TURMEL: Judge Diner nixes email metadata, wants affidavit of service JCT: For the past few years, I have uploaded the metadata from an email to the Crown to acknowledge service and then wrote a letter to the judge asking the registry to accept it in lieu of an affidavit of service. For the Appellant/Plaintiff John C. Turmel, B.Eng., May 17 2021 To a Judge: re: T-130-21 To the Administrator: Please place this letter before a judge of the Court: Your Honor Please accept the email c19a2service.pdf to be filed as proof of service on the Defendant. This proof of service was accepted by Justice Brown for many online filings in the past few years and twice in the recent Appeal Motion and Reply of Michel Ethier. Given the lockdown situation, I hope it is deemed acceptable. JCT: So I tried it for my appeal motion for the timetable. Federal Court CANADA May 20th, 2021 VIA E-MAIL John C. Turmel Benjamin Wong RE: T-130-21 JOHN C. TURMEL v. HMQ ________________________________________________________________________ Please be advised of the following oral direction issued by Justice Diner dated May 20th, 2021: "Mr. Turmel be instructed to submit a proper Affidavit of Service, and upon receipt of the Affidavit of Service the Motion can be accepted for filing as of the date it was submitted (May 17, 2021)." JCT: Judge Brown accepted it dozens of times Michel Ethier had his metadata for his appeal motion and reply accepted by his judge, but Justice Diner needs me to swear before a commissioner of oaths that I sent it to the Crown. Proof of email not good enough. So I have to run around to find a Notary to commission my oath when I swear "I did email it to the Crown." That's better than the metadata To: From: Date: Title: Affidavit of Service are "make-work" for lawyers and notaries. If I ran a legal system, I'd make a rule that every document filed is presumed to be true. But that wouldn't let lawyers do their lawying. So lawying is okay as long as you didn't swear you weren't lying. I could understand some kind if verification in the case of an inheritance estate, sure, a notary is still useful. But swearing that you served it on them, what's the purpose to an oath if saying you served them and you did not would be perjury too. So Judge Diner wants to make me run around. Email metadata not sufficient, needs me swearing an oath before the notary. What do you think. Would he have been another judge who thought adding a Carbon Copy to an email was too great a burden for the Crown to bear? I hope he's not the judge of my appeal motion. Didn't start off well.
