   TURMEL: Crown consents to McConnell Certiorari to Superior Court   
      
   JCT: Tim McConnell was in Quebec Superior Court in Gatineau   
   trying to over-rule Judge Millar's refusal to annul the   
   election made by his lawyer Michel Swanston early on and   
   have the file removed to Superior Court for trial by judge   
   and jury.   
      
   He's sought Triple Extraordinary Remedy: Mandamus (ordering   
   Millar to rule on the Quash below); Prohibition (delay any   
   Preliminary Inquiry below mooted when the Superior motion   
   was stalled and they held it below anyway); and Certiorari   
   (removing the case to a higher court).   
      
   If Certiorari is granted, no need for the other two. If not,   
   then need for the other two. He got the good information   
   that the Crown had consented to his annulment. They should   
   have told Judge Millar when he originally asked.   
      
   The ruling of Madam Justice Carole Therrien:   
      
   1. Considering the fact that Mr. Timothy McConnell had his   
   preliminary inquiry on Jan 5 2018 and an order to stand   
   trial was ordered;   
      
   2. Considering the fact that, on Jan 5 2018, Mr. Timothy   
   McConnell expressed his intention to re-elect before judge   
   and jury after the audition of the preliminary inquiry;   
      
   3. Considering that the Crown has no objection to the   
   exercise of this re-election;   
      
   4. Considering that the Superior Court takes notice of the   
   new choice of the accused;   
      
   JCT: Skipped the part where they set aside the decision of   
   Judge Millar refusing the allow the annulment and   
   re-election.   
      
   5. Considering the above facts, This court:   
      
   Orders The Registration of the election to judge and jury in   
   the file 550-01-090787-168.   
      
   Remands the case to the next opening of the jury session on   
   April 6th 2018;   
      
   Declares that the petitioner's motion has no more object and   
   is therefore dismissed.   
      
   JCT: Granting the Certiorari to over-rule Judge Millar's   
   dismissal of his motion to annul his election didn't really   
   come out clearly, almost sounds like the motion lost, but   
   only after what it asked for was granted. Sneaky but she did   
   find a way to get Judge Millar out of the embarrassing   
   situation the Crown let her get into.   
      
   So Tim's motion to move the trial from lower court to higher   
   court was effected even if the motion was dismissed. All now   
   on track.
