an information before a Justice of the Peace allegedly forged letter. Then on June 26, 1980, a new information was laid it charged an officer of the R.C.M.P. with forgery, uttering false documents and conveying false message contrary to ss. 326(1), 330 and 324 of the Criminal Code.

On October 30, counsel for the Attorney General of Ontario, pursuant to s. 508 of the Code, directed the clerk of the court to make an entry on the record that the proceeding were stayed by the direction of the Attorney General. His Worship Justice of the Peace Allen refused the appellant’s application for an adjournment and discontinued the proceeding.

The rest is history, the Supreme Court of Canada allowed the appeal and the head note reads: “Section 508 of the Criminal Code did not empower the Attorney General to stay the proceedings at any time after an information was laid. The power to stay starts only after a summons or warrant is issued. The laying of an information doe not amount to the ‘finding of an information”; an information is found only after the Justice of the Piece has made a decision to issue process. The Power to stay, while necessary, encroaches upon a citizen’s fundamental and historical right to inform under oath a Justice of the Peace of the commission of a crime. Parliament has seen fit to impose upon the justice an obligation to ‘hear and consider’ the allegation and made a determination. In the absence of a clear and unambiguous text taking away that right, and considering a text of law that is open to an interpretation that favours the exercise of that right while amply accommodating the policy consideration that that supports the power to stay, the right should be protected.” [1983] 2 .S.C.R 144 at 144-5

Kopyto brought to my attention what happened after the release of the Supreme Court of Canada and on Friday, the 30 of December, I went to Osgoode Hall to research the information that Kopyto had provided me to find out that the Great Law Library at Osgoode Hall which as I understand is operated by the Law Society of Upper Canada was closed. The Osgoode Hall’ Registrar’s Office of the Ontario Court of Appeal was open until 5 p.m. on that day as I was informed by a clerk. When the security informed me that the library was closed it is not that I disbelieved them but I asked them to allow me to go and check it out for myself around 11 a.m. that day to confirm that a self-represented litigant would have need the service of the library to deal with the Court would have been denied that service even though the Court was open for service.

This will be the subject of another Blog. Because it important to demonstrated to what extend the governments are willing to protect appears want to protect Police officers who face allegation based on information that was laid it charging an officer of the R.C.M.P. with forgery, uttering false documents and conveying false message contrary to ss. 326(1), 330 and 324 of the Criminal Code. Sections quoted by the Supreme Court of Canada in the Dawson case referred above.

What is intriguing for the members of the audience who attends these hearing on a regular basis is the ability of the Law Society’s lead investigator, Adrian Greenaway’s ability to speak from both side of his mouth as a speaks of respect of the law. Was what Kopyto character was all about when he went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada to protect Canadian citizens from Police albeit an R.C.M.P. against the conduct of an Attorney General who sought to shove those of misconduct allegations under the rug. If such efforts are not evidence of Kopyto’s good character whose knows what more could be asked of a former lawyer who has practice as a paralegal for some 22 years since his disbarment to continue to protect Canadian citizens from administrative systemic abuses.

No wonder the Blight panel wants Greenaway out of the witness box as soon as possible, Kopyto could mot have summon a better witness to make his case and yet it was handed to him by his prosecutors on a silver platter. There are only so many damage conrols that her panel can do. The half ass investigation that he conducted in recommending the good character hearing could bring into question the legitimacy of the good character hearing and the Blight panel’s proceedings. What is most disturbing could to the roots of the legitimacy of the Law Society of Upper Canada as a whole if only as I understand only 37 per cent of its membership participated in the election of the Benchers. Could it be fair to assume that the Law Society has lost its usefulness and that the Society that has long lost its raison d’être? Could it also be that it has betrayed its legislative mandate to protector of public interest and became the defender of the establishment in flagrant contravention of legislative intents.

Before it return to the in McKeown v. Law Society of Upper Canada case referred at the beginning of this Blog for reasons that will become apparent as we proceed, it is important to refer to another case.

In December 1989, Kopyto brought a motion before the Divisional Court in which he sought to stay of his disbarment pending determination of his appeal from that disbarment the before Austin J, High Court of Justice, Divisional Court Kopyto v. Law Society of Upper Canada, 71 O.R.. (2d) 510. That motion was dismissed December 22, 1989.

When his appeal against his debarment first came for hearing before O’Drisdoll, O’Brien and H.J. Smith JJ in the Divisional Court, at the opening of an appeal counsel for Kopyto challenged the right of one of the judge to hear the appeal. The challenge related to a previous case the judge had hare as one of a panel of three judges. The previous case led to a ruling upholding the right of the law Society of Upper Canada discipline committee to require that persons entering the room be searched as a security measure. Kopyto was counsel for McKeown at that discipline hearing objected and refused to be searched. When giving reasons the court stated that the application might have raised a technical point but it had no substantive merit and the Law Society was entitled to expect members act in a reasonable, responsible and mature fashion. It was submitted that such statements raised a reasonable apprehension of bias.—The application was dismissed. 107 D.L.R. (4th) 259

At 259, O’Brien J. (orally): “On the basis of the present ruling, it would appear that while I may be entitled to remain on the panel, out of an abundance of caution, I will withdraw from the hearing and I am informed that the panel will be reconstituted.”

I would have to search my files which are in storage to find out if O’Brien J. is the same judge who sat as a single Judge in a judicial review who ordered me to sit down because I had no rights. The right to bring my application for judicial review was clearly laid out in the act upon which I sought the review.

The matter return before the Divisional Court on October 28 and November 29 before Callaghan, C.J.O.C., O’Driscoll and H,J. Smith JJ, 107 D.L.R. (4th) 259 at 266 Kopyto’s following statement is quoted in the reasons for judgment: “Mr. Kopyto did take issue, however with the Committee’s recommendation as to penalty. He led his case before Convocation on the footing that the Agreed Statement of Fact did not establish dishonest conduct but on carelessness, impression and negligence in failing to identify accurately the date and time at which the legal services were performed. In sort, the trust of Mr. Kopyto’s position was that Legal Aid was not overbilled because the legal services described were performed although not as described in the account.”

Leave to the Ontario Court of Appeal was refused March 13m 1995 and leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada refused with costs September 28, 1995. (Ka Forest, Cory and Major JJ.

Now we must not lose sight that there is a policy of the Supreme Court of Canada not to interfere with exercise of discretion of an appellate court refusing leave.

There is reference during the course of these proceedings of civil fraud yet when Kopyto asked the Attorney General of Ontario the Hon. Ian Scott to charge him so as to give him the opportunity to clear his name the Attorney General refuse.

I have also appeared before a number of Justices named Smith at least on three occasions if any of them are the same J.H. Smith and I could prove that in my case there were some miscarriage of Justice, it could also go to strengthen the fact that there was a miscarriage of justice in Kopyto’s case. My dealings with judgment in which some Justices named Smiths took part in some of my application for judicial review will be the topic of future blogs.
Per Law Society’s case of ‘Kopyto as fraudster’ falters – now he’s ungovernable
November 18, 2011 Greenaway’s Credibility Shattered http://harrykopyto.ca/2011/11/18/law-societys-case-of-kopyto-as-fraudster-falters :

First, Harry savagely destroyed the carefully crafted myth that he defrauded the Ontario Legal Aid Plan. (See box below detailing the chronology of Kopyto’s dealings with the Legal Aid Plan.) http://harrykopyto.ca/2011/11/18/law-societys-case-of-kopyto-as-fraudster-falters “Greenaway admitted under fire that his two-year- long-scouting expedition in the archival bowels of Osgoode Hall confirmed that the Legal Aid Plan paid Kopyto for all the legal aid accounts that it froze when the LSUC disbarred him in 1989. Somewhat dazed, he conceded that not a cent was deducted for any alleged ‘overbilling.’ Yet this mythical ‘overbilling’ was the reason the majority of Convocation― lawyers elected by lawyers to run the LSUC gave to justify Kopyto’s disbarment.”
Could it be that the only reasons Callaghan, C.J.O.C., O’Driscoll and H,J. Smith JJ, 107 D.L.R. (4th) 259 were not brought to their senses as were the Ontario Judges who were overruled by the Supreme Court of Canada was the mere fact the Supreme Court of Canada’s policy not to interfere with the appellate court exercise of discretion when refusing leave to appeal without reasons or justifications. The Bright panel is not only an opportunity for Kopyto to clear his name but to validate the principles by which he stands for. The Supreme Court had no problem overruling two decisions of the Ontario Court when the Ontario Court of Appeal exercised its discretion to hear the appeal from a lower court. Could the Supreme Court of Canada have overruled the Divisional Court decision to uphold the Law Society 1989 disbarment if it weren’t for its Policy not to interfere with appellate court exercise of discretion?

Will the Court take action against Heather PUChala

In a Notice of Appeal dated March 31, 2011 filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice – Divisional Court Bradley James Charlton setout his first ground of appeal as follows: “The Honourable Madame Justice Morissette erred in law by dismissing the appellant’s motion for a restraining order, since the Family Responsibility Office First Notice to the appellant did not grant the appellant the thirty days notice required under statute for the appellant to seek a refraining order (Family Responsibility and Support Arrears Enforcement Act, 1996 S.O.. c. 31, s. 34m s, 35(10), 35(11)l 35(12) and 25(13).)”

That ground is supported two decisions of the Ontario Court of Appeal both dated MARCH 5, 1001 the first is found http://canlii.ca/t/1fbrw McLarty v. Ontario (Family Responsibility Office, Director) heard January 12, 2001 before WEILER, LASKIN and CHARRON JJ.A. the second is found http://canlii.ca/t/1fbp2 Adubofuor v. Ontario (Family Responsibility Office, Director), 2001 CanLII 24013 (ON CA) also heard before WEILER, LASKIN and CHARRON JJ.A. also heard January 12, 2001 both unanimous reasons for judgment were released by Laskin J.A.


At paragraph 20 of the first case Laskin J.A. wrote: “Therefore if Mr. McLarty had failed to advise either the Director or the Registrar of his new address by the time that the First Notice was sent, the FRO could not be faulted for serving Mr. McLarty at his old address. Service under the statute would still be valid. However, when the payor disputed service, the Director is obliged to prove service. The Director must file affidavit evidence that the First Notice was sent to the payor by ordinary mail to the payor’s most recent address in the records of the Director and if different, to the payor most recent address in the record of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, as is required by s, 17.1 of the regulation. In this case, even though Mr. McLarty claimed that he had not been served, the FRO filed no proof of service on the application before Sedgwick J. Because the FRO did not file proof of service, the Director cannot maintain the suspension of Mr. McLarty divers’ licence. Requiring the FRO to prove service when a defaulting payor disputes service is consistent with the case law under the Rule of Civil Procedure requiring a plaintiff to prove service of an originating process when a defendant disputes service. See Ivan’s Film’s Inc. v. Kostelac (1989), 29. C.P.C. (2d) 20 (Master).”
At paragraph 30 – Conclusion: I would allow the appeal in part, by setting aide the motions judge’s order and in its place ordering the Director to direct the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to reinstate Mr. McLarty’s licence.”

At paragraph 13 of the second case Laskin J.A. wrote: The FRO should also have filed am affidavit attesting to Mr. Adubofuor’s most recent address in records of the Director and of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. However, the evidence before the motions judge shows that the most recent address was the address to which the First Notice was sent. Because Mr. Adubofuror was served with the First Notice in accordance with the Act and the regulation, he cannot avoid the suspension of his driver’s licence by the bare assertion that he did not receive the notice. Cogent evidence would be required to rebut service that complied with the legislative regime.

At paragraph 16 in his conclusion Laskin J.A. wrote: “Accordingly, I would allow the appeal, set aside the order of the motions judge and dismiss Mr. Adubofuor’s motion for reinstatement.”

These two decisions of the Ontario Court of Appeal speaks of the requirement of compliance with the legislative regime, When Mr. Charlton perfected his appeal on or about November 22, served and filed the required document with the Court and ask the Court to reinstate his licence because of the failure of Director of the Family Responsibility Office to comply with the legislative scheme, the Divisional Court was duty bound pursuant to section 29 of Magna Carta to order the reinstatement of his licence and adjourning the remainder of the relief sought by the Notice of Appeal to give counsel for the respondent a chance to address the other issues raised by the Notice.

Magna Carta s. 29 clearly stipulates: “we will sell to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either Justice or Rights.”

Vinnini, L.J.S.C, Ontario Supreme Court of Justice [High Court of Justice] in an October 17, 1987 judgment in Ronncato et. Al. v. O’Brien et al. 17 C.C.E.L. 290 at 295 addressed to guaranteed Magna Carta protections as follows: While s. 15 of the Charter protects the right of access to the Courts for the enforcement of one’s civil rights, the right itself is guaranteed by Magna Carta, 1297 (U.K.) 25 EDW. I ) c. 29” and then continues: “These then are the rights that exist outside of the Charter and that are preserved by s. 26 and protected by s. 15 of the Charter.”

Very strong words indeed and it is to the Divisional Court credit that when Mr. Charlton Appeal was brought before the Court it acted promptly to restore his licence.

Not sure... I can only have my appeal heard in front of Divisional Court if the FRO waives its right to 30 or 60 (the court wasn't sure how long) days that they have to respond to my perfected appeal.

My only other option, I believe, is to file a motion asking the DC to stay enforcement of the FRO powers pending the hearing of my appeal. The Court, as I understand it, could then order my licence to be reinstated pending the hearing of my appeal in April - which is the next time the DC meets in London.

This letter to be hand delivered later today is delivered ex parte without the knowledge of either party as amicus curie. The attached Motion of Heather Puchala, Counsel for Family Responsibility Office, 1201 Wilson Ave., Bldg B, Downsview, Ontario, M3M 1J8, T: 416-240-2486; F: 416-240-2402: Email Heather.Purchala@ontario.ca dated December 7, 2011 and Affidavit of David Hatwick of the city of Toronto is an employed by the Director Family Responsibility Office (FRRO) as an enforcement officer under s. 3 of Family Responsibility and Support Arrears Enforcement Act was sworn on December 8, 2011, before Heather Puchala, Lawyer and Commissioner for taking Oaths and Affidavit. These documents were emailed to me by Mr. Charlton and I have reasons to believe that they are true copies excluding the missing exhibits to the affidavit.

In Paragraph 9 David Hartwick states: A Confirmation of appeal of Bradley Charlton was copied from the court file 1898/11. It confirmed that a motion will be proceed on November 25, 2011 for a hearing on the reinstatement of the driver’s license of Bradley Charlton. It referees the presiding judge to the Appeal book and Copendium, the Exhibits book and the Factum of Bradley James Charlton. It does not appear that any hearing occurred November 25, 2011.

Attached is copy of email exchanges between Mr. Charlton and myself between November 22 and 23 and because of the error on the email timing on my computer I have reasons to believe and verily believe that all those email were sent and received on the 22nd of November 2011. I have known Mr. Charlton for some five years and visited him on a number of occasions and if he states that he has served those documents, he did.

If on the face of those documents it is demonstrated that Family Responsibility Office did not abide by the decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal regarding the suspension of his licence, then the Divisional Court was duty bound to reinstate it pending the disposition of this appeal scheduled for sometime in April 2012. As Chief Justice of Ontario you should direct the Chief Justice of Ontario Court of Justice who will direct a Judge hear the motion on behalf of the Divisional Court to refer the conduct of lawyer Heather Puhala to the Law Society of Upper Canada because he has violated his duty as an officer of the Court.

This letter will be sent to the Madame Chief Justice Heather Smith and copy to the member of the Canadian Judicial Council and be part of my blog Access to Justice http://accesstojustice70.blogspot.com the exclusions of the documents.

Past Family Law Corruption

After writing to Ontario Chief Justice Warren Winkler of the Ontario Court of Appeal and Madame Chief Justice Heather Smith of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in the form of aniicus curie regarding a motion that a lawyer was bringing before the Divisional Court on Tuesday, December 20, 2011, it was later brought to my attention that I have been appointed as one of the administrator of a facebook group Past Family Law Corruption that was just being started by an associate which I met on a number of rallies held on Capitol Hill, Washington, DC. I addressed both the 2010 rally and a rally held earlier this year in which I had also taken part in a congressional education panel sponsored by Congresswoman Fudge of Ohio. It was indeed an honor to be part of another American Organization If anyone wants to get involves in Past Family Law Corruption you can get started at the following link

ACCESS TO JUSTICE BLOG REACTIVATED

On June 5, 2009, I published my first blog entitled Access to Justice According to Guy Babineau in this first blog I provided a link to the transcript of my September 14, 2006 oral presentation before the Standing Committee on Justice Policy when Bill 14—Access to Justice Act, 2006 was hearing public submissions. The link to my presentations is found at:

http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/committee-proceedings/committee_transcripts_details.do?locale=en&Date=2006-09-14&ParlCommID=7429&BillID=284&Business=14#P892_256087
When the government refused to address the concerns that I an other were raising, I brought an application for judicial review before the Divisional Court to put in question the government action and the role that the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario was duty bound to play pursuant to constitutional dictate that place a restriction on his exercise of discretion to assent the Bill into law. My application for judicial review is found at:

http://www.pscanada.ca/main/content/view/15/1/

On October 9, 2009, A.C.J.S.C. Cunningham in an oral ruling dismissed my application (Swinton and Smith JJ. concurring). The link to that decision is http://canlii.ca/t/264hp

Being hard of hearing, I had requested the assistance of a real time captioning who was also a court staff that acted as court reporter but came late and could the audio for the court reporting were not setup during the hearing and she lack the experience and expertise to properly address my need. Her lack of the appropriate understanding of the French language made in impossible for her to transcribe what was said by Mr. Justice Smith when he address me in that language. Normally I receive upon request copy of the captioning report but the Divisional Court has refused to provide it to me. The lack of audio recording of the proceeding make it impossible for me to demonstrate that the Judges did not take into account all relevant factors in reaching their ruling as mandated by the Supreme Court of Canada. I would question the accuracy of the captioning report and that is probably amongst the reasons that the Divisional Court has refused to provide me with copy of that captioning report that has never been refused to me by provincial tribunals.

Base on this I refused to appeal that decision to the Court of Appeal because that Court can refuse leave without reasons and the policy of the Supreme Court is not to interfere with that discretionary exercise except in one instances when the Supreme Court was caught with its pans down because the Manitoba Court of Appeal had granted leave to appeal from a lower court decision while the Quebec Court of Appeal had refused to grant leave when similar issues were before the Court.

NOW HARRY KOPYTO IS CHALLENGING THE LAW SOCIETY OF UPPER CANADA AND LAWYERS’S VICTIMS STAHD BEFIND HIS QUEST FOR AFFORDABLE JUSTICE BY SEEKING TO BREAK LAWYERS MONOPOLY

Harry Kopyto was disbarred in 1989 and the reasons for his disbarment will come clear as he is force to establish his good character as he is seeking to be grandfathered in as a paralegal. He questioned the Brights Panel on constitutional grounds and her panel refused to address the matter.

Even though the Supreme Court of Canada has rule that the first prerequisite in the exercise of discretion must be that the court establish its jurisdiction. He brought an application for judicial review and the Divisional Court refused to entertain his application. http://canlii.ca/t/fnlm6

Unlike me Kopyto is seeking leave to appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal in his motion he is seeking the following:

1. An order granting leave to appeal from the decision of the Divisional Court sitting in Toronto made October 11, ,2011 dismissing the Applicant motion for an order for mandamus with certiorari in aid;
2. Cost for this motion;
3. Such further and other order as this Honourable Court may deemed just.

Razes the following three grounds;

1. The Divisional Court erred in law by failing to grant the mandamus application to have the Law Society hearing Panel deal with a jurisdictional challenge to its legal authority to adjudicate;
2. The learned Divisional Court erred in law by finding that the Panel rightly concluded that it could not deal with the matter because of institutional incompetence.
3. Such further and other grounds as counsel may advise and this Honourable Court may permit.
Very interesting motion indeed considering various Supreme Court ruling that the Divisional Court seems to have ignored.

As a footnote It was Swinton, J (concurred by Hoy and Lauwers JJ. who delivered the oral judgment a Judge that concurred with A.C.J.S.C Cunningham in my application.

Kopyto further protected himself by filing a Statement of Claim with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. His Statement of Claim is far reaching but took a some one different approach as I did in my application for judicial review.

A. An order for a declaration that By-law 4 of the Law Society Act and the Law Society decisions and actions pursuant to such bylaw constitute an anti competitive act” as defined by section 78(1) of the federal Competition Act;
B. An order for a declaration that the LAW Society has abused its dominant position as defined under the federal Competition Act by restricting access to justice as a result of it assumption of regulatory jurisdiction over the paralegal profession;
C. An order for a declaration that the Law Society has acted in bad faith in its administration of its jurisdiction over the paralegal profession by reason of a conflict of interest.
D. An order for a declaration that By-law 4 of the Law Society Act restricting paralegals’ scope of practice is inconsistent with the enabling statute and has had the effect of frustrating rather that promoting the public interest;
E. An order for a declaration that the impugned By law 4 and all acts, decision and promulgations of the Law Society in the exercise of its jurisdiction over the paralegal profession be declared to be of no force and effect, or in alternatively, inapplicable to the extent that it violates the constitutional right of access to affordable justice,
F. Such further and other relief as to this Honourable Court may seem just.


Panel Blights might just get what she asked for buy refusing to abide by constitutional dictates setout in section 29 of Magna Carta; that is that “We will sell to no man , we will not deny or defer to any man either justice or rights.” He refusal to address the concerns raised by Kopyto might be in flagrant contravention to her mandated duty if reference is made to the confirmation of the great Charter of 1297 etc. where it is stipulated “Know ye that we, to the honour of God and of Holy Church, and to the profit of our realm, have granted for us and our heirs, that the Charter of liberties . . . which were made by common assent of King Henry our father, shall be kept in every point without breach. . . . 3. and that our justices, sheriffs, mayors, and other ministers, which old under us have the law of our land to guide, shall allow the said charters pleaded before them in judgment in all their points that it is to wit, the Great Charter as the common law, . . . for the wealth of our realm.”

Then comes what ought to have guided Panel Chair Blights: “And we will, that if any judgment be given from henceforth contrary to the points of the charters aforesaid y justices, or any other our ministers that hold plea before ten against the points of the charters, it shall be undone, and holden for noughts,”

In Canada there is a sense that Judges feels that they are above the law since 1965, I have appeared before a number of provincial and federal board and tribunals both here in Ontario and in my native province of New Brunswick including the Superior Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Divisional Court of Ontario and its Court of Appeal not to forget both levels of the Federal Courts of Canada including the Supreme Court of Canada and I can count on a few hands figures the number of those appearance but only count ion the one finger a Judges before whom I have appeared and that it was a New Brunswick appellate Judge on of three I found to be law abiding the other two were off the mark that. I even had a judge tell me in the Ontario that I had no right and to set down. If there would have been media presence in the Court, I would have left the Court and brought an appeal to bring him to his sense but did not want to run the risk of being thrown in jail in contempt as a result of his contemptuous disregards of my rights. A sad reality for an person who is not a lawyer and his legal mind has not been corrupted by the law schools of this country to be denied justice.

I will return on a later day in order to demonstrate the assertions that I have just referred above. Most of my involvements were as a self-represented to demonstrate the flawed in our judicial system. Since I was self represented my income did not increase on the basis of judicial stupidities and their failure to properly address frivolous and vexatious motion to deprive a person of limited means to access justice. Judges were once lawyers and that is how they accumulated their fortune and they would be stupid to do away with the status quo that made them rich before being called to the bench.

This leads me to the lead Law Society investigator currently on the stand. And quote from a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in which Kopyto was one of the lawyers for the appellant Dawson [1983] 2 S.C.R. http://canlii.ca/t/1txhw A unanimous court decision delivered by Lamer J., as he then was (Laskin C.J. and
Dickson, Estey, McIntyre, Choinard, Lamer and Wilson JJ. conncuring)

What is telling here is found at page 146:

“On June 26, 1980, a new information was laid and received. It charged an officer of the R.C.M.P with forgery, uttering false documents and conveying false message contrary to ss. 326(1), 330 and 324 of the Criminal Code. The hearing was under s. 455.3 was again adjourned. and eventually resumed on October 30, 1980. At this time, counsel for the Attorney General of Ontario, pursuant to s. 508 of the Code, directed the clerk of the court to make an entry on the record that the proceedings by the direction of the Attorney General. His Worship Justice of the Peace
Allen refused the appellant’s application for an adjournment and discontinued the proceedings.

In allowing the appeal, the learned Lamer, J, as he then was stated at page 158. “For these reason I would allow the appeal, and order that a mandamus issue and be directed to his Worship Justice of Peace Allen to proceed with a hearing pursuant to s. 455.3 of the Criminal Code on the nine charges contained in the information of the appellant Dowson.

Could the Blights panel be a case revisited if the matter was to reach the Supreme Court of Canada given the unanimous Supreme Court of Canada has overruled Ontario High Court of Justice Montgomery J. December 5, 1980 ruling (1980), 57 C.C.C. (2d) 286, 19 C.R. (3d) 384and Ontario C.J. Howland unanimous September 16, 1981ruling (1981) 62 C.C.C . 286, 24 C.R.. (3d) 139 (Martin and Lacoircière JJ.A) on June 1983? Could it be said that there is a similarly conduct between Justice of Peace Allen and Blight as Panel Chair during the present proceedings and how the Divisional Court dealt with Kopyto’s application for judicial review?

It is appalling that the lead investigator setout as moralizing on Kopyto good character when a former police when part of Kopyto character was trying to weed out corrupted police, I need to do more research on this topic. But res assured that I will have more to say.
Needless to say that I had a run-in in Court with the Attorney General who sought to stay the proceedings in question and this case involved a former Judge appointed Ombudsman by his government and he was appointed Judge by John Diefenbaker while Prime Minister and Bill Davis was leading the provincial government. Will also be interesting to see how the Law Society dealt with my concerns regarding this saga not to mention both the Divisional Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal.

Kopyto there is a story to be told and it is not told by the Law Society’s leading investigator. You’re doing a good job putting into evidence his good character as lead investigator.

What is interesting in the Dawson Case is that Ian Scott, Q.C. was one of the lawyer representing the intervener the Canadian Civil Liberties. The only reference to the Canadian Civil Liberties submission is found at page 150: Appellant’s subsidiary submission position supported by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, one whit which I am in agreement and would so find, is that, because a prosecution commences only after the Justice of the Peace has made a decision to issue process, an information has been found only after that decisiom.”

This will prove important later. Ian Scott was served in the Ontario Legislative Assembly from May 2, 1985 to September 28, 1992 and Attorney General from June 26, 1985 to October 1, 1990.

Although Ian Scott appeared as one of the counsels for Intervenant, Canadian Civil Liberties Association before the Court of Appeal, no reference was made to any of his submission before that court and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association did not intervene before the Ontario High Court of Justice.

Ian Scott would have been hard press to accede to Kopyto’s request to have him crime of overbilling Legal Aid because the Law Society admitted that Legal Aid had paid his bill in full in accordance with the billing practice. Having cleared any such charges, Ian Scott would have been duty bound pursuant to his mandated functions under the Law Society Act to set the two Law Society’s goons who had disbarred him under false pretense straight and to reinstate his licence most probably under some supervision of his billing practice for a time.

Not only Kopyto had demonstrated that he was a thorn in the police side and members of the Law Society who modus operndie to blink their client as much as they can by bringing frivilous and vexatios motion before the Court and the Court reluctance to address that contempteous conduct. Now wonder Kopyto has so much fun in picking hold in the lead law society’s investigator a former police because maybe he has a personal axe to grind with Harry’s exposing policing dubious conduct.

At least the United States convincted Kapone of tax evasion the Law Society could not even convinct Kopyto of overbilling legal aid base on its lead investigaators admission under croas examination. A more trangression of justice yet to be seen at the hand of those responsible for protecting public interest.
