   JCT: With Mike Spottiswood's Appeal filed and ready to go,

   the Crown had to prepare the Appeal Book and their Factum   
   for the upcoming appeal hearing on Oct 23 explaining why   
   neither the Ontario Court of Justice nor the Superior Court   
   of Justice had jurisdiction to return his mobility machine.   
   (think seized wheelchair).   
      
   Mike is arguing that since both judges wanted to return his   
   vehicle to him, that either one or the other had to have   
   jurisdiction to do so. And he wants his auto back now.   
      
   So the Crown has tried to duck the issue, though a little   
   too late it seems. Har har har har:

   UPON THE APPLICATION of the Attorney General pursuant to   
   S.490(9) of the Criminal Code with respect to the following   
   property seized as offence-related property:   
   - 1999 Honda Accord bearing VIN 2HG...   
   (hereinafter referred to as "the property")   
      
   AND UPON BEING SATISFIED that the property is no longer   
   required for the purposes of any proceeding under the   
   Criminal Code or the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act;   
      
   THIS COURT ORDERS that the detention order pertaining to the   
   property be vacated and that the property be released to its   
   lawful owner;   
      
   Dated at London this 28th day of September 2012   
   Jon****k Cer*** (printed!!)   
   Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice   
      
   JCT: So Mike gets his auto back on Oct 28. So here's their   
   conundrum. Mike also got a letter from the Crown advising   
   him his appeal was slated for hearing on Oct 23 2012 to get   
   it back right away and find out which court had   
   jurisdiction.   
      
   The Crown (Christopher Green) has informed the Defence Duty   
   Counsel (Russ Silverstein), but not Mike Spottiswood, that   
   since the Crown are giving the car back, the appeal is now   
   moot and they don't  need to file the Appeal Book nor their   
   Factum.   
      
   So we told the Duty Counsel helping us to inform the Crown   
   that as long as he didn't have the car back, he wanted to   
   forward and get it back on Oct 23, rather than 28th, and   
   thus find out what he paid for, who had jurisdiction. He was   
   adamant that the appeal was mooted and we were adamant that   
   until the car was returned, we were ready to proceed to try   
   to get it back right away and would not be deterred.   
      
   I just want it so that when the Crown sings and dances about   
   how they didn't prepare anything in anticipation of it being   
   declared moot and want an adjournment until it is mooted by   
   his getting his car back, we can point out they were   
   informed Mike was going forward in asking to have the Appeal   
   court rule which judge had power to give him back his auto   
   and for them to do it right away.   
      
   Neat isn't it that they could have given up on the car one   
   week earlier and have no headaches! Har har har har har har.   
   Boy won't Oct 23 be a hot day for the Crown at Osgoode Hall!   
      
   And doesn't it bode well that they're going to finally withdraw, or   
   try to stay his charges after hanging over his head for as   
   long as possible, before his jury trial. Wonder if they'll   
   still continue trying to give his daughter a criminal record   
   for helping her crippled dad move? Anyway, unless they get   
   his car released by Oct 23, he's asking for resolution of   
   his appeal issue whether the Crown prepared for it (having   
   been warned to prepare) or not!
