   TURMEL: Crown wants stay to ponder appealing!!   
      
   JCT: No kidding. My last post: "Crown wants to stall   
   Delay Actions for appeals" at   
   https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.fan.john-turmel/T529idNp_Zk   
      
   She said the Crown was considering whether to file a cross-   
   appeal and wanted a Direction staying the main claims in   
   case they do.   
      
   I hadn't really focused on the funny premature nature of the   
   request but now have. A great chance to cut away her branch   
   of the tree:

   Re: HARRIS, Allan v. Her Majesty the Queen   
   File No.: T-1379-17   
      
   Dear Registrar:   
      
   1. In an Aug 22 2018 letter, Defendant Canada writes:   
       On August 20, 2018, the Plaintiff filed a Notice of   
       Appeal of this Court's July 20, 2018, Order striking   
       paragraphs l(b), 8 and 9 of the Amended Statement of   
       Claim. As a result of the appeal, the Defendant Her   
       Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada ("Canada") is   
       considering whether to cross-appeal of the portion of   
       the July 20, 2018, Order which dismissed the balance of   
       Canada's motion to strike.   
      
   2. The Defendant is in default of filing a Statement of   
   Defence on the A claim not struck from the Amended Statement   
   of Claim against which they are considering a counter-   
   claim.   
      
   3. The Defendant then points out all the advantages that   
   would accrue if they should cross-appeal and asks for a   
   Direction that the proceedings below be stayed in case they   
   do cross-appeal. Can a Defendant in default be asking the   
   Court for a anything at all?   
      
   5. The Defendant has until Aug 30 2018 to decide on whether   
   to cross-appeal.   
      
   6. I will reply once I know whether...

   JCT: Har har har. It's your turn, not mine. I'm not showing   
   you my cards until you show me yours.   
      
   Wonder if Judge Brown will stay the actions below before   
   finding out if the Defendant cross-appeals? Bet not.
