    B. PART II STATEMENT OF FACTS{(a) a succinct outline of the facts the party intends to establish,}

    1. Wednesday May 7, 2008, approximately 6 pm Andr Murray while leavinghis residence and traveling by bicycle into the center of Fredericton City,

    the APPLICANT was intercepted by a single Police patrol car followed by

    a group of Police patrol cars; the occupants of which, members of the

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE proceeded to assault and arrest the

    APPLICANT.

    2. The Preposterous position of the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCEregarding the May 7, 2008 incident obliged the APPLICANT to reasonably

    on September 27, 2010, apply pursuant to Right to Information and

    Protection of Privacy Act, S.N.B. 2009, c. R-10.6 for correspondence and

    other documents which may reveal other possible motivations for the

    outrageous behavior of the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE as did occur

    May 7, 2008.

    3. APPLICANT as above mentioned, having filed complaints with both NewBrunswick Police Commission (File: 2110 C- 09- 09), and the

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE regarding the above mentioned incident

    Wednesday May 7, 2008, involving inter alia the arrest, of APPLICANT,

    reasonably any subsequent investigations and results/conclusions

    determined thereof, must be made available for perusal by the

    APPLICANT and according to RTIPPA.

    4. December 9, 2010, the APPLICANT did receive a reply correspondencefrom the NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION, which stated

    5/75

    2

    NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION in spite of RTIPPA is

    declining to allow the APPLICANT full access to documents, currently in

    their possession, furthermore, this denial of access applies to specific

    material - an Appendix C which consists of the investigation report

    prepared by the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE and the copy provided

    to NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION. Please note NEW

    BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION is prepared to provide only partial

    disclosure of the investigation report (2 pages of 48 pages).

    5. NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION in spite of RTIPPA hasconfirmed both verbally and by written correspondence a refusal to allow

    the APPLICANT full access to documents in their possession, which are

    specific to this matter (in particular 48 pages) of Appendix C

    6. January 13, 2011 NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION did makepartially available the documents as requested by the APPLICANT of

    NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION File : 2110 C- 09- 09further, designated NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION File:

    2010 RTIPPA- 02.

    7. Andr Murray (APPLICANT in this matter) subsequently reviewed theNEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION File: (File: 2110 C- 09- 09

    ) 2010 RTIPPA- 02, the subject investigation report summary and

    conclusion revealed that the cause of APPLICANTS Assault, Battery and

    Arrest was as a result of a obscured/hidden person having provided a

    report the following is an exact excerpt: Investigative Summary blacked

    out .., a blacked out has provided a statement that he

    6/75

    observed a male closely matching the description of a suspect in some

    type of crime, as a result he contacted the police station, and Cst. Debbie

    Stafford attended the area and attempted to stop and identify the

    individual.

    8. March 5. 2009, daylight hours; APPLICANT having just finishedshoveling the driveway to residential dwelling was again assaulted and

    arrested by the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE at 29 -31 Marshall

    Street, in the City of Fredericton. The FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE

    were directed by telephone transmission to APPLICANT and allegedly

    falsely informed that APPLICANT was someone else, who

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE allegedly have warrants for the arrest of

    that individual.

    9. March 5. 2009, APPLICANT , although never resisted, again experiencedassault and battery resulting in physical injury at the hands of members of

    the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE. As a result of the injuries, theApplicant have been unable to work (full capacity) since the March 5. 2009

    assault and battery. Please note the APPLICANT was required by medical

    doctor to wear an arm brace and attend physiotherapy, which continues to

    this day because subject injuries which are not yet healed. the

    APPLICANT is still suffering from the injuries inflicted upon the

    APPLICANT by the March 5. 2009 arrest.

    10.Late 2009, APPLICANT did file a complaint with the FREDERICTONPOLICE FORCE, regarding the March 5. 2009 Assault, involving Battery

    and Arrest. NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION File: (File:

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    7/75

    4

    9000 C- 09- 61 ) 2010 RTIPPA- 01 regarding the March 5. 2009

    Assault, involving Battery and Arrest. The documents which NEW

    BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION have released into the

    APPLICANTS possession revealed that the Police regarding the March 5.

    2009 Assault, involving Battery and Arrest. were being directed and or

    guided by telephone communication with the FREDERICTON POLICE

    FORCE dispatcher (as it does appear) to the APPLICANT moreover,

    although the Applicant had removed all of his winter clothing all

    accessories including hats scarves and gloves in a effort to maintain a

    lower body temperature, to complete the laborious task of shoveling out the

    snow from his driveway on a warm sunny day. Therefore it could not

    possibly be true that a distinctly identifiable man of the Applicants shape,

    size complexion and color of hair could possibly be mistaken for anyone

    else other than who he actually is.

    11.APPLICANT has been subject to an apparent plan of action designed toachieve a particular goal (object yet known) a unreasonable nonstopharassment program against the APPLICANT in this matter, since year

    2005 became a Tenant at 29 Marshall Street in the City of Fredericton.

    False witness statements against the APPLICANT therefore employing the

    unsuspecting local FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE with unfounded

    allegations which have lead to the APPLICANT in this case becoming the

    victim of violence at the hands of the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE.

    12.APPLICANT Andre Murray since year 2005 becoming a ResidentialTenant at his Marshall Street residence in the City of Fredericton has

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    8/75

    5

    experienced unrelenting harassment by two neighbors in particular, living

    in single family houses on each side of his residence.

    13.since year 2005 became a Residential Leasehold Tenant at his MarshallStreet residence in the City of Fredericton has been visited by the local

    FREDERICTON CITY POLICE FORCE; Please Note that the

    APPLICANT is making this statement with carful attention not to

    exaggerate the facts of the matter as in the first year 2005 it would be safe

    to say the members of the FREDERICTON CITY POLICE FORCE visited

    the residence at least twice a week, sometimes twice a day with annoying

    allegations that the APPLICANT may have while walking in his yard,

    further allegedly may have inadvertently and mysteriously offended a

    neighbor although without actually having spoken to anyone nor had the

    APPLICANT observed anyone.

    14.The foregoing must have been recorded by the FREDERICTON CITYPOLICE FORCE Dispatch, (as it is their professional practice) this subjectharassment program against the APPLICANT must have been

    chronologically documented and existing within the files of the

    FREDERICTON CITY POLICE FORCE Department headquarters.

    C. PART III - ISSUES{(b) a concise statement of the issues to be dealt with by the court,}

    1. Questions for the Court to answer

    Should the Honorable Court Order the New Brunswick PoliceCommission to disclose both requested Appendix C as provided by

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    6

    and found within the Fredericton City Police Force Reports to the

    Applicant?

    Should the Honorable Court Order the Fredericton City Police Force todisclose the full requested Police Reports?

    Should the Honorable Court Order the investigation by the FrederictonPolice into the abuse and malicious manipulation of the Fredericton

    Police Force services regarding the volume and substance of thetelephone reports and complaints containing erroneous and provocative

    allegations against Andr Murray (Applicant In this matter) order

    disclosure of same investigation to the Applicant.

    {(c) a concise statement of the principles of law on which the party relies and

    citation of relevant statutory provisions and leading authorities, and}

    2. Introduction

    15.It is the APPLICANTS contention that in pursuance of RTIPPA the headof a public body should disclose requested records that contain information

    of the identity of a malicious Police informant telephone caller, because

    there exists circumstances in the present case which are the exception to

    the rule which normally dictate that the RTIPPA is to be used to protect the

    identity of third party. To use the RTIPPA to protect the identity of a third

    party who is the source of a malicious Police informant telephone calls

    bearing false witness which reasonably could be considered and has

    evidently resulted in a disservice to justice causing violations of (in this

    case) the APPLICANTS civil liberties including a very real possibility of

    a fatal danger to the APPLICANT.

    16.The NEW BRUNSWICK POLICE COMMISSION has identified a partyby only as a THIRD PARTY and subject of this application .

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    10/75

    7

    Misapprehension exists here, non-disclosure is clearly outweighed by the

    significant public interest in this matter requiring disclosure for the

    purposes of the safety or protection of the APPLICANT. Section 22(5) of

    the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, S.N.B. 2009, c. R-

    10.6 provides the following example of where the head of a public body

    shall disclose a record in the case of where the private interest of the third

    party in non-disclosure is clearly outweighed by the significant public

    interest in disclosure for the purposes of public health or safety or

    protection of the environment as follows:

    22(5) Subject to section 34 and any other exception provided for in thisAct, the head of a public body shall disclose a record that contains

    information described in subsection (1) or (2) if, in the opinion of the

    head, the private interest of the third party in non-disclosure is clearlyoutweighed by the significant public interest in disclosure for the

    purposes of public health or safety or protection of the environment.

    17.When someone misuses and abuses the system especially crime preventionservices and public services to engage in a systematic vicarious assault on

    an innocent these malicious people should in effect be relinquishing theintended protection of the RTIPPA.

    18.We should all expect a reasonable protection of our privacy, bet when ouractions become unreasonable, and in this case to be direct malicious, then

    those maliciousindividuals should not be protected by law designed to

    protect the privacy of reasonable people acting forthright.

    3. MAXIMS

    19.Because Maxims are principles and authorities, universally admitted, asbeing just, further, that it be consonant to reason and part of the general

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    11/75

    8

    customs or common law of the land; and are of the same strength as acts of

    parliament, please note APPLICANT will use the relevant Maxims

    throughout following arguments as they may apply in this particular case.

    20.APPLICANT comprehends; the following are the definitions of "maxims".Found at (http://ecclesia.org/truth/maxims.html)

    21.APPLICANT will include and utilize Maxims, that, which, therefore maystrengthen the following arguments such as the APPLICANT intends, for

    that reason, to present/offer to this most Honorable Court.

    22.A. Maxim definitions:A. Maxim (Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1856):

    1. An established principle or proposition. A principle of law

    universally admitted, as being just and consonant with reason.

    2. Maxims in law are somewhat like axioms in geometry. 1 Bl. Com.

    68. They are principles and authorities, and part of the general customsor common law of the land; and are of the same strength as acts ofparliament, when the judges have determined what is a maxim; which

    belongs to the judges and not the jury. Terms do Ley; Doct. & Stud.

    Dial. 1, c. 8. Maxims of the law are holden for law, and all other casesthat may be applied to them shall be taken for granted. 1 Inst. 11. 67; 4Rep. See 1 Com. c. 68; Plowd. 27, b.

    3. The application of the maxim to the case before the court, isgenerally the only difficulty. The true method of making the application

    is to ascertain how the maxim arose, and to consider whether the case

    to which it is applied is of the same character, or whether it is anexception to an apparently general rule.

    4. The alterations of any of the maxims of the common law are

    dangerous. 2 Inst. 210.

    12/75

    9

    B. Maxim (William C. Anderson'sA Dictionary of Law, (1893), page

    666):

    1. So calledbecause it's value is the highest and its authority the most

    reliable, and because it is accepted by all persons at the very highest.

    2. The principles and axioms of law, which are general propositions

    flowing from abstracted reason, and not accommodated to times ormen, are wisely deposited in the breasts of the judges to be applied to

    such facts as come properly before them.

    3. When a principle has been so long practiced and so universally

    acknowledged as to become a maxim, it is obligatory as part of the law.

    C. Maxim of Law (Black's Law Dictionary, 3rd Edition, (1933), page1171): An established principle of proposition. A principle of law

    universally admitted as being a correct statement of the law, or as

    agreeable to reason. Coke defines a maxim to be "a conclusion ofreason" Coke on Littleton, 11a. He says in another place, "A maxim is a

    proposition to be of all men confessed and granted without proof,

    argument, or discourse." Coke on Littleton. 67a.

    D. Maxim (Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Edition): Maxims are but

    attempted general statements of rules of law and are law only to the

    extent of application in adjudicated cases."

    Maxim - Regula pro lege, si deficit lex. In default of the law, the maxim

    rules.

    23.APPLICANT supports the English dictum that a man's home is his refugeas was established in common law by the lawyer and politician Sir Edward

    Coke in The Institutes of the Laws of England, as early as 1628 further, that

    this is a fundamentally important concept, that the Courts should uphold:

    "For a man's house is his castle, et domus sua cuique est tutissimumrefugium [and each man's home is his safest refuge].

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    13/75

    10

    The Common laws of the Realm should by no means be delayed for the

    law is the surest sanctuary, that a man should take, and the strongest

    fortress to protect the weakest of all, lex et tutissima cassis.

    The house of every one is to him as his castle and fortress, as well for

    his defence against injury and violence as for his repose. "

    24.Further to the above principal established 1628 by lawyer and politician SirEdward Coke; a principal the Applicant comprehends, is as a free society,

    we must have liberties grounded on self evident truths of the importance of

    the sanctity, security and privacy of the individuals home. TheAPPLICANT wishes to bring to the Courts attention the seriousness of the

    unwarranted violation of someones home, invasion of privacy and as the

    above mentioned Sir Edward Cokes, Semayne's Case, reflects and

    embodies sanctity principals, referred to as, aMans Home is his Castle.

    4. Fraud

    Maxim - The laws serve the vigilant, not those who sleep upon their rights.2 Bouv. Inst. n. 2327

    25.The APPLICANT asserts that facts as will be presented, and thepreponderance of probability will lead to the conclusion that the unnamed

    informant caller(s) and source of the fraudulent information provided to the

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE, are acting maliciously, fraudulently

    and misusing the public resources for their own disingenuous ends.

    26.The APPLICANT would like to note the following Maxims regarding thenature of the fraud:

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    14/75

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    15/75

    12

    Fraud is most common in the buying or selling of property, including

    real estate, Personal Property, and intangible property, such as stocks,

    bonds, and copyrights. State and federal statutes criminalize fraud, butnot all cases rise to the level of criminality. Prosecutors have discretion

    in determining which cases to pursue. Victims may also seek redress in

    civil court.

    Fraud must be proved by showing that the Applicant's actions involved

    five separate elements: (1) a false statement of a material fact,(2)knowledge on the part of the Applicant that the statement is untrue, (3)

    intent on the part of the Applicant to deceive the alleged victim, (4)

    justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement, and (5)injury to the alleged victim as a result.

    These elements contain nuances that are not all easily proved. First, notall false statements are fraudulent. To be fraudulent, a false statement

    must relate to a material fact. It should also substantially affect a

    person's decision to enter into a contract or pursue a certain course ofaction. A false statement of fact that does not bear on the disputed

    transaction will not be considered fraudulent.

    Second, the Applicant must know that the statement is untrue. A

    statement of fact that is simply mistaken is not fraudulent. To be

    fraudulent, a false statement must be made with intent to deceive the

    victim. This is perhaps the easiest element to prove, once falsity andmateriality are proved, because most material false statements are

    designed to mislead.

    Third, the false statement must be made with the intent to deprive the

    victim of some legal right.

    Fourth, the victim's reliance on the false statement must be reasonable.

    Reliance on a patently absurd false statement generally will not giverise to fraud; however, people who are especially gullible, superstitious,

    or ignorant or who are illiterate may recover damages for fraud if the

    Applicant knew and took advantage of their condition.

    Finally, the false statement must cause the victim some injury thatleaves her or him in a worse position than she or he was in before the

    fraud.

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    16/75

    13

    A statement of belief is not a statement of fact and thus is not

    fraudulent. Puffing, or the expression of a glowing opinion by a seller,

    is likewise not fraudulent. For example, a car dealer may represent thata particular vehicle is "the finest in the lot." Although the statement

    may not be true, it is not a statement of fact, and a reasonable buyer

    would not be justified in relying on it.

    The relationship between parties can make a difference in determining

    whether a statement is fraudulent. A misleading statement is morelikely to be fraudulent when one party has superior knowledge in a

    transaction, and knows that the other is relying on that knowledge, than

    when the two parties possess equal knowledge. For example, if theseller of a car with a bad engine tells the buyer the car is in excellent

    running condition, a court is more likely to find fraud if the seller is anauto mechanic as opposed to a sales trainee. Misleading statements aremost likely to be fraudulent where one party exploits a position of trust

    and confidence, or a fiduciary relationship. Fiduciary relationships

    include those between attorneys and clients, physicians and patients,stockbrokers and clients, and the officers and partners of a corporationand its stockholders.

    A statement need not be affirmative to be fraudulent. When a person

    has a duty to speak, silence may be treated as a false statement. This

    can arise if a party who has knowledge of a fact fails to disclose it to

    another party who is justified in assuming its nonexistence. Forexample, if a real estate agent fails to disclose that a home is built on a

    toxic waste dump, the omission may be regarded as a fraudulent

    statement. Even if the agent does not know of the dump, the omissionmay be considered fraudulent. This is constructive fraud, and it is

    usually inferred when a party is a fiduciary and has a duty to know of,

    and disclose, particular facts.

    Fraud is an independent criminal offense, but it also appears in

    different contexts as the means used to gain a legal advantage oraccomplish a specific crime. For example, it is fraud for a person to

    make a false statement on a license application in order to engage in theregulated activity. A person who did so would not be convicted offraud. Rather, fraud would simply describe the method used to break

    the law or regulation requiring the license.

    17/75

    14

    Fraud resembles theft in that both involve some form of illegal taking,

    but the two should not be confused. Fraud requires an additional

    element of False Pretenses created to induce a victim to turn overproperty, services, or money. Theft, by contrast, requires only the

    unauthorized taking of another's property with the intent to

    permanently deprive the other of the property. Because fraud involvesmore planning than does theft, it is punished more severely.

    29.Fraud as offered above herewithin and below may be established byshowing that the perpetrators actions involved five separate elements:

    (1)a false statement of a material fact,(2)knowledge on the part of the source that the statement is untrue,(3)intent on the part of the source to deceive the alleged victim,(4)justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement, and(5) injury to the alleged victim as a result.

    30.The APPLICANT is not attempting to prove Fraud, per se, but wishes toalert the attention of the Court to the relevant portions of an argument

    regarding the fraudulent misrepresentations of the unknown informantcaller(s) and the implications of same, namely that because the unknown

    informant caller(s) are acting fraudulently they should not in the usual

    manner be protected by this Court. To be fraudulent, a false statement must

    relate to a material fact, in this case unknown informant caller(s)

    fraudulently informing the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE of facts

    which the unknown informant caller(s) must have known to be false. In

    criminal law, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or

    to damage another individual A false statement of fact that does not bear on

    the intentional deception will not be considered fraudulent, in this matter,

    the intentional deception was to cause the FREDERICTON POLICE

    15

    FORCE to act against the Applicant on many occasions under the false

    information that the APPLICANT was an individual with warrants for his

    arrest, or some other equally false claims.

    31.Second, the individual Source of the information must know that thestatement is untrue. A statement of fact that is simply mistaken is not

    fraudulent. In the present case, this was not simply one mistaken statement

    of fact, since the year 2005 the deceptions are unrelenting and were of a

    substance requiring a sufficient consciousness of mind to orchestrate the

    copious barrage unrelenting fraudulent misrepresentations of the unknown

    informant caller(s). This is perhaps the easiest element to prove, once

    falsity and materiality are proved because most material false statements

    are designed to mislead, such as in this case, the false information to the

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE was crafted to mislead the Fredericton

    Police into a course of action which would have been to the detriment of

    the APPLICANTS legal rights and standing, and at the same time the

    induced course of action would have been to the benefit of the unknowninformant caller(s) (otherwise why would this continue this course of

    action).

    32.Third, the false statement, in a incident of fraud, must be made with theintent to deprive the victim of some legal right, in this case the Applicant

    would have been deprived of the Applicants legal rights guaranteed by

    The English Magna Carta, expressed in The United States constitution and

    guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights, which stated clearly the

    relationship between life, liberty, and property; arguably there is no

    19/75

    property more sacred than a mans home. The violation of ones home

    constitutes a serious affront to human dignity.

    33.Fourth, justifiable reliance by the alleged victim (FREDERICTONPOLICE FORCE) on the fraudulent statement as is in this case the victim's

    reliance on the false information, must be reasonable (which is apparent

    because the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE acted on same) .

    34.Finally, the false statements provided by the malicious informantsevidently made victims of FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE and the

    APPLICANT causing injury leaving all concerned and or interacting

    during these false arrests, inter alia in a worse position than they were

    before the malicious informants instigated said events .

    35.TheMaxim Let no one be relieved or gain an advantage by his ownfraud. Is relevant to this hearing because, the informant(s), having

    repeatedly provided false information (whatever their motivation)toFREDERICTON POLICE FORCE, by their (the informant) actions and the

    actions of their willing agents (FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE) created

    a condition, where, the Applicant:

    a) Despite having no warrants for the Applicant,b) Despite having not been a criminal,c) Despite having no criminal record,d) Despite having not being engaged in criminal activity,e) Despite having not being under investigation by the Fredericton

    Police,f) The applicant has had his residence searched twice withoutwarrants, by the Fredericton Police,

    g) The applicant has at his residence been, Assaulted, Battered,Arrested, injured and Detained three separate times,

    20/75

    17

    h) The applicant has been subject to 6 years of unnecessary PoliceHarassment involving many incidents coming and going to the

    area of residence,i) The Applicant cannot enjoy the Applicants residence, without

    interference,

    j) The applicant is in fear for his life and or personal safety,k) The Fredericton Police Force will not cooperate with the

    Applicant.

    which reveals that the agenda of the unnamed informant(s) appears to be

    succeeding consequentially without the intervention of the Courts,

    Applicant will continue to be Assaulted, Battered, Arrested, injured,

    Detained and have his residence searched without COURT ORDERED

    WARRANTS, illegally by the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE.

    39.Black's Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004) , Page 3169 and page 3170 providesthe following definition of MISREPRESENTATION as follows:

    MISREPRESENTATION

    misrepresentation,n. 1. The act of making a false or misleading

    assertion about something, usu. with the intent to deceive. The worddenotes not just written or spoken words but also any other conduct that

    amounts to a false assertion. [Cases: Fraud 9.]

    2. The assertion so made; an assertion that does not accord with the

    facts. Also termed false representation; (redundantly) falsemisrepresentation. Cf. REPRESENTATION(1). misrepresent,vb.

    A misrepresentation, being a false assertion of fact, commonly takes

    the form of spoken or written words. Whether a statement is false

    depends on the meaning of the words in all the circumstances,including what may fairly be inferred from them. An assertion may also

    be inferred from conduct other than words. Concealment or even non-disclosure may have the effect of a misrepresentation .... [A]n assertion

    need not be fraudulent to be a misrepresentation. Thus a statement

    intended to be truthful may be a misrepresentation because ofignorance or carelessness, as when the word not is inadvertently

    omitted or when inaccurate language is used. But a misrepresentation

    that is not fraudulent has no consequences ... unless it is material.

    Restatement (Second) of Contracts 159 cmt. a (1979).

    fraudulent misrepresentation. A false statement that is known to befalse or is made recklessly without knowing or caring whether it istrue or false and that is intended to induce a party to detrimentally

    rely on it. Also termed fraudulent representation; deceit. [Cases:

    Fraud 8.] A misrepresentation is fraudulent if the maker intends his

    assertion to induce a party to manifest his assent and the maker (a)

    knows or believes that the assertion is not in accord with the facts, or

    (b) does not have the confidence that he states or implies in the truth ofthe assertion, or (c) knows that he does not have the basis that he states

    or implies for the assertion. Restatement (Second) of Contracts

    162(1) (1979).

    material misrepresentation. 1.Contracts. A false statement that is likely

    to induce a reasonable person to assent or that the maker knows islikely to induce the recipient to assent. [Cases: Contracts 94. C.J.S.

    Contracts 136, 139140, 156, 158160, 170171, 173174.] 2.Torts.

    A false statement to which a reasonable person would attach

    importance in deciding how to act in the transaction in question or to

    which the maker knows or has reason to know that the recipientattaches some importance. See Restatement (Second) of Torts 538

    (1979). [Cases: Fraud 18.] The materiality of a misrepresentation isdetermined from the viewpoint of the maker, while the justification of

    reliance is determined from the viewpoint of the recipient.... The

    requirement of materiality may be met in either of two ways. First, amisrepresentation is material if it would be likely to induce a

    reasonable person to manifest his assent. Second, it is material if the

    maker knows that for some special reason it is likely to induce the

    particular recipient to manifest his assent. There may be personalconsiderations that the recipient regards as important even though

    they would not be expected to affect others in his situation, and if themaker is aware of this the misrepresentation may be material eventhough it would not be expected to induce a reasonable person to make

    the proposed contract. One who preys upon another's known

    diosyncrasies cannot complain if the contract is held voidable when hesucceeds in what he is endeavoring to accomplish.... Although a

    nonfraudulent misrepresentation that is not material does not make the

    contract voidable under the rules stated in this Chapter, the recipientmay have a claim to relief under other rules, such as those relating to

    breach of warranty. Restatement (Second) of Contracts 162 cmt. c

    regarding ALLEGED FRAUDULENT REPRESENTATIONS and

    BALANCE OF PROOF at paragraph 20 and paragraph 31 as follows:

    [20] The parties concur that the elements comprising the tort ofdeceit or fraudulent representation are:

    1. there must be a false representation of fact;2. the representation must be made with knowledge of its

    falsity, or at least made in the absence of any genuine belief

    that it is true, or recklessly;3. it must be made with the intention that it should be acted on

    by the defendant, or by a class of persons which includes the

    defendant, in the manner which resulted in damage to him;4. it must be proved that the defendant has acted upon the false

    statement; and

    5. that the defendant has sustained damage by so doing.BALANCE OF PROOF

    [31] The defendants must meet a higher degree of probabilitygiven that their claim is based on allegations of fraud by Mr. Miller. InContinental Insurance Co. v. Dalton Cartage Co.,1982 CanLII 13

    (S.C.C.), [1982] 1 S.C.R. 164, Chief Justice Laskin for the Court stated

    at p. 170:

    There is necessarily a matter of judgment involved in weighing

    evidence that goes to the burden of proof, and a trial judge is justifiedin scrutinizing evidence with greater care if there are serious allegations

    to be established by the proof that is offered. I put the matter in the

    words used by Lord Denning in Bater v. Bater, supra ([1950] 2 AllE.R. 458) at p. 459, as follows:

    It is true that by our law there is a higher standard ofproof in criminal cases than in civil cases, but this is

    subject to the qualification that there is no absolute

    standard in either case. In criminal cases the charge

    must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt, but there

  • 8/3/2019 August 11, 2011, Referral. The Applicants Pre Hearing Brief, Rules of Court, Rule 38.06.1 For Joint Hearing regardi

    27/75

    24

    may be degrees of proof within that standard. Many

    great judges have said that, in proportion as the crime is

    enormous, so ought the proof to be clear. So also in civilcases. The case may be proved by a preponderanceof probability, but there may be degrees ofprobability within that standard. The degreedepends on the subject-matter. A civil court, whenconsidering a charge of fraud, will naturally requirea higher degree of probability than that which itwould require if considering whether negligencewere established. It does not adopt so high a degreeas a criminal court, even when it is considering acharge of a criminal nature, but still it does require a

    degree of probability which is commensurate withthe occasion.

    45.At this point the APPLICANT has alleged and hopefully established thatFRAUDULENT REPRESENTATIONS have occurred and the

    BALANCE OF PROOF regarding preponderance of probability favors

    that it is more likely that subject malicious informants are intending to

    further provide fraudulent misrepresentation, to induce the

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE to further act against the APPLICANT,

    than it is to believe the subject malicious informant(s) have been innocently

    mistaken, literally one hundred times over the course of five years.

    51.In Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership v. Rex, 2002 SCC 42, [2002] 2S.C.R. 559 Justice IACOBUCCI J. provided the following insight into the

    Principles of Statutory Interpretation from paragraph 26 though to and

    including paragraph 30 as follows:

    http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/2002/2002scc42/2002scc42.html

    (1) Principles of Statutory Interpretation

    26 In Elmer Driedgers definitive formulation, found

    at p. 87 of his Construction of Statutes (2nd ed. 1983):

    Today there is only one principle or approach, namely, the words of an

    Act are to be read in their entire context and in their grammatical andordinary sense harmoniously with the scheme of the Act, the object of

    the Act, and the intention of Parliament.

    Driedgers modern approach has been repeatedly cited by this Court asthe preferred approach to statutory interpretation across a wide range of

    interpretive settings: see, for example, Stubart Investments Ltd. v. TheQueen, 1984 CanLII 20 (S.C.C.), [1984] 1 S.C.R. 536, at p. 578, perEstey J.; Qubec (Communaut urbaine) v. Corp. Notre_Dame de

    Bon_Secours, 1994 CanLII 58 (S.C.C.), [1994] 3 S.C.R. 3, at p. 17;

    Rizzo & Rizzo Shoes Ltd. (Re), 1998 CanLII 837 (S.C.C.), [1998] 1

    S.C.R. 27, at para. 21; R. v. Gladue, 1999 CanLII 679 (S.C.C.), [1999]

    1 S.C.R. 688, at para. 25; R. v. Araujo, 2000 SCC 65 (CanLII), [2000]

    2 S.C.R. 992, 2000 SCC 65, at para. 26; R. v. Sharpe, 2001 SCC 2(CanLII), [2001] 1 S.C.R. 45, 2001 SCC 2, at para. 33, per McLachlin

    C.J.; Chieu v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 2002

    SCC 3 (CanLII), [2002] 1 S.C.R. 84, 2002 SCC 3, at para. 27. I note aswell that, in the federal legislative context, this Courts preferred

    approach is buttressed by s. 12 of the Interpretation Act, R.S.C. 1985, c.

    I_21, which provides that every enactment is deemed remedial, andshall be given such fair, large and liberal construction and interpretation

    as best ensures the attainment of its objects.

    27 The preferred approach recognizes the important

    role that context must inevitably play when a court construes thewritten words of a statute: as Professor John Willis incisively noted in

    his seminal article Statute Interpretation in a Nutshell (1938), 16 Can.Bar Rev. 1, at p. 6, words, like people, take their colour from their

    surroundings. This being the case, where the provision under

    consideration is found in an Act that is itself a component of a largerstatutory scheme, the surroundings that colour the words and the

    scheme of the Act are more expansive. In such an instance, the

    application of Driedgers principle gives rise to what was described in

    R. v. Ulybel Enterprises Ltd., 2001 SCC 56 (CanLII), [2001] 2 S.C.R.867, 2001 SCC 56, at para. 52, as the principle of interpretation that

    presumes a harmony, coherence, and consistency between statutesdealing with the same subject matter. (See also Stoddard v. Watson,1993 CanLII 59 (S.C.C.), [1993] 2 S.C.R. 1069, at p. 1079;

    Pointe_Claire (City) v. Quebec (Labour Court), 1997 CanLII 390

    (S.C.C.), [1997] 1 S.C.R. 1015, at para. 61, per Lamer C.J.)

    28 Other principles of interpretation such as the

    strict construction of penal statutes and the Charter valuespresumption only receive application where there is ambiguity as to

    the meaning of a provision. (On strict construction, see: Marcotte v.

    Deputy Attorney General for Canada, 1974 CanLII 1 (S.C.C.), [1976] 1

    S.C.R. 108, at p. 115, per Dickson J. (as he then was); R. v. Goulis(1981), 33 O.R. (2d) 55 (C.A.), at pp. 59_60; R. v. Hasselwander, 1993

    CanLII 90 (S.C.C.), [1993] 2 S.C.R. 398, at p. 413; R. v. Russell, 2001

    SCC 53 (CanLII), [2001] 2 S.C.R. 804, 2001 SCC 53, at para. 46. Ishall discuss the Charter values principle later in these reasons.)

    32/75

    29

    29 What, then, in law is an ambiguity? To answer,

    an ambiguity must be real (Marcotte, supra, at p. 115). The words ofthe provision must be reasonably capable of more than one meaning

    (Westminster Bank Ltd. v. Zang, [1966] A.C. 182 (H.L.), at p. 222, per

    Lord Reid). By necessity, however, one must consider the entirecontext of a provision before one can determine if it is reasonably

    capable of multiple interpretations. In this regard, Major J.s statement

    in CanadianOxy Chemicals Ltd. v. Canada (Attorney General), 1999CanLII 680 (S.C.C.), [1999] 1 S.C.R. 743, at para. 14, is apposite: It

    is only when genuine ambiguity arises between two or more plausible

    readings, each equally in accordance with the intentions of the statute,

    that the courts need to resort to external interpretive aids (emphasis

    added), to which I would add, including other principles ofinterpretation.

    30 For this reason, ambiguity cannot reside in the

    mere fact that several courts __ or, for that matter, several doctrinal

    writers __ have come to differing conclusions on the interpretation of agiven provision. Just as it would be improper for one to engage in a

    preliminary tallying of the number of decisions supporting competing

    interpretations and then apply that which receives the higher score, it

    is not appropriate to take as ones starting point the premise thatdiffering interpretations reveal an ambiguity. It is necessary, in every

    case, for the court charged with interpreting a provision to undertakethe contextual and purposive approach set out by Driedger, andthereafter to determine if the words are ambiguous enough to induce

    two people to spend good money in backing two opposing views as to

    their meaning (Willis, supra, at pp. 4_5).

    52.The stated purposes of this Right to Information and Protection of PrivacyAct, S.N.B. 2009, c. R-10.6 is to (a) to allow any person a right of access

    about themselves in the custody or under the control of public bodies,

    subject to the limited and specific exceptions set out in this Act.

    53.As stated in Bell ExpressVu Limited Partnership v. Rex, 2002, supra byJustice IACOBUCCI J Today there is only one principle or approach,

    namely, the words of an Act are to be read in their entire context and in

    their grammatical and ordinary sense harmoniously with the scheme of the

    Act, the object of the Act, and the intention of Parliament.

    54.Interpretation Act, R.S.N.B. 1973, c. I-13, section 17, is reproducedbellow, as follows:

    17 Every Act and regulation and every provision thereof shall bedeemed remedial, and shall receive such fair, large and liberalconstruction and interpretation as best ensures the attainment ofthe object of the Act, regulation or provision.

    55.Should the Honorable COURT ORDER the New Brunswick POLICECOMMISSION to grant the APPLICANT right of access to records

    containing personal information about the APPLICANT that which may be

    COMMISSION, said ORDER would be congruent with the stated purpose

    of the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act and

    Interpretation Act, R.S.N.B. 1973, c. I-13.

    62.APPLICANT argues that the head of a public body could refuse to giveaccess or disclose information to an APPLICANT under this Right to

    Information and Protection of Privacy Act if the access or disclosure is

    prohibited or restricted by another Act of the Legislature (namely the

    Police Act), which it is not. Consequently APPLICANT argues that the

    head of a public body should not refuse to give access or disclose

    information to APPLICANT under this Right to Information and

    Protection of Privacy Act and has no reason to refuse.

    63.Section 84 of the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act,S.N.B. 2009, c. R-10.6 provides that the Burden of proof (section 84(1) in

    33

    any proceeding under this Act, is relegated to head of the public body to

    prove , as must be done in this matter, that the APPLICANT has no right of

    access to the record or part of the record. Since the APPLICANT has

    provided that Section 28.2(2) does not preclude providing a copy of the

    Investigative Report to the APPLICANT , there is no need for the head of

    the public body to prove the position of access refusal or nondisclosure of

    information to the APPLICANT therefore unnecessary to prove regarding

    Section 28.2(2) of the Police Act, S.N.B. 1977, c. P-9.2. or Section 5 (1)

    and section 5(2) of the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act,

    64.Section 84 of the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act,S.N.B. 2009, c. R-10.6 provides the following:

    Burden of proof84(1) In any proceeding under this Act, the burden is on the head of thepublic body to prove that the applicant has no right of access to the

    record or part of the record.

    84(2) Despite subsection (1), if the proceeding under this Act concernsa decision to disclose or to refuse to disclose, in whole or in part, arecord containing personal information about a third party, the burden

    is on the applicant to prove that disclosure of the information would not

    be an unreasonable invasion of the third partys privacy.

    84(3) Despite subsection (1), if the proceeding under this Act concernsa decision to disclose or to refuse to disclose, in whole or in part, a

    record containing information that is not personal information about athird party, the burden is on the third party to prove that the applicant

    has no right of access to the record or part of the record.

    decision to disclose or to refuse to disclose, in whole or in part, a record

    containing personal information about a third party, the burden of the third

    and remaining section of the RTIPPA is on the APPLICANT to prove that

    disclosure of the information would not be an unreasonable invasion of the

    third partys privacy.

    66.Because any active member of the FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE,who contributed to the Report as required by this request would be acting

    professionally and should not be considered private.

    67.RTIPPA provides that the head of a public body shall disclose a record thatcontains information if, in the opinion of the head, the private interest of

    the third party in non-disclosure is clearly outweighed by the significant

    public interest in disclosure for the purposes of public health or safety or

    protection of the environment.

    68.The APPLICANT is part of the Public and this is most certainly in theinterest of the health of the APPLICANT to have the head of a public body

    disclose a record that which contains information that the APPLICANT

    may thereby take reasonable steps to protect himself from these unrelenting

    harmful and malicious attacks.

    APPLICANT.

    70.Section 22(5) of the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act,S.N.B. 2009, c. R-10.6 provides the following example of where the head

    of a public body shall disclose a record in the case of where the private

    interest of the third party in non-disclosure is clearly outweighed by the

    significant public interest in disclosure for the purposes of public health or

    safety or protection of the environment as follows:

    22(5) Subject to section 34 and any other exception provided for in thisAct, the head of a public body shall disclose a record that contains

    information described in subsection (1) or (2) if, in the opinion of the

    head, the private interest of the third party in non-disclosure is clearlyoutweighed by the significant public interest in disclosure for the

    purposes of public health or safety or protection of the environment.

    71.As stated above: Black's Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004), at Page 3967provides the definition of REASONABLE which is Fair, proper, or

    moderate under the circumstancesor According to reason It is

    reasonable that this HONORABLE COURT ORDER the head of the New

    Brunswick POLICE COMMISSION to provide subject information as

    requested so that the Applicant may take reasonable Legal steps to be safe

    against this constant Police harassment and inevitable next latest assault

    which 6 years of history reasonably indicate will occur, unless the

    HONORABLE COURT ORDER is ISSUED .

    72.As stated above Black's Law Dictionary (8th ed. 2004), the definition ofUNREASONABLE Not guided by reason; irrational or capricious. or

    Not supported by a valid exception to the warrant requirement It is

    unreasonable that the Applicant (in this matter) be subject to continuous

    harassment and endangerment, when all that is required to prevent this is to

    have a COURT ORDER requiring that the head of the New Brunswick

    POLICE COMMISSION to provide the requested information to the

    Applicant.

    73.If the Applicant were to request a FREDERICTON POLICE FORCEinvestigation into the matter, the privacy protections protocols of the

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE would again prohibit the Applicant

    from knowing the Source of all these harassing Police calls.

    74.Invasion of a third partys privacy, is reasonable, when the third party isabusively manipulating privacy laws in order that their hideous actions

    may remain hidden, that they may further continue with immunity to make

    false and misleading malicious phone calls to the FREDERICTON

    POLICE FORCE dispatcher thereby manipulating members of said Police

    with crafty schemes and or cunning designs for the accomplishment of a

    sinister end, designed to harass and endanger the (in this matter)Applicants well being . It is only just that this Court order the head of the

    public body to grant the request in whole or in part, in this case POLICE

    COMMISSION to comply and surrender relevant material as is requested

    by the APPLICANT. .Enough is enough, it is time the FREDERICTON

    POLICE FORCE stop being manipulated in the ways as found listed

    herewithin above and below, moreover, perhaps to allow circumstances to

    remain as circumstances currently are, it stands to reason that eventually

    sooner or later the Applicant may be forced to experience as so called

    mishap accident because of misapprehension by members of

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE, which said altercations could

    eventually end the life of the Applicant. The Applicant in all sincerity

    currently lives in constant fear of being accosted by members of

    FREDERICTON POLICE FORCE .

    75.This Honorable Court in pursuance with RTIPPA Section 66(1) has theauthority to order the head of the public body to grant the request in whole

    or in part, and the applicant request this Court to do just that.

    Chief Justice of New Brunswick

    Free and democratic societies are founded on the supremacy of law,

    and an independent judiciary is essential to ensure its unbiasedapplication.

    Courts play an essential role within Canadas constitutional framework.They constitute the judicial branch of government, a component that

    the Constitution of our country compels the legislative and executive

    branches to preserve and protect.

    New Brunswick courts are called upon, on a daily basis, to judge andapply the appropriate law to disputes and provide a peaceful and

    professional mechanism for their resolution."

    HONORABLE COURT have opportunity to protect and promote dignity

    and worth of the human people and the position of the family in a society

    of free men and free institutions, by choosing to promote and enforce the

    right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment

    of property, and insure the right not to be deprived thereof except by due

    process of law.

    Although drawn up in 1215 between King John and the English

    Barons, the Magna Carta was surprisingly modern in the rights it

    bestowed.

    Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter", literally "Great Paper") was

    drawn up in 1215 to limit the power of English Monarchs, especiallyKing John, from absolute rule.

    ...........................

    One of the most important clauses that was to have the long lasting

    effect was Article 39:

    No free man shall be arrested, or imprisoned, or deprived of

    his property, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any way destroyed,nor shall we go against him or send against him, unless by legal

    judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land.

    This meant the King must judge individuals according to the law, and

    not according to his own will.

    Equally important was Article 40:

    To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay,right or justice.

    The importance of these two clauses, the right to be judged by one's

    peers, is felt in all English speaking countries today.

    ................................

    The influence of Magna Carta can be seen in the US Bill of Rights,

    which enumerates various rights of the people and restrictions on

    government power:

    No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property,

    without due process of law.

    The American Bar Association acknowledged the importance of Magna

    Carta and the debt American law and constitutionalism had to MagnaCarta when in 1957 they erected a monument at Runnymede.

    82.Furthermore, a more direct quoted excerpt of the Fifth Amendment to theUnited States Constitution found at the following URL

    (http://www.constitution.org/billofr_.htm ) which states as follows:

    Article the seventh [Amendment V]

    No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise

    infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a

    Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces,or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public

    danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to

    be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelledin any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be

    deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

    nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just

    compensation.

    83.The following excerpt of the Magna Carta, section 39 is found here:http://www.constitution.org/eng/magnacar.htm

    39. No freemen shall be taken or imprisoned or disseised or exiled or in

    The Applicant deposes that the actions of the FREDERICTON POLICE

    FORCE have thus far evidentially, acted contrary to the seriousness

    represented by Violation of the Sanctity of a Person's Home. The Right to

    information and protection of Privacy Act should be read and broadly

    construed, with the Applicants purposed notion of maintaining in mind, the

    dignity and integrity of the individual. For the benefit of the Court coming

    to a fair and balanced decision, all these previously referred to documents

    enshrine the most important principal of law, expressed in the following

    maxim:

    The welfare of the people is the supreme law.

    87.In Somwar v. McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Ltd., 2006 CanLII 202(ON S.C.) SUPERIOR COURT JUSTICESTINSON J. addressed the right

    to privacy in Canada and how is it protected from paragraph 23 through to

    an including paragraph 30 as follows:

    [23] I turn to this aspect of the rule 21.01(1)(b) test inlight of arguable uncertainty of the existence of the tort of

    invasion of privacy in Ontario. In seeking an answer to this

    question (apart from the jurisprudence discussed above) it is

    useful to address a more fundamental one: is there a right toprivacy in Canada and how is it protected? InHunterv.

    Southam Inc., 1984 CanLII 33 (S.C.C.), [1984] 2 S.C.R. 145

    (S.C.C.), the Supreme Court of Canada acknowledged theexistence of such a right. Dickson J. (as he then was) held that

    the purpose of the right against unreasonable search or seizure

    contained in s. 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights andFreedoms was the protection of the privacy of the individual. In

    effect, s. 8 is the constitutional embodiment of the right to be

    let alone by other people.

    [24] The importance of privacy as a value worthy of

    constitutional protection was emphasized in another Supreme

    Court decision,R. v. Dyment, 1988 CanLII 10 (S.C.C.), [1988]2 S.C.R. 417 (S.C.C.). In that case La Forest J. described three

    zones or realms of privacy, which included rights involving

    territorial or spatial aspects, rights related to the person, andrights that arise in the information context. With respect to

    privacy in relation to information, La Forest J. wrote (at para.

    22):

    This too is based on the notion of the dignity and integrity of

    the individual. As the Task Force [Privacy and Computers, theReport of the Task Force established by the Department of

    Communications/Department of Justice (1972)] put it (p.13):This notion of privacy derives from the assumption that allinformation about a person is in a fundamental way his own, for

    him to communicate or retain for himself as he sees fit. In

    modern society, especially, retention of information aboutoneself is extremely important. We may, for one reason oranother, wish or be compelled to reveal such information, but

    situations abound where the reasonable expectations of the

    individual that the information shall remain confidential to thepersons to whom, and restricted to the purposes for which it is

    divulged, must be protected .

    [25] There has also been judicial recognition of a

    constitutional right to privacy in the civil context, as Robyn M.

    Ryan Bell noted in her article, Tort of Invasion of Privacy Has its Time Finally Come? in Todd Archibald & Michael

    Cochrane,Annual Review of Civil Litigation (Toronto:

    Thomson Carswell, 2005) at 225. Among other decisions, Bellcited Canadian AIDS Society v. Ontario1995 CanLII 7116 (ON

    S.C.), (1995), 25 O.R. (3d) 388 (Gen. Div.), aff'd 1996 CanLII

    1139 (ON C.A.), (1996), 31 O.R. (3d) 798 (C.A.), a case

    involving a Charterchallenge to mandatory reporting of

    medical information. In that case Wilson J. concluded that thereis a right to privacy in the civil law context; after balancing the

    privacy rights of individuals and the state objective ofpromoting public health for the safety of all, however, she

    found no breach of either s. 7 or s. 8 of the Charter.

    discussed the approach that should be followed when a commonlaw rule is alleged to be inconsistent with the Charter. Writing

    for the majority, he stated (at para. 92):

    Historically, the common law evolved as a result of the courts

    making those incremental changes, which were necessary in

    order to make the law comply with current societal values. TheCharterrepresents a restatement of the fundamental values

    which guide and shape our democratic society and our legal

    system. It follows that it is appropriate for the courts to makesuch incremental revisions to the common law as may be

    necessary to have it comply with the values enunciated in theCharter.

    [27] Although the Charterdoes not apply to disputes

    between private individuals, I agree with the views expressedby Bell, in her article, supra, at p. 229:

    The introduction of the Charterhas impacted upon thedevelopment of the tort of invasion of privacy in two ways.

    First, the values underlying the Charterinclude respect for an

    individuals dignity and autonomy, values which are, in turn,

    closely tied to respect for and protection of an individualsprivacy. Second, the Supreme Court has made it clear in cases

    asM. (A.) v. Ryan, 1997 CanLII 403 (S.C.C.), [1997] 1 S.C.R.157, that the common law must develop in accordance with

    Chartervalues.

    [28] Provinces such as British Columbia, Manitoba,

    Newfoundland, and Saskatchewan have created a statutory tort

    of invasion of privacy. See John D.R. Craig, Invasion ofPrivacy and Charter Values: the Common-Law Tort Awakens

    (1997) 42 McGill L.J. 355, footnote 2. In Quebec, s. 5 of the

    Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, R.S.Q., c. C-12, whichprovides that every person has a right to respect for his privatelife, is directly enforceable between citizens. In Ontario,

    however, there is no statutory remedy for unreasonable

    intrusion into an individuals private affairs.

    [29] With advancements in technology, personal data of

    an individual can now be collected, accessed (properly and

    improperly), and disseminated more easily than ever before.There is a resulting increased concern in our society about the

    risk of unauthorized access to an individuals personal

    information. The traditional torts such as nuisance, trespass, andharassment may not provide adequate protection against

    infringement of an individuals privacy interests. Protection of

    those privacy interests by providing a common law remedy fortheir violation would be consistent with Chartervalues and an

    "incremental revision" and logical extension of the existing

    jurisprudence.

    [30] Such a development in the common law has beenviewed as appropriate by many legal commentators: see, forexample, the articles by Bell, and Craig, supra. Bell wrote (at p.

    235):

    The emerging social realities of twenty-first century life in

    Canada include the use of technology that increasingly

    facilitates the circulation and exchange of information, cellularphones that can be used to take photographs, and the seemingly

    ever-increasing desire by the public at large for media stories, to

    name but a few examples. A broad embracement of a common

    law tort of invasion of privacy would reflect an updating of thecommon law to reflect these emerging social realities.

    88.Furthermore, in R. v. Dyment, [1988] 2 S.C.R. 417, Justice La Forest J.stated, regarding the right to privacy and its relationship to human dignity

    at the following paragraphs 15 through to and including paragraph 23 as

    follows:

    15. From the earliest stage of Charter interpretation, this

    Court has made it clear that the rights it guarantees must beinterpreted generously, and not in a narrow or legalistic fashion;seeR. v. Big M Drug Mart Ltd., 1985 CanLII 69 (S.C.C.), [1985]

    1 S.C.R. 295, at p. 344. The function of the Charter, in the words

    of the present Chief Justice, then Dickson J., inHunter v. Southam

    Inc., 1984 CanLII 33 (S.C.C.), [1984] 2 S.C.R. 145, at p. 155 "is

    to provide ... for the unremitting protection of individual rights

    and liberties". It is a purposive document and must be soconstrued. That case dealt specifically with s. 8. It underlined that

    a major, though not necessarily the only, purpose of the

    constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizureunder s. 8 is the protection of the privacy of the individual; see

    especially pp. 159-60. And that right, like other Charter rights,

    must be interpreted in a broad and liberal manner so as to securethe citizen's right to a reasonable expectation of privacy against

    governmental encroachments. Its spirit must not be constrained by

    narrow legalistic classifications based on notions of property and

    the like which served to protect this fundamental human value in

    earlier times.

    16. Indeed, it may be confusing means with ends to view

    these inherited rights as essentially aimed at the protection of

    property. The lives of people in earlier times centred around thehome and the significant obstacles built by the law againstgovernmental intrusions on property were clearly seen by Coke to

    be for its occupant's "defence" and "repose"; see Semayne's Case

    (1604), 5 Co. Rep. 91 a, 77 E.R. 194, at p. 91 b and p. 195respectively. Though rationalized in terms of property in the
