|    TURMEL: Left-Out Robert Roy on Allard Ap    |
|    19 Dec 14 15:23:38    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              JCT: Since half the Appellants in Allard are seeking to       broaden the Manson Order to include those Left-Out of his       remedy by his forgetting to grand-father the Possess Permits       with the Grow permits back to Oct 1 2013 and Robert Roy is       one of our two Left-Outs appealing for an Interim Exemption       for Personal Medical Use at the Supreme Court of Canada,       he's bringing it to the Court's attention.              The only way is to file a Motion for an Extension of time to       file a Supplementary Memorandum on the Allard decision       giving the Crown 10 more days to respond. Here's his Motion       and Memorandsum:               File Number: 36146        IN THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA        (ON APPEAL FROM THE FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL)       BETWEEN:        Robert Roy        Applicant        Appellant in appeal        And        Her Majesty The Queen        Respondent               NOTICE OF MOTION FOR SUPPLEMENTARY        MEMORANDUM ON DEC 15 2014 ALLARD DECISION        Robert Roy, APPLICANT        (Pursuant to Rule 25 of the Supreme Court Rules)              TAKE NOTICE that Applicant seeks an extension of time to       file a Supplementary Memorandum on the Dec 15 2014 Allard       decision and for the Crown to file a Response within the       normal 10 days.              THE GROUNDS OF MOTION are that       a) the Allard decision impinges directly on my situation in       that it states:       "although he provides a right (the interlocutory injunction)       to the four (4) respondents... he does not, in contrast,       explain why he deprives two (2) respondents of a remedy..       who held valid production licences on September 30, 2013 but       whose authorizations to possess expired between September       30, 2013 and March 21, 2014 (the date of his order)."       b) I am one of those deprived of the remedy who is now       suffering irreparable harm.              Dated at Halifax on Dec 19 2014.       __________________________       For the Applicant:       Robert Roy              TO: Attorney General for Canada                      APPLICANT'S SUPPLEMENTARY MEMORANDUM        Robert Roy, APPLICANT        (Pursuant to Rule 25 of the Supreme Court Rules)              PART I - OVERVIEW              1. On Dec 15 2014, the Federal Court of Appeal's ruling in       Allard v. HMQ impinges directly upon my same predicament.              2. In Para.12 of its Reasons, the Court supported Justice       Manson's ruling that:       1) my identifiable group of medical users have right to       affordable medicine under the Charter;       2) failure to grant relief would cause irreparable harm!"              3. In Para.16, the Court notes the Manson Order provides       remedy to 2 Plaintiffs but fails to provide relief to the       other two who cross-appeal to broaden the scope of the order       to include them. And me too.              4. In Para.17, the Court notes no distinction between the 4       Allard Plaintiffs as representatives of an identifiable       group. When their respective ATPs expired was not even       discussed.              5. In Para.18, the Court specifies:        "it does not provide remedy to patients who held valid        production licences on September 30, 2013 but whose        authorizations to possess expired between September 30,        2013 and March 21, 2014 (the date of his order). The        judge's choice of March 21, 2014 as the "cut-off" date        has the effect of excluding Ms. Beemish and Mr. Hebert        from his order."              6. And half the 25,000 medical self-growers like me who shut       down in the 6 months since the Health Canada Directive to       destroy all their stock on April Fool.              7. In Para.19, the Court notes Justice Manson doesn't       explain why he deprives 2 respondents of remedy by       grandfathering only their Grow and not Possess Permits. In       Para.20, the Court adds they are unable to understand       whether the judge intended to exclude them or simply forgot.              8. The Court's Order states:        The appeal is dismissed with costs and the cross-appeal        is allowed without costs. The matter is remitted back to        the judge for the determination solely on the issue of        the scope of the remedy, more particularly with respect        to Ms. Beemish and Mr. Hebert, in accordance with the        reasons.              PART II - ISSUE              9. Does the Dec 15 2014 decision in Allard at the Federal       Court of Appeal sufficiently impinge on my application?              PART III - ARGUMENT              9. Though the Court allowed the cross-appeal on the right to       be included in the remedy, it then did not broaden the       remedy to include them itself but instead sent it back       below with: Did you forget? Direction to remedy this       irreparable harm, unless you meant to do it.              10. In Parker, the Ontario Court of Appeal broadened the       lower court's remedy: We disagree with the judge granting       Parker a personal exemption and instead we substitute an       Order declaring the prohibition of marijuana to be invalid       (suspended a year to enact the MMAR exemption). Broadening       from a personal exemption for Parker to the law struck down       for everyone.              11. The Federal Court of Appeal could have like-wise       substituted a broadened remedy: We disagree with the remedy       that grand-fathered only the Grow Permits and instead we       substitute an Order grand-fathering both Grow and Possess       Permits. So the Court of Appeal has sent the Left-Outs back       to Justice Manson to broaden his remedy when they could have       broadened the remedy themselves.              12. It seems even more obvious that the previous best       remedy adopted by the Ontario Court of Appeal in Parker of       granting an Interim Exemption for Personal Medical Use is       still the only remedy that can end the irreparable harm now       being done to my identifiable group whom Justice Manson       maybe forgot before he gets to broadening his remedy to       include me.              PART IV - ORDER SOUGHT              13. Applicant seeks an Order extending the time to serve and       file Applicant's Supplementary Memorandum on the Dec 15 2014       Allard Decision at the Federal Court of Appeal.              Dated at Halifax on Dec 19 2014.       _____________________________________       Applicant:       Robert Roy              JCT: So that's it. While the Federal Court of Appeal says       it allowed the cross-appeal on the right to a broadened       order, it did not allow the remedy of a broadened Order that       was asked for in that cross appeal.              I say it's a dereliction of the Court's powers not to have       broadened the remedy they say is a right themselves.              So no broadened remedy yet for anyone and stuck with the       150-gram limit officially unless the Gold Stars can get rid       of it. Not quite the big victory the Allard Appeal was made       out to be, is it?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
