TURMEL: Court gives Crown 30 days to hop to Christian Berman's permit
JCT: Richard Harton is helping Christian Berman get his
permit.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.fan.john-turmel/GdngeGP3G9o
is my post: "Crown misses Response deadline for Christian
Berman MedPot Permit."
They didn't miss their deadline, they'd filed it on the
wrong file number. The Crown repeats:
On Aug 24 2018, Health Canada got his application for his
marijuana permit.
On Oct 18 2018, because there were still 4 licenses at the
site, they sent a letter of intent to refuse.
On Dec 12 2018, One of the other licenses filed an
application to amend by moving.
On Nov 30, after 3.5 months, he filed a Statement of Claim
T-2060-18 in Montreal.
On Dec 12 2018, H.C. granted the application to move.
On Dec 20 2018, H.C. resumed its review of Berman's
application.
On Jan 21 2019, after 7 more weeks, he filed a Motion for an
interim remedy of constitutional exemption.
Judge Brown directed that:
"The Defendant is to file a response by January 28,
2019. The Plaintiff is to file a reply by February 5,
2019."
On Jan 28, 2019, the Crown filed their response saying:
Health Canada had became aware of information that
suggests the Plaintiff's registration may pose a risk to
public health and safety and anticipates a decision in
the coming weeks.

Dear Sir/Madam:
Re: Berman v. HMTQ No.: T-2060-18
Further to the Direction of Case-Management Judge Brown
dated Jan 22 2019, please accept this letter as the Reply of
the Applicant for interim relief.
Applicant applied to grow marijuana for medical purposes on
August 24 2018 while the proposed site was still occupied by
4 other licensees.
On Oct 18 2018, the Ministry issued a Notice of Intent to
Refuse.
On Dec 12 2018, the Ministry received an amendment
application to move from one of the other licensees.
On Dec 20 2018, the review of the plaintiff's application
was resumed.
Health Canada is now reviewing information that suggests
plaintiff's registration "may pose a risk to public health
and safety."
Health Canada has had the application for 18 weeks since
August 24 2018 and it is now 7 weeks since the resumption of
the review on the undefined suspicion of risk.
Defendant states:
Plaintiff has not established that he is entitled to the
registration certificate, such that there is no legal
duty to issue the registration.
Plaintiff is seeking interlocutory recognition of a right
not currently enjoyed" after Plaintiff's doctor established
that he is entitled to the registration certificate and the
Defendant has failed to establish that he is not.
Defendant has had 18 weeks to find and detail a risk to
public health in order to issue an intent to refuse. When it
cannot define that risk for the court after 7 more weeks of
research, Applicant therefore still seeks interim remedy
despite Health Canada's undefined risk.
That Health Canada has the wherewithal to determine that
there were 4 licenses at the site but has delayed the
applications of other plaintiffs until they proved that
there were not over four when we now see Health Canada could
have checked themselves all along does indicate the
possibility of another bad faith excuse to stall.
Dated at Montreal on Feb 5 2019.
