   TURMEL: Covid Resistance judge offers choice to be left out   
      
   JCT: At the last hearing of the Original Ten Covid   
   Resistance Plaintiffs, Case Management Judge ("CMJ") Aylen   
   gave them the choice of being stayed pending the result in   
   my file and not getting any info or remaining in action and   
   participating in everything.   
      
   Back in 2014. there were almost 400 self-represented   
   plaintiffs who attended the hearing of the motion to strike   
   our claims like the Crown wants to do here. I made the   
   main arguments and Justice Phelan invited any others to   
   comment too. After the MMPR regime was struck down in the   
   Allard case, he ruled ours had been mooted and dismissed   
   them with no costs. Some who appealed and later lost got his   
   with costs from the Court of Appeal (around $500) but most   
   did not appeal and lost their original $2 filing fee.   
      
   In 2017, for another group, a lead plaintiff was appointed   
   which allowed the Crown to not keep them apprised of what   
   was going on. I told our CMJ that I didn't want that   
   happening again and insisted the Crown keep those apprised   
   whom they did not have to serve the motion on! But the Crown   
   refused and the CMJ wouldn't order them to.   
      
   When asked, a few said they would be stayed, a few said not,   
   and a few wanted more time to decide. So Mar 18 to decide,   
   Mar 24 for Crown to argue they should be stayed, Mar 29 for   
   us to argue we don't want to be, like the Phelan group.   
      
   And CMJ allowed people to change their minds!   
      
   So, I have to advise plaintiffs to oppose being stayed and   
   to make the Crown serve a personal copy of a motion on each   
   individual plaintiff. I tried to make it easy on them but   
   now I'm for making it hard on them now that they chose to   
   make it hard on us.   
      
   For those who have a choice to register, you only have to   
   send an email to Case Management Judge Aylen at   
      
   fc_reception_cf@cas-satj.gc.ca   
      
   with copies to   
      
   benjamin.wong2@justice.gc.ca  and me   
   johnturmel@yahoo.com   
      
   If you said you don't mind being cut out of the proceedings   
   until your case is dismissed if the Crown motion to strike   
   as frivolous, then agree to be stayed pending result.   
      
   If you want to get copies of everything and attend any more   
   hearings, just say you oppose being stayed.   
      
   I don't see how being cut out of everything is going to be   
   much fun. It should be quite the show and wouldn't you like   
   another two Gold Stars, one on their motion to strike and   
   the other on any Judgment. And then Appeal to a Judge, and   
   then appeal to 3 judges, and then to 9 at the top.   
      
   This is only for the Original Ten. I don't know what she's   
   going to ask the next 50 to do unless she stays no one and   
   doesn't have to ask.
