Mar. 29, Vancouver BC. guyearle.blogspot.com – James Millar, lawyer for Guy Earle, tells the press why he walked out of today’s BC Human Rights Tribunal hearing concerning Guy Earle and Lorna Pardy. Moments before, Millar expressed frustration with Tribunal chair Murray Geiger-Adams over the fact that three years into this matter, the Tribunal still hasn’t ruled on jurisdiction but intends to proceed with the Hearing anyway.
@Rata4You Oh and off subject a little by along the same line, How would explain someone sewing because they burnt oneself with a McDonald coffee and it even getting to court. A ludicrous precedence was put in the books that should have never went to trial
@Rata4You Maybe but precedents isn’t law it’s interpretation and along the way they are manipulated by lawyers, they should be thrown out with all the extras they add in. All we need is basic laws is what I’m saying and the rest gone, somewhere they are corrupted with personal wants and the times we live in, many not even relevant to the now.
When two identical cases are heard in two seperate court rooms, the evidence accepted and rejected or deemed illegal or legal should almost always have the same out come if the lawyers and judges prepared properly for the case. They use case studies as a guideline. What you are proposing has nightmarish implications….i dont think you really understood the implications of what just said. Its like the end of time.
Huh? You contradicted yourself. You said that precedents should be tossed out and then judgements should be based on…..??? Without precedent, you only have personal biases. All cases refer to case studies so that the same shit cant be tried over and over and over and over again without end. Without precedent, you dont have equality and without equality you might as well shred the constitution. Every case has to be tried based on the same identical rules without exception.
I never understood how this tribunal could decide on constitutional matters. Isnt it up to our Federal courts to decide on weighty issues such as free speech? Don´t judges in high courts have the experience and knowledge to make such decisions?
It was a smart move by the lawyer. I think this is a serious blow to this court and when this case is challenged in fed court, this will probably spell the end of this court. Good riddance.
Smart lawyer. He’s like, actually abiding by the law, unlike these “human rights tribunals”. Keep up the good fight sir, I suspect you’ll find much unheralded supporte.
James Miller seems like he has integrate, I wish the courts could have the same. I think all the by laws and precedents need thrown out from time to time to keep the laws fresh and untarnished with personal judgments.
