|    TURMEL: Appeal Federal Court stalls to S    |
|    11 Apr 15 14:26:17    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              TURMEL: Appeal Federal Court stalls to Supreme Court              JCT: Earlier this year, Federal Court Justice Phelan refused       to allow me to file a Motion for Summary Judgment because it       was a "simplified" action having forgotten he had himself       changed it to an ordinary action.       Then Federal Court of Appeal Justice Dawson refused to allow       me to file a Notice of Appeal because there were no appeals       against judgments of a procedural nature, having forgotten       she herself allowed the appeals of Ray Turmel and 5 others       of the procedural Crampton stay.              There's nothing I can do if the courts want to play around       with the law this way but get the story and my objection on       the record:        File Number:        IN THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA        (ON APPEAL FROM THE FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL)       BETWEEN:        John Turmel        Applicant        Appellant in appeal        Her Majesty The Queen        Respondent               APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL        JOHN TURMEL, APPLICANT        (Pursuant to Rule 25 of the Supreme Court Rules)               TABLE OF CONTENTS              1. Notice of Application for Leave to Appeal..........1       2. Applicant's Certificate............................4       3. Jan 5 2015 Direction of Phelan J...................6       4. Feb 13 2015 Direction of Dawson J.A................7       5. Applicant's Memorandum.............................8               NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL              TAKE NOTICE that Applicant seeks an Order overturning the       Feb 13 2015 Direction of Federal Court of Appeal Madam       Justice Dawson ordering the Registry to not file my Notice       of Appeal of the Jan 5 2015 Direction of Phelan J. ordering       the Registry to not file my Motion for Summary Judgment.              THE GROUNDS OF APPEAL are that the Tajkin decision bars       appeals of a direction by a Prothonotary, not appeals of a       direction by a Judge.              Dated at Toronto on April 10 2015.       For the Applicant:       John C. Turmel, B.Eng.,               APPLICANT'S MEMORANDUM        JOHN TURMEL, APPLICANT              PART I - OVERVIEW              1. On Mar 7 2014, Federal Court Chief Justice Paul Crampton       issued a Direction staying the Actions of several hundred       Plaintiffs pending the decision of Manson J. on the Mar 21       2014 motion in Allard et al v. HMTQ [T-2030-13].              2. The Federal Court of Appeal Registry refused to file my       Notice of Appeal of the Stay Direction on time stating only       Orders, not Directions, could be appealed.              3. I inserted the following paragraph into the Notice of       Appeal:        2. Federal Court Rule 53.(1) states:        Orders and Directions        Orders on terms        53. (1) In making an order under these Rules, the        Court may impose such conditions and give such        directions as it considers just.        Motion for directions        54. A person may at any time bring a motion for        directions concerning the procedure to be followed        under these Rules.        4. Rule 53.(1) does not say: "The Court may impose        directions," it says "in making an order, the court may        impose directions."              4. On Mar 17 2014, Ray Turmel and 5 more Appellants       submitted the amended Notice of Appeal with Rule 53 but the       Notices of Appeal against the Direction were sent for a       Direction.              5. On Mar 20 2014, Federal Court of Appeal Justice Dawson       issued the Direction:        The Registry is directed to file the six notices of        appeal.. [Ray Turmel A-152-14]              6. I then filed a motion [14-A-18] for an extension of time       to file my Notice of Appeal against Crampton J.'s Direction.              7. On Apr 1 2014, though the Crown argued the stay still       needed to be "lifted" after the Mar 21 2014 Manson ruling       before our Actions could proceed, Federal Court of Appeal       Justices Blais, Stratas and Scott ruled the stay was       automatically "lifted" after lapsing on Mar 21 2014 so       that appeals and motions for extension of time to appeal       against the expired Direction were now mooted and dismissed       without costs.              8. On Apr 16 2014, I wrote Federal Court of Appeal Chief       Justice Blais:        When I tried to file my Notice of Appeal against the Mar        7 Direction of Crampton C.J. staying my action, the        Registry refused stating Directions could not be        appealed.               Having examined the rules, I found a Direction may only        be given within an Order and calling it a Direction does        not preclude it being an appealable Order. I amended the        Notice of Appeal to so indicate and 6 other Notices of        Appeal were then accepted for filing. I then had to ask        for an extension of time to file the appeal I'd been        wrongly denied.               In the Crown's Written Representations, it says:        Para. 2: No appeal lies from a Direction.        Para 36: No appeal from Direction               To support that argument, the Crown cited:        1) Aga Khan v. Tajdin [2012];        2) Peak Innovations v. Simpson Strong [2011]               1) Aga Khan says the Direction of a Prothonotary is not        appealable to a Judge, not that the Direction of a Judge        is not appealable to 3 Judges.               2) Peak Innovations again says the Direction of a        Prothonotary is not appealable to a Judge, not that the        Direction of a Judge is not appealable to 3 Judges.               Finally, the Crown repeats the error a third time:        Para 61: Applicant cannot appeal a direction of the        Federal Court.               Despite the six Appeals being dismissed by three Judges        as mooted indicating the Court knows its own rules, the        Attorney General and Registry staff as yet do not.               Could you instruct the Attorney General and Registry        staff that a Direction by a Judge is appealable to three        Judges even if a Direction by a Prothonotary to one        Judge is not? A little refresher schooling seems called        for because this could recur at an instant's notice.        John C. Turmel              9. On Apr 29 hearing, upon my motion and Crown consent,       Justice Phelan changed my "Simplified Action" to an Action.       At page 42 of the transcript:        JUSTICE PHELAN: Okay. What is your next point?        MR. J. TURMEL: Okay. The Crown says that the simplified        action does bar us from doing certain things, and I        agree. And I just have a motion here to amend, which I        would like to bring up right now. When I originally came        in to file my Statement of Claim, it was perfect. But        Her Majesty the clerk said, "Under 50,000 bucks? That is              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
