Re:  seeking leave-to-appeal to the SCC (Supreme Court of Canada), R v Finley

1. SCC Objective Summary Sep2013

As at Sept 30, 2013,

this two-paragraph Summary of the issue in my trial has the potential to decide whether we have the Charter Right to Privacy of personal information, or not.

2.   MY RESPONSE TO THE SUMMARY

The Summary is misleading.  The reasons why are in  To lawyer re SCC Objective Summary.

Lawyer Steve responded:

–  The way I understand it, this is an ongoing process.

–  I have contacted the SCC to see whether we can get the summary changed.

– – – – – – – – – –

The Objective Summary was prepared by a lawyer who works for the Supreme Court.

It will be given to the Panel of 3 Justices to aid their decision whether leave-to-appeal in my case, R vs Finley, is granted.

3.    SCC Referral to Panel Sep2013

Names the 3 Justices who will decide whether leave-to-appeal is granted.  One of them is Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin for whom I have respect, we’ve referred to her work in a number of postings (for years she has been telling the Judges and Lawyers that they have to reform the Justice system).

 

4.    Canadian Law, the Charter Right to Privacy

Effectively, this will be lost, if I lose the court case:

In fostering the underlying values of dignity, integrity and autonomy, it is fitting that s. 8 of the Charter should seek to protect a biographical core of personal information which individuals in a free and democratic society would wish to maintain and control from dissemination to the state.”

(I was found guilty of non-compliance with the Statistics Act;  I did not fill in and return the 2006 Census Long Form with its 50+ questions, many of them personal.  Lockheed Martin Corp (the American military) is involved in the StatsCan data base.)

5.  It is more than the Charter Right.  Please see “What is at Stake?”  in

I need your critical thoughts!  (Census Lockheed Martin, trial, appeal to Supreme Court).

It documents the intrustion into Canadian affairs of the American power elite and their desire to have access to personal records on Canadians.

 

  One Response to “Census Lockheed Martin Trial: The Supreme Court Documents”

  1. Some comments are posted on “I need your critical thoughts . . . “.

    Email input from another lawyer:

    My understanding and my experience at the court of appeal is that they read all the material.

    I would worry about a summary influencing how they see the case.
