|    TURMEL: Igor Mozajko Appeal Memorandum o    |
|    13 Nov 19 17:36:20    |
      From: johnturmel@gmail.com              JCT: Crown Jon Bricker informed Igor and the Court that he       couldn't attend today's Nov 13 hearing and it's been put       off.              Fascinatingly, the Crown started a special motion to       dismiss against Igor Mozajko and that gave us a second track       to raise the Harris issues when Jeff's was dismissed and       point out their errors at their own level before Jeff takes       the points to the Supreme Court. The funniest point is that       they didn't even deal with the Question of the appeal!!!              Igor filed this last week and Jeff files in the Supreme       Court next week virtually the same arguments!              Court File No.: A-339-18        FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL       BETWEEN:        HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN        Appellant        Respondent in Cross-Appeal        and        IGOR MOZAJKO        Respondent        Cross-Appellant               RESPONDENT/CROSS-APPELLANT SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDUM              PART I - FACTS              1. On Jan 24 2017, Plaintiff obtained a Medical Document       under the ACMPR for an Authorization to grow cannabis for       medical purposes for a period of 6 months.              2. Under the MMAR, the 6-month period began on the Effective       Date the permit was issued. Under the ACMPR, it is back-       dated to the date the doctor signed the medical document.       The Authorization was not processed by the July 24 2017       expiry date of the medical document and I had to obtain a       new medical document and start over.              3. On Sep 02 2017, Applicant submitted a second medical       document for 12 months. After more 4 months, I received the       "1-year" permit effective date Jan 09 2018 that was back-       dated to Sep 02 2017 for expiry on Sep 02 2018. Just over 11       months to get 8 months authorized out of 18 months that were       prescribed. Almost one year gone.              4. On May 31 2013, under the MMAR, the time to process an       application to produce marijuana was touted before Mr.       Justice Roy by Dr. Stephane Lessard, Controlled Substances       and Tobacco Directorate, as "done in under 4 weeks."              5. On Jan 17 2018, I filed a Statement of Claim for (A)       Damages for the undue delay and for (B) Restitution of the       time short-changed. As many others had also filed the same       template, Allan J. Harris was named Lead Plaintiff T-1379-17       by case-management Judge Brown.              6. On Jan 26 2018, after filing a motion to strike the       Statement of Claim of the Lead Plaintiff, the Defendant       filed a motion to strike my Statement of Claim.              7. On March 2 2018, Health Canada reverted to starting the       period of the permits on the date of issuance and no longer       short-changing patients. But patients registered before Mar       2 2018 remained short-changed. I lost over 11 months on my       18-months of medical prescription and sought its restitution       immediately or added to my next permit!              8. On July 20 2018, Justice Brown dismissed the motion to       strike the Harris (A) Damages claim but did strike the (B)       Restitution claim as too trivial for Charter relief.              9. On Oct 2 2018, Judge Brown adopted his reasons for the       Harris decision to allow the (A) Damages claim but strike       the (B) Restitution claim.              10. Harris appealed the dismissal of the claim for the (B)       Restitution and the Defendant cross-appealed the dismissal       of the motion to strike the claim for (A) Damages. In       Mozajko, Defendant appealed the dismissal of the motion to       strike the (A) remedy and Mozajko then cross-appealed the       dismissal of the (B) remedy.              11. Given that the issues raised were the same as those of       Appellant Allan J. Harris (Appeal File No.: A-258-18),       Respondent/Cross-Appellant herein adopted that Memorandum.              12. On Sep 18 2019, the Federal Court of Appeal dismissed       the Harris appeal for (B) Restitution and granted the Crown       appeal to strike his (A) Damages claim.              13. My Respondent/Cross-Appellant's Supplementary Memorandum       deals with issues that may not have been addressed in the       Harris Memorandum.              PART II - ISSUES:              A) RESPONDENT'S REMEDY (A) ISSUES:       1) RIGHT TO GROW ESTABLISHED BY LEGISLATION       2) AFFORDABILITY AND STRAINS ALTERNATIVES       3) INEVITABLE DELAY V. ADDITIONAL DELAY       4) ACMPR v. CANNABIS ACT & REGULATIONS              B) CROSS-APPELLANT'S REMEDY (B) ISSUE:       1) (B) RESTITUTION REMEDY APPEAL WAS NOT ADJUDGED              PART III - ARGUMENTS              A) RESPONDENT'S REMEDY (A) ISSUES:              1) RIGHT TO GROW ESTABLISHED BY LEGISLATION              14. The Harris Court of Appeal stated:        [9] Based on this amended statement of claim, the        Federal Court judge, in paragraph 33 of his reasons,        started with the proposition that Mr. Harris:        has the right to a permit to grow marijuana for        medical purposes if he satisfies the criteria of a        Charter-compliant permit regime established under        the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act [S.C. 1996,        c. 19] and Narcotic Control Regulations [C.R.C., c.        1041]. This right has been confirmed by the Supreme        Court of Canada, in addition to the Federal Court        and various Superior Courts.        [16] Neither party provided any authority that would        support the proposition that Mr. Harris has a        constitutional right to grow his own cannabis.              15. Respondent accepts that no court before Justice Brown       has explicitly declared a right to grow. But on the right to       a permit to grow, the Harris Memorandum on Cross-Appeal       says:        13. Maybe those courts do not so clearly recognize a        constitutional right for patients to produce cannabis        but the new Cannabis Regulations does say the Minister        "must register" an applicant who met the requirements:        Registration with Minister        313(1) If the requirements set out in section 312        are met, the Minister must, subject to section 317,        register the applicant and issue them a        registration certificate.        14. If the Minister must register the qualified        applicant, then the qualified applicant has the right to        what the Minister must do. It's persuasive that the        Allard and Smith Courts interpret "must" in the same        way.              16. Judge Brown is the first court to proclaim an explicit       right to grow which the Minister "must" do for a qualified       patient. That other courts have found only an implicit right       to grow is not persuasive when the legislation itself       clearly enshrines the right to a grow permit.              2) AFFORDABILITY AND STRAINS ALTERNATIVES              17. The Harris Court wrote:        14... There is nothing in his statement of claim to              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
