      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              TURMEL: Terry Parker Reply to Crown on Phelan Exemption Nix              JCT: Terry Parker filed an appeal against the Jun 4 2014       decision of Federal Court Justice Phelan that dismissed the       all motions of 275 applicants for any interim exemptions for       Personal Medical Use pending trial of their actions. The       Crown responded why Terry shouldn't any meds:       https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.fan.john-turmel/jclYdKnB5n0              This is his reply being filed this morning. Now a judge       decides whether Terry gets protection.                      File No: A-287-14        FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL       BETWEEN:        TERRANCE PARKER        Appellant        And        HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN        Respondent               APPELLANT'S REPLY              1. This is a motion for an interim exemption from the       prohibitions on marijuana in the CDSA for Personal Medical       Use pending an appeal of the stay of the action seeking a       constitutional declaration below.              2. The Crown's response raises the following issues:       A) Is an interim exemption declaratory relief?       B) No Jurisdiction for interim relief?       C) Omitting Personal Medical Use v. "Without Limitation?       D) Exemption Inappropriate?       E) Suspended Declaration before interim relief?       F) No previous right?       G) Insufficient evidence of medical need?       H) Unaffordability for Parker too?       I) Parker did not seek physician approval?              A) IS EXEMPTION DECLARATORY RELIEF?              3. The Crown has argued:        CR: 12... pending the outcome of his appeal. In essence,        the Appellant asks this Court for an interlocutory        declaration that the CDSA provisions infringe his        Charter Right and do not apply to him until such time as        his appeal is decided...        15. Moreover, even were declaratory relief available        from this court, it is well established that declaratory        remedies are not available on an interlocutory basis.        16. The constitutionality of the MMPR is the central        issue in the Appellant's action. The Appellant now        effectively asks this Court to rule on that central        constitutional issue on an interlocutory basis, without        the benefit of full evidentiary record or trial. The        request is entirely inappropriate.              4. I am NOT appealing for interim declaratory relief, I am       appealing the stay of my action below that seeks such       declaratory relief. No declaratory relief is sought here,       only for protection from the CDSA prohibitions while it is       argued below that the MMAR-MMPR exemption regimes have       failed me. There is no motion to this Court to rule on that       central constitutional issue on an interlocutory basis at       all. The interim exemption from threat to life is the       central issue in the Appellant's motion above, the       constitutional issue raised in the action below is not.              B) NO JURISDICTION              5. The Crown further argued:        CR: 13. The requested relief is not available from this        Court. S.18 and 28 of the Federal Court Act set out the        declaratory powers of the Federal Courts. S.18 provides        that declaratory relief against only a "federal board,        commission, or other tribunal" and provides the Federal        Court with "exclusive jurisdiction" to issue such        relief, save and except where the board, commission or        other tribunal is among those listed in s.28, in which        case, jurisdiction rests with the Federal Court of        Appeal.        14. The Appellant's request for declaratory relief is        not directed at a federal board, commission or other        tribunal, let alone one listed in s.28.              6. The Federal Court Act states:       27. (1) An appeal lies to the Federal Court of Appeal from       any of the following decisions of the Federal Court,       (c) an interlocutory judgment; or       (d) a determination on a reference made by a federal board,       commission or other tribunal or the Attorney General of       Canada.              7. I am appealing under (c), not (d).              8. The Crown argued:        CR: This Court is accordingly without jurisdiction to        grant Appellant's motion.              9. The Federal Court Rules say:       1.1 (1) These Rules apply to all proceedings in the Federal       Court of Appeal and the Federal Court unless otherwise       provided by or under an Act of Parliament.       373. (1) On motion, a judge may grant an interlocutory       injunction.              C) OMIT "PERSONAL MEDICAL USE" FOR INAPPROPRIATENESS              10. The Crown argued:        CR: 1. The Appellant seeks an "interim constitutional        exemption" from the CDSA pending his appeal of an        interlocutory decision of the case management judge.              11. Also, the Crown omits the limit "for Personal Medical       Use" in paras. 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, twice in 17. Then:        CR: 6. With respect to the plaintiff' interlocutory        motions for CDSA exemptions pending trial of their        actions, Canada submitted that the Federal Court (Manson        J.) had rejected a similar request for interim relief in        Allard, and that doctrines of judicial comity and abuse        of process required that the plaintiffs' motions be        similarly dismissed.        20. In fact, the Federal Court expressly rejected the        Allard plaintiffs' request for an interim exemption              12. The Crown omitted the limit "For Personal Medical Use"       each time it cited the exemption I seek and omitted "without       limitation" each time it cited the Allard exemption sought       and refused. With both qualifiers omitted, they would seem       to be both equally inappropriate. Without the omissions,       Personal Medical Use is quite not "without limitation."              D) EXEMPTION INAPPROPRIATE              13. The Crown argued:        CR: 9. By further Order dated June 4 2014, Phelan J.        dismissed the plaintiffs' motions for interim relief. In        doing so, the Court noted that the CDSA exemption sought        was "inappropriate" as it was insufficiently tailored to        the Charter violations alleged by the plaintiffs.              14. Appellant has cited being exempted under an identical       limit for Personal Medical Use before. An interim exemption       for Personal Medical Use is not inappropriate.              E) SUSPENDED DECLARATION FIRST BEFORE INTERIM RELIEF              15. The Crown argued:        CR: 17. The Appellant notes that the Ontario Court of        Appeal has granted him an interim exemption once before,        and submits that the same relief must therefore be        available here. The decision cited is inapposite. The        interim personal constitutional exemption granted to the        Appellant was issued pursuant to S.24(1) of the Charter,              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
