|    TURMEL: Ray Turmel Replies at Supreme Co    |
|    10 Oct 14 12:13:48    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              Raymond J. Turmel              Oct 11 2014              Supreme Court of Canada       301 Wellington St. Ottawa, K1A 0J1              Re: Ray Turmel v. HMTQ File 36037               REPLY TO RESPONSE TO APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL        (Section 28 of the Supreme Court of Canada Rules)              1. The Respondent has failed to properly distinguish the issues raise       in the appeals below by conflating the last two appeals:              2. CR: The first of those three applications to quash was in fact       rejected mostly for the reason that the applicant was trying to use       S.601 of the Criminal Code to have a constitutional debate over the       charges.              3. The Crown remains fixated on the idea that a Motion to amend an       indictment (to a quash) needs a Notice of No Constitutional Issue to       be heard.              4. CR: The other two applications of the same name were rejected by       the Superior Court because the applicant simply tried to re-apply the       exact same motion over and over again.              5. Only the third Quash Motion was dismissed for stare decisis. The       second Quash Motion had included explanation of how the J.P. judge had       explained that a S.601 motion was not a constitutional issue. So the       second judge dismissed it under the new precedent that only a Trial       Judge could amend an indictment under S.601 of the Criminal Code. Only       the precedents of needing a Notice of Constitutional Question for a       non-constitutional motion and needing the Trial Judge to amend the       indictment are now at issue. The stare decisis issue is not. The Crown       has ducked the "Trial Judge" precedent under appeal by conflating it       with the "Stare Decisis" non-precedent not under appeal.              6. CR: Eventually, on 18 August 2014, Mr. Turmel was acquitted by the       Quebec Provincial Court for his accusation under the CDSA.       Nonetheless, the applicant wishes to carry on with his proceedings       before the Supreme Court citing that: "These precedents contradict       normal court process and now threaten me should such litigation arise       again."              7. Applicant remains threatened by those precedents.              8. CR: The fact remains that neither S.691 of the CDSA or S.40 of the       Supreme Court Act can be used by the Applicant to justify any       proceedings before this Honorable Court regarding the decision of the       Quebec Court of Appeal... S.40 of the Supreme Court Act is to be used       only for a question that is "by reason of public importance or the       importance of any issue of law or any issue of mixed law and fact       involved in that question, one that ought to be decided by the Supreme       Court, or is, for any other reason, of such nature or significance as       to warrant decision by it." It is certainly not the case in the       present file.              9. It certainly is. Can a precedent that contradicts current laws in       the Criminal Code not be the very quintessential "reason of public       importance or the importance of any issue of law, one that ought to be       decided by the Supreme Court, or is, for any other reason, of such       nature or significance as to warrant decision by it."              10. CR: Considering the fact the applicant had no right to appeal an       interlocutory decision in the Court of Appeal, and that the question       submitted is merely of an academic value              11. A new contradiction in law is not only of academic value? The       Crown has both precedents used the "Constitutional Notice Needed"       precedent again in a later Quash Motion in Provincial Court.              12. Though the Crown omits mentioning its new precedent that an       indictment may only be amended by the Trial Judge, the admission that       the Crown believes that a non-constitutional motion needs a Notice of       Constitutional Question shows it is an issue of national importance.              ______________________________       Ray Turmel, Applicant              CC: Maxime Lacourciere       For the Respondent              JCT: So now we sit back and see if 3 judges sign off on leaving those       3 silly contradictory precedents or let it in for all 9 judges.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
