Good day,
Attached are the pleadings in the second path we are pursuing. Monday, I will file my reply to the respondent's written argument. It is now up to a judge to decide whether to set down a hearing date.
I intend this week to write a motion, asking for an oral hearing on July 10th to decide (a) whether to hear the case and, (b) if so, to issue an order holding that the ruling in this case will apply to all the litigants who are a part of the Emam contingent, as your case is. I will update you when the motion is decided.
As for our litigation, Justice Barnes is continuing to prevent it from seeing the light of day. I will not waste my time asking him to behave honourably because he has made it clear that such a request, not only will fall on deaf ears, but will result in his knifing us yet again. Bullies do not listen you; they just hit you. (The motion in this new case will undoubtedly force him to so something, however.)
Running on a parallel track is the challenge to s. 87.4. The appeal is currently before the Federal Court of Appeal. Should it succeed, it will apply to everyone. That decision, however, will not come for some months from now. (We should have a decision on my motion long before then and, if it is granted, a hearing date -- likely to be late in the year because it generally occurs ninety days after the Court has agreed to hear the case.)
Regards,
Tim
