   TURMEL: Crown 3-month timetable unacceptable, 2-weeks better   
      
   JCT: I rejected the Crown's suggested timetable that would   
   have our hearing sometime in August. I want it in May.

        re: John Turmel v. HMTQ T-130-21   
      
   Further to the Court's April 26, 2021, Direction in the   
   above-noted matter, you wrote to propose the following   
   deadlines for Canada's motion to strike and for security for   
   costs under Rule 369:   
      
   -  Service and filing of Canada's Notice of Motion and   
   Affidavits: May 25 (+20 days from May 5)   
   -  Service and filing of the Plaintiff's Affidavits: June 14   
   (+20 days)   
   -  Cross-examinations on affidavits: June 24 (+10 days)   
   -  Service and filing of Canada's Motion Record: July 9 (+15   
   days)   
   -  Service and filing of the Plaintiff's Responding Record:   
   July 26 (+15 days)   
   -  Service and filing of Canada's Reply Submissions: August   
   2 (+7 days)   
      
   From May 5 to Aug 2 is almost 3 months before a hearing can   
   be slated. Rule 369 mandates a 2-week timetable.   
      
   https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-98-106/FullText.html   
       Motions in writing   
       369 (1) A party may, in a notice of motion, request that   
       the motion be decided on the basis of written   
       representations.   
       (2) A respondent to a motion brought in accordance with   
       subsection (1) shall serve and file a respondent's   
       record within 10 days..   
       (3) A moving party may serve and file written   
       representations in reply within four days after being   
       served with a respondent's record under subsection (2).   
       (4) On the filing of a reply under subsection (3) or on   
       the expiration of the period allowed for a reply, the   
       Court may dispose of a motion in writing or fix a time   
       and place for an oral hearing of the motion.   
      
   Your 3 month timetable does not follow the rules. I want to   
   go with the timetable in Rule 369. The same S.369 you   
   followed in the Ethier motion to appeal the stay. He served   
   you on April 19, you filed your response on April 29 and   
   Ethier will file his Reply in 4 days, tomorrow Monday!   
      
   20 days to file your motion is unacceptable when you've   
   already had the Statement of Claim for 15 weeks now. You   
   should not need another 3 weeks. I want the Court to give   
   you 3 days. Or you can consent and get it done.   
      
   And then we follow the steps in Rule 369. Nothing less.   
   Forget taking 3 months when it can be sent to the judge in   
   under 2 weeks.   
      
   I insist on following the rules and if you don't, you'll   
   have to explain to the judge why you need another   
   dispensation from following the rules.   
      
   We follow the rules after you file your motion to strike.   
   How long you get to file depends on your pleading.   
      
   You really shouldn't let the judge make a mistake that you   
   'an be sure I will be appealing. Not going by the rules   
   again will get maximum resistance.   
      
   Dated at Brantford on Sunday May 2 2021.
