|    TURMEL: Crown Kutynec motion to dismiss     |
|    15 Jun 13 06:54:59    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              TURMEL: Crown Kutynec motion to dismiss Spottiswood without hearing              JCT: Here's the parsing of the Crown's Factum in their       "Kutynec" motion in respect of insufficienty of the       Constitutional Motion and have both Quash and Constitutional       dismissed without hearing.              Applicant should ask that the plural "s" be struck from the       Insufficiency of Constitutional Challenge" request to       dismiss both "the applications."              We'll first look at her motion to dismiss both applications       without a hearing, the "Kutynec" motion:               SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE        (Southwest Region, sitting at London, Ontario)       Between:        HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN        Respondent        and        Michael Kevin Spottiswood        Applicant               RESPONDENT'S FACTUM:        IN RESPECT OF THE INSUFFICIENCY OF        THE NOTICE OF CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION              JCT: Notice it is in respect only of the insufficiency of       the Constitutional MMAR Challenge, not the S.601 Quash CDSA       Challenge, but has asked that they both be dismissed. Guess       not asking for it will mean they can't have it so the plural       "s" should be stricken.              CR: PART I - STATEMENT OF THE CASE              Michael Spottiswood found himself charged with production       and possession of cannabis marihuana for the purpose of       trafficking... growing 377 plants and 544 grams of bud and       12 grams of resin. At the time, he was not authorized.              In a generic pre-printed Application found on the Internet,       he challenges the constitutionality of the MMAR and argues       that S.4 and S.7 of the CDSA are of no force or effect THAT       S.4 AND S.7 OF THE CDSA ARE OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT because       Parker found flaws in the medical marijuana provisions.              JCT:       JCT: In two generic pre-printed Applications... And because       Parker found there were no medical marijuana provisions.       Parker did not find flaws in the "no medical provisions       yet." Hitzig found flaws in the medical provisions.              CR: The Application before the Court is not particularized       and provides no evidentiary support for the more than 23       complaints he makes; moreover he has not established the       public interest necessary to proceed.              JCT: Mernagh didn't have to either. And they deny receiving       my Expert Affidavit and we checked it's in the court file.              CR: The Respondent is unable to fully prepare and properly       respond to the Application and seeks an Order dismissing the       same.              JCT: The Respondent would be unable to fully prepare and       properly respond if there was no Affidavit, yes. With       Affidavit, it is really that they are unable to prepare or       respond at all! They'll never find a Math Prof to contradict       me. I'm Canada's most court-accredited expert witnesses in       my field!              CR: SUMMARY OF THE FACTS              2. The Applicant has filed a "Notice of Application for       Constitutional Issues Pursuant to S.8(2) of the       Constitutional Question Act" in the Ontario Court of Justice       on June 14 2011.              3. The Notice was not particularized; it was a precedent       with blanks that needed to be filled in. The precedent       itself, from "Turmel's Anti-Marijuana kit recommend the       following:       "While you are waiting, find a doctor and apply for a Health       Canada exemption for anything that ails you. Now that you're       in the fight, your doctor is your ticket not only out of       your court predicament but also into your life of no-hassle       access to your medication."              JCT: They left out the rest of the paragraph:       "Derek Francisco's grow was busted and after he had proven       he had a legitimate medical need by getting a Health Canada       exemption, his charges were withdrawn, equipment and       medicine all returned. Just prove you were sick at the time       of the bust by getting medically qualified and your problems       are over."              CR: 5. A further amended Notice was filed on Dec 20 2012.       The blanks were filled in, the level of the court was       identified, the accused's name was set out along with his       contact particulars, and the Respondent and her contact       particulars were added.              JCT: Okay, so particulars now provided.              CR: No evidentiary basis for the Application was set out,       nor did the Applicant address his standing to bring public       interest litigation.              JCT: STRIKE "No evidentiary basis.." and it's the same       standing as Parker, Krieger, Mernagh, that of facing jail.              CR: 6. The Constitutional Questions Act is not legislation       from Ontario but legislation from British Columbia. The       Courts of Justice Act is the relevant legislation dealing       with constitutional issues.              JCT: We agree. If it's been mislabeled, let's label it       right. Now, so what?              CR: 7. The Respondent submits that the Application filed by       the Applicant is deficient.              JCT: Particulars added, what deficiency?              CR: The Respondent brought this to the Applicant's attention       verbally, by letter, and in submissions on the record,              JCT: What's exactly was "this?" brought to our attention?              CR: to no avail.              JCT: Yes, she argued deficiency before Justice Goodman to no       avail and he did not grant their motions to strike any of       the heads of relief claimed. Nor did the Amicus Curiae       suggest any heads of relief that were inappropriate.              CR: Neither a Case Management Judge, nor Amicus Curiae,       appointed to assist the court by reviewing the materials       filed and offering legal advice to the Applicant, were able       to convince the Applicant of the insufficiency of his       materials.              JCT: Mike wasn't the judge of the insufficiency of the       materials, the Case Management Judge was. The Amicus       presented no arguments on any insufficiency and the Crown's       arguments were unable to convince the judge of any       insufficiency!              CR: Transcript Dec 13 2012 P13 L17-26 P14 L14-17 and L29-31              JCT: So what are these deficiencies from Page 13 L17-26?              P13L17-26: Johnson: I would request the medical records of       all the witnesses... There's no supporting affidavit.. I'd       like to know the application history in respect of their       medical licenses.              JCT: No, what illness they have is none of her business.       They are testifying on their experiences with the MMAR once       they have qualified for an exemption. There is a supporting       affidavit! And the exemption information is being provided       by her own Health Canada witness. So the deficiencies are no       medical files she's not entitled to, no Expert Affidavit       that happens to be sitting in the court file, and no files       that Health Canada has to provide. Har har har har har har.              P14L14-17: It's not particularized or explained, I don't              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
