PART I - INTRODUCTION

1. The applicants seek a Norwich Pharmacal order to obtain information for the purpose of

determining whether there arc reasonable grounds for a Canadian private prosecution of the criminal

offences of money laundering and the possession of property obtained by crime, and against which

individuals or entities such prosecution could be pursued (the "Norwich Application").

2. Information obtained through years of investigation appears to reveal that Jamilah Taib Murray

("Jamilah"), her husband Sean Murray ("Murray") and numerous corporations under their control

may have participated in the laundering in Canada of proceeds consisting of funds obtained through

corruption by Iamilah's father, Abdul Mahmud Taib ("Taib"), a corrupt Malaysian state official.

3. Taib is clearly corrupt. While Taib is a lifetime politician constitutionally prohibited from

commercial enterprise, he is nonetheless one of South East Asia's wealthiest men. In 2010, Taib

himself stated: "l have more money than I can ever spend ...all my children are looked after."' His

daughter, Jamilah, lives in Ottawa and on a timeline that has coincided with Taib's rise to political

power and corresponding corruption, she has become one of the richest women in Canada. She has

done so through a multimillion dollar real estate company she started as a 23-year old Carleton

University graduate with no relevant experience and no independent source of wealth.

4. Still, further evidence is required to determine whether there are reasonable grounds .for a private

criminal prosecution and against which individuals or entities such prosecution could be pursued.

Through the Norwich Application, the applicants are seeking to obtain and evaluate intermation that

may potentially increase their "bona fide or reasonable claim" (the Norwich Pharmacal test) to

"reasonable grounds" to believe the offences in question were committed (the Cr/mina/ Code test).

5. The Supreme Court of Canada has recognized the private prosecution proCess as "a fundamental

precept" and a "fundamental and historical right."2 Canadian courts are loath to interfere with this

right.3 Similarly, the House of Lords has held that use of a private prosecution "remains a valuable

constitutional safeguard against inertia or partiality on the part of authority." ̀4

6. l'o date, despite the available evidence, no charges have been brought against Jamilah, Murray or

the corporations they control. This is the exact type of case for which private prosecutions were

intended, namely to backstop against inert public authorities. After an initial hearing of this matter

where the Honourable Justice Myers required notice to be provided, His Honour emphasized the

seriousness and importance of this matter:

If the [applicants'l5 evidence is correct, there may be very significant criminal misconductbeing committed here in aid of corrupt foreign official(s). There may be no one else here whois interested in uncovering the truth whether it has to do with criminality here, corruptionabroad that Canadians are facilitating, or deforestation and destruction of Indigenous habitatand culture in Malaysia.'

7. The relief sought by the applicants is also consistent with both the well-established purposes of

Norivich Pharmaca/ relief and the approach taken in the where private prosecutions are more

common than in Canada and courts have indicated that Alb/11kb Pharmaca/ orders in support of private

prosecutions are acceptable.

8. The respondents — who are the bankers, lenders and accountant for the numerous corporations

under Jamilah and Murray's control — are the only practicable source for obtaining the necessary

information and documents relevant to determining whether there arc reasonable grounds for a private

ordered.

PART - FACTSA. The Parties

9. The first applicant is Bruno-Manser-Fonds ("BAH"), a charitable organization based in Basel,

Switzerland. In 2011, it was certified by ZEWO, a Swiss foundation that allows trustworthy charities

to carry its seal of approval! The second applicant is Mutang Urud ("Mutang,"), a Canadian citizen

and member of the Kelabit tribe, an Indigenous group native to Sarawak. As a Malaysian born in

Sarawak, Mutang, along with other Indigenous community members, arc victims of Taib's corruption

and diversion of public funds. In 1992, as a result of his efforts to bring Taib's corruption to the

attention of the international community, Mutang was held in solitary Confinement for one month by

Taib's regime.?

10. The respondents are the bankers, lenders and accountant of certain corporations under the control

oflamilah and Murray. Each of Royal Bank of Canada ("12I3C"), The Toronto-Dominion Bank (H)

Bank") and Manulife Financial Corporation ("M aniline") have made significant loans to and

transferred and received funds on behalf of those corporations, and Deloitte & Touche ("Deloitte")

has provided accounting services to one or more those corporations (and may still do so).

The applicants do not allege any wrongdoing against the respondents and have undertaken not to commence any proceedings against them beyondthis request for documents (including any private prosecution process). The order sought is narro)vly tailored and addresses only corporate Financialrecords that relate to the source oldie funds that have: contributed 10 the wealth or the Canadian corporations within the Saklo Group. It does notprovide for disclosure of personal bank account statements of Jamilali, Murray or anyone else.Dr. Lukas Siniumann serves as 1310.1''s Executive Director and is the alliant in support of this application.

1 1. The non-party targets at issue on this application are Taib, Onn Bin Mahmud ("Onn"), Jamilah

and Murray, and the corporations they control. The corporations are collectively referred to herein as

the "Salto Group" and are listed at Schedule "C".

B. Taib's Political Corruption and the Deforestation in Sarawak

1 2. The rainforests of Sarawak were formerly the most biodiverse habitats in the world. One hectare

of rainforest formerly housed more tree species than was found in all of North America, The

Indigenous peoples of Sarawak. including Mutang's Kelabit tribe, historically used the rainforests for

their livelihood and as part of their social and cultural heritage. As a Penan tribe headman stated: "We

were very well off at that time. The forest was still intact, and we lived off its bounty."'

13. Massive deforestation has severely damaged the pristine beauty and natural abundance of

Sarawak's rainforests. Over the past three decades, the forests were logged at unsustainable levels and

land was taken over by timber companies, oil plantation companies, commercial dams, and other forms

of industry." it is estimated that 90% of the primeval rainforests have been cut down. As a result, the

indigenous communities that depended on the torests for survival were forced further into poverty and

marginalization, and many lost access to their traditional lands without adequate consultation and

compensation. 12

1 4. At the heart of this massive deforestation is Taib, the former Chief Minister and current Governor

of the state of Sarawak. While many governments around the world engage in the destruction oilnatural

habitats and Indigenous lands due to what some consider bad politics, in this ease Taib has done so

corruptly for his own benefit and diverted state proceeds to him and his -family.

Straumann Affidavit, Exhibit 1, pp. 47, MR Vol. 1.Straumann Affidavit of para 16,11,1R Vol. I p. lb.Straumann Affidavit, Exhibit 19, MR Vol. 2, p. 375. See also MR Vol. 2, p. 371 to 375. As Malaysian political scientist Do Andrew Acria has concluded:"Cliven ihedisplaccmcnt via massive logging delbrs-station, it is (he nintl Indigenous communities orSarawak who remain amoni4tho more impoveashed comparedto other glows in Malaysia."

15. Taib was .first appointed to public office at the age of 27. At that time, he had no business and

neither he nor his 'family members had any wealth. In 1968, Taib became a Minister in the Malaysian

.federal government. In 1981, Taib became the Chief Minister of the state of Sarawak, a position he

held until 2014. After his resignation as Chief Minister in February 2014, Taib was appointed as

Governor of Sarawak, a position he continues to hold today."

16. The Constitution of the State of Sarawak is clear: "the Chief Minister shall not hold any office of

profit and shall not actively engage in any commercial enterprise."1.5 Despite this law, during his tenure

as Chief Minister, Taib and his family and friends became immensely wealthy. It is estimated that

Taib's .family is amongst the wealthiest in South East Asia.16 BM F has compiled a list of companies

in which Taib 'family members were known to have a beneficial interest. By December 201 1, the list

consisted of 417 companies in 25 countries and offshore finance centers.17 13y the same year, [IMF

determined that the Taib family's stakes in 14 large Malaysian companies alone were worth

approximately US81.46 billion.' 8

1 7. Taib and his family members have personally benefited .from numerous timber licenses, land leases

and state contracts. During Taib's first six years as Chief Minister (beginning in 1981), his family

members and political allies received timber concessions for 1.6 million hectares.' 0 Between 1990 and

2010, Taib distributed over another 1.5 million hectares of state land worth billions to his inner eircle.20

In turn, Taib and his inner circle have diverted the majority of all timber concession rent toward their

personal financial gain, in addition to ensuring the development of theft continued political

dominance.2I Taib himself acknowledged at an electoral event in 2010: "I have more money than I can

ever spend ...all my children are looked after."22

1 8. The Taib family takeover of Sarawak's main publicly traded infrastructure company, Cahya Mater

Sarawak ("CMS"), provides further evidence of Taib's corruption. Taib's younger brother. Onn, was

installed as Chairman of CMS and, in 1996, as a final step in Taib's orchestration of its privatization,

CMS purchased a Malaysian investment holding company, Concordance Holdings, that had been set

up by Onn and Jamilah in 1981 (when Jamilah was just 21 years old). CMS paid the highly-inflated

price of US$140 million for Concordance Holdings.23

19. Since the privatization of CMS into the hands of the Taib family, at least 90 public contracts worth

over US$1.54 billion have been granted to CMS.24 During this time, eleven members of the Taib

family have been involved with CMS as shareholders, directors or members of the management

team.25 As of 2015, Taib's four children, including Jamilah, controlled at least 55% of the shares of

CMS.2' As Malaysian political scientist. Dr. Andrew Acrid has written regarding Taib's takeover of

CMS: "Apart from cultivating cronyism and corruption and possible further rent-seeking efforts, such

privatization deprives the State sector of lucrative sources of income and inter alia end up raising the

tax burden of ordinary taxpayers."27

20, There have been successful efforts to demonstrate the Taib family corruption. in March 2013, a

film was released that includes undercover interviews and negotiations with Taib family members and

2] See, li)r instance the doctoral thesis or Aincuicau economist David Walter Brown, who concludes that the Taib group of cntemriscs is the third largestconcession holder in the state, a position or market dominance unmatched by any other head of state in any of the other case..-; that Brown discussed in his study ofminforcst rent i❑ South East Asia: Straumann Affidavit, Exhibit 16, MR Vol. 2, p. 275.Straumann Affidavit, Exhibit 5, Video I MR Vol, 1., p. 208.

their associates in relation to land in Sarawak.28 Among other things, the film shows negotiations of a

deal that contemplates a 10% kickback to be paid to Taib (who it is said will not "surface" in relation

to the deal) and an illegal scheme to avoid payment of Malaysian taxes on a US$76 million deal.

2I . In sum, Taib's corruption is apparent on its face and has been recognized internationally, including

through extensive academic studies, learned articles, doctoral theses and books.29 In 2006, the U.S.

Embassy in Malaysia stated plainly in a cable to U.S. Secretary of State: "[T]he Sarawak- state

government remains highly corrupt and firmly in the hands of its chief minister tfaibl".3° The cable

went on to discuss how Taib's government continues to fail members of the Indigenous Penan

community by not providing adequate services, support and political self-determination, "while

maintaining a ion -standing grip on political power in the state."

C. Proceeds of Corruption Transferred to Sakto in Canada

22. In 1983, just shortly alter Taib's appointment as Chief Minister, Jamilah graduated from Ottawa's

Carleton University. She was just 23 years-old and had no independent source of income.32 Jamilah

founded Sakto, one of the key entities within the Sakto Group. The Organization for Economic

Cooperation and Development ("OECD")33 has recently determined in a draft initial assessment

regarding the Sakto Group that "while having separate legally established corporate identities these

companies are linked and coordinate their economic activities and operations".34

The film has been riled in court on a USII at Ilxhibit 5 to Straumann Affidavit as Video 2, MR Vol. 1, p. 208.

same as those involved in this application except that City Gate International Corporation, Glowell Development Corporation, Prime Midian

Holdings Inc., Astar Properties Ltd., Tagus Investments LIM and Tess Investments Ltd. were not included. There were also various additional

Sakto-related entities before the NCI' including Natalite Investments Ltd.

23. Jamilah's husband,-Murray, has admitted that the business of Sakto 1:1ronei the start was to "aequire"

and "develop" real estate.35 This was the case despite the filet that Jamilah had no relevant experience

witti real estate at that time.

24. Jamilah founded Sakto using funds biven to her by her father. Taib has admitted that he gave

Jamilah a generous gift of money in tbc 19805.36 Subsequently, Murray admitted that Jamilah used

some, of the funds giftod from Taib to purchase file shares in Sakto.37 Murray also admitted that there

were tbree other founding shareholders of Sakto who veere also members of the Taib Pamily and that

this included Taib's brother Onn.38

25. Currently, copies of Saldo's financial statements are only available for its first 10 years of

operations (19831993).39 The financial statements, which were prepared by Deloitte, show that during

that period, Saldo aceumulated a$10.44 milhon deficit" and incurred losses every year except for

1 98'7, when it made a small net profit of $53,40941. They also show, however, that Sakto made real

estate investments of $7.9 milkou in .198442, $3.1 million in 198543 and $14 mil Kon in 1986.'14

26, Saldo's abi.l.ity to grove and male significant real estate investments over its first 1.0 years of

operations does not appear to be baserf on any legitimate independent funding. Rather, during that

period, Sakto shareholders (who Murray has said inelnded Jamilah, Taib's brother Onn and Taib's son

Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib) loaned at least $29.8 million to Sakto. This amount was comprised of $28.8

million in "interest-free" shareholder loans with no repayment terms.45

27. In addition, just three days after Sakto's incorporation, Taib's brother Onn. (who had significant

wealth through his control, via Taib, of Sarawak timber exports to Japan` °) purchased multiple

properties for $4.65 million.47 ()nn then transferred the properties to Sakto for just $1.00.48 Onn

characterized this transaction as a "trans-ler from trustee to beneficiary of the trust."49

28. Since the -founding of Sakto, the Sakto Group has engaged in real estate transactions in Ottawa and

has grown their assets significantly. This growth has included the purchase and development of the

prominent Preston Square office building in downtown Ottawa and various other properties around

Walldey Road in Ottawa.'° The nature of Sakto's growth raises further questions about its propriety.

29, For instance, in 1.996, Sakto registered two $20 million loans on its Preston Square and Walkley

Road properties, one of which was registered to Jamilah "in trust". The underlying agreement shows

indebtedness to, among others, 01111 and Taib's son, Rahman Taib,5 I as well as "to any other person

who, with the consent of Jamilah IL Taib, lend money to Sakto and become parties to the

Agreement".52 The agreement therefore demonstrates that Taib family members, and potentially others

known only to Jamilah, had loaned some portion of the $20 million to Sakto.

30. In 1997, Sakto Corporation (which is distinct from Sakto Development Corporation, referred to in

this factual as "Sakto") was incorporated. The directors of the corporation were Onn, Jamilah, Murray

and Iwo other individuals.53 After Sakto Corporation' s incorporation, it was transferred ownership of

multiple Ottawa properties.54 Since thon, Sakto Corporation's assets and profile have grorun

abundantly, and it is one of the major players ln Ottawa's real estate market. It is now the main arm of

the 'fait.) •family's ventures in Ottawa.55 Entiti es within the Sakto Group have also benefited from •fiinds

provided through various third party bans, including bans provided by the financial institution

respondents.56

31. The Taib family also has signifietint U.S. real estate holdings that are connected to Sakto in Canada.

For instance, in 1987, Saldi International Corporation ("Salai") n'as incorporated with a purpose of

purchasing and administering real estate in California.57 Notably, by at least 1988, a Sakti document

indicated expressly that 50% of its share capital was in fact being held "in trust for Abdul Taib

Mahmud" by bis family members.54 More reeently, in January 2017, the U.S. Government

Accountability Office issued a government report that expressly confirme(' that Sakti is "100 percent

linanced by the Taib family of Malaysia".59 The report also conlirmed that "Saki() international,

located in Canada, is the parent company of Sakti International Corporation". 6()

PART 1N7 - LAW AND ARGUMENT

A. The Nature of a Private Prosecution and the information Required

33. The Ci'iniiuul Code allows anyone who believes on reasonable grounds that a person has

committed an indictable offence to lay an information before a justice of the peace to commence

criminal proceedings.( Laying such an information results in a "pre-enquete" before a justice or judge.

If the justice or judge decides to issue process following the pre-enquete, the proceedings crystallize

into a private prosecution. The pre-enquete is held in-camera and without notice to the person who

allegedly committed the offence.62

34. In this case, to lay an information, the applicants would be required to swear that they have

reasonable grounds to believe that Jamilah, Murray and/or one or more Canadian corporations within

of the Sakto Group likely committed the offences alleged. While the applicants may have sufficient

information to commence a civil action (and would obtain the information sought through discovery

in such action), because a putative private prosecutor cannot obtain a search warrant, they require

additional information to evaluate whether to lay an information in the private prosecution process.

35. In particular, the applicants require further information to uncover the critical facts about the flow

of funds (such as those in banking and fund transfer related documents) before they can determine if

they can properly swear that they have reasonable grounds to believe criminal offences have been

committed. While the applicants have clearly identified jamilah, Murray, and certain corporations

within the Sakto Group as potential wrongdoers, they do not believe that they currently have sufficient

information to determine if there are reasonable grounds for a private prosecution and theretbre require

more information. The applicants also possess even less information about the remaining corporate

entities in the Sakto Group.

36. The applicants submit that the only way for them to evaluate whether there are reasonable grounds

for a private prosecution and, if so, against which entities, is to review the following information: (i)

the ultimate source of the funds used to acquire the assets held by or for the benefit ofJamilah, Murray

and the Sakto Group, (ii) the inflow of funds to the Sakto Group, particularly any funds advanced by

shareholders or other parties with connections to Malaysia and/or Taib, (iii) the ultimate source of the

funds used to repay debts owed by the Sabo Group to the respondents and (iv) the circumstances

surrounding, and particulars of, real estate transactions and mortgages negotiated] tbcs 1 Sakto Group.

B. A Legitimate Purpose of a Norwich Pharinacal Order is to Determine if There AreReasonable Grounds for a Private Prosecution

1. Enabling Justice to be Done

37. The purpose of a Norwich Phannaca/ order "is to enable justice to be done."63 There is no

prescribed categories of purposes for which Norwich Pharmacal relief will be granted." Instead, the

necessity requirement for Nonrich Phai'inacal relief may be satisfied in a variety of circumstances in

the context of each case, and the legitimate purpose requirement may be satisfied in various ways.65

38. To date, the courts have recognized a number of legitimate purposes kw Norwich Pharmacal

relief.66 One well-established and legitimate purpose for Non rich Pharmacal relief is to evaluate

Whether there is a basis for a legal proceeding. No firm commitment to start the proceeding is

required.67 Obtaining information necessary to identify a wrongdoer is also a weil-established and

legitimate purpose -for Nonvich Pharmacal relief.68

39. The applicants subtuit that this Honourable Court should consider that evaluating whether there

are reasonable grounds for a private prosecution and ideatifying potential targets of such a prosecution

enables justice to be done and is analogous to legitimate purposes for Norwich Pharmacal orders that

the courts have previously recognized.

2. Guidance from English Law

40. The applicants are not aware of any Canadian court addressing whether it is appropriate to grant a

Norwich Pharmacal order m support of a private proseeunion. However, deeisions of courts in the U.K.

provide relevant guidance. Private prosecutions are more frequent in the U.K. than in Canada. The

U.K. therefbre bas a more developed body of relevant case law. The U.K. case law suggests that

Norwich Pharmaca/ orders can he granted for the purposes of a private prosecution.

41 . In a passage later enclorsed by the House of Lords, the English Court of Appeal has suggested that

courts should grant a Nonrich Pharmacal order where the applicant requires the respondent's

assistance to bring a private proseenbott

Private prosecutions are still permissible and from time to time prove their value as a longstopbehind an inert public authority. 1 would want to lcave open the situation where an applicantcan show a genuine nood or wiste to bring a private prosecution hut requires the respondent'shelp in tdentifying the wrongdoer."

42. The House of Lords has rejected the argument that Norwich Pharmacal orders should °it./ he

availahle in connection with civil proceedings. Rather, wrongdoing that amounts to crime may allow

- 14

the courts to grant a Arorivich Pharmaca/ order even when the wrongdoing in question does not

correspond to a civil cause of action.70 As Lord Woolf stated:

lithe law has developed so as to enable, in the appropriate circumstances, the wrongdoer to beidentified if he has committed a civil wrong I can .find no justification for not requiring thewrongdoer to be identified if he has committed a criminal wrong. To draw a distinctionbetween civil and criminal wrongs can only he justified if, contrary to the views I have alreadyexpressed, disclosure can only be ordered to enable civil proceedings to be brought against thewrongdoer. If the victim of the wrongdoing is content that the wrongdoer should be prosecutedby the appropriate prosecuting authority 1 cannot see any objection to his obtaining the identityof the wrongdoer to enable that to happen. The prosecution may achieve for the victim theremedy which the victim requires just as dismissal of an employee can do so. The morerestrictive approach attaches excessive significance to the historic origins of the jurisdiction.71

43. Any restrictive approach to the Norwich Pharmaca/ test in the circumstances of this case would

be therefore be inconsistent with the relevant U.K.case law. The applicants submit that the U.K. case

law should guide this Honourable Court's analysis of the a' ppropriateness of ordering the disclosure

sought in this case.

3. Analogous Position to Potential Civil Claimants

44. Evaluating whether there are reasonable grounds for a private prosecution is also closely analogous

to evaluating whether there are 'facts sufficient to give rise to a civil cause of. action. As a result, courts

have recognized that, without a Nora ich Pharmaca/ order, applicants may lack the necessary

investigatory tools and will remain in the dark about critical details that would allow them to evaluate

whether there arc grounds for a private prosecution or identify the wrongdoer.72 In addition, numerous

commentators have recognized the difficulty of gathering evidence in support of a private prosecution

arising from the fact that relevant evidence is often held by the target and private prosecutors do not

- 15 -

have normal criminal investigatory tools available to them. It is well-recognized that this difficulty and

the resulting lack of quality evidence is the main cause of the failure of private prosecutions.73

45. in this case, the applicants are closely analogous to civil litigants who seek a Norwich Pharmacal

order and, without such an order, will remain in the dark about critical details necessary to evaluate

whether there are reasonable grounds for a private prosecution.

4. Consistent with Relationship Between Private Actors and the Criminal JusticeSystem

46. The applicants' position on the availability of a Norwich Pharmacy/ order in connection with a

potential private prosecution is consistent with how Canadian courts have previously treated the

relationship between private actors and the criminal justice system. In R v Thornton, the Court of

Appeal for Ontario recently upheld a criminal conviction that was obtained in part on the strength of

banking records that the employer obtained in a Norwich Pharmacy/ order and subsequently provided

to police.74 This being the case, there is clearly no prohibition on usinL, documents obtained by private

actors such as the applicants through Norwich Pharmacal orders in criminal proceedings.

47. This Honourable Court has also previously confirmed that the Attorney General (whose shoes the

applicants would seek to fill in a private prosecution) can apply Tor and obtain Norwich Pharmacal

orders. In Ontario (Attorney General) 1, 6/5 Stanley Strect75 the Attorney General sought an order

preserving the alleged proceeds or the instruments of unlawful activity. In response, Justice Brown

stated that the record before him did not contain evidence about bank accounts and held: "If the AGO

lacks information about financial accounts or securities which might constitute the proceeds or

instruments of unlawful activity, it is open to the AGO, in the appropriate case, to seek a Norwich

order":76 in this case, the applicants seek to act consistent with the Attorney General's ability to obtain

a Norlrich Pharinaccd order.

48. Justice Brown rendered another relevant decision in Ontario (Attorney General) i Two .Financial

Institutions'.77 There, Justice Brown declined to extend a Norwich Order sought by the Attorney

General because, among other things, the Attorney General's request strayed into tracing assets :for a

criminal investigation. However, Justice Brown's rationale for declining to extend the already existing

Norwich Pharmacal order is critical. His Honour noted that the Attorney General was able to utilize

the Criminal Code's search warrant provisions and therefore should not use Nortuieh Pharinaca/

orders for its criminal investigation. He also noted that courts should carefully assess requests by

government actors to compel disclosure of personal information since these requests could engage

privacy interests protected by the Canadian Charter of Right's and Freedonn7s

49, In this case, however, the applicants cannot utilize the Criminal Code's search warrant provisions

and are therefore not similarly situated to the Attorney General in Two Financial Institutions. Further,

the applicants are clearly not government actors and their actions therefore do not trigger any Charter

protections. Section 32 of the Charter ensures that the Charier only applies to the relationship between

government and private persons, not to the relationship between private persons in the absence of

governmental action: 79 The applicants are not subject to government control and are not implementing

a government policy or program as the law would require for them to be considered state agents and

part of government.w For these same reasons, the Ontario Court of Justice previously confirmed in

another case that Charter protections do not arise when information is gathered in support of a potential

private prosecution."

5. The Applicants Are Appropriate Persons

50. The applicants are appropriate persons to obtain a Norwich Pharinacal order and pursue a private

prosecution in Canada. The Criminal Code does not limit those who may pursue a private prosecution,

rather providing that "any one who ... believes that any person has committed an indictable offence"

may bring a private prosecution.82 This conclusion is confirmed by the willingness of Canadian courts

to allow private prosecutions brought by public interest groups including, for example, Ecojusticc

(formerly the Sierra Legal Defence Fund), the Chief of the fort McKay Indian Band. the Canadian

Environmental Law Association, and the Sudbury Environmental Law Association.S3

C. The Applicants Meet the Test for a _Norwich Pharmacal Order in this Case

51 . Norwich Pharmaca/ relief is available when the applicant can demonstrate: (i) a bona fide or

reasonable claim, (ii) the third party from which the information is sought is somehow involved in the

acts complained oh (iii) the third party is the only practicable source of the information available, (iv)

the third party can be indemnified for any costs of disclosure and (v) the interests of justice :Favour the

obtaining of disclosure." Here, the applicants can demonstrate each of the live requirements of

Noarich Pharniacal relief and, as a result, the disclosure sought in connection with a potential private

prosecution should be granted.

1. There is a bona fide or reasonable claim

52. The Court of Appeal for Ontario has held that the bona fide or reasonable claim threshold for

Norwich Pharmacal does not require the demonstration of a prima Jack ease. Rather, an applicant is

- IS -

only required to provide evidence sufficient to demonstrate that the claim in question is "not frivolous

or vexatious."85

53. Ontario courts have recognized that the bona fide or reasonable claim threshold reflects the fact

that, in a Norwich Pharinuca/ application, "the applicant merely seeks an opportunity to discover

information that may or may not lead to a claim."" The threshold "is designed to .facilitate access to

J ustice." 87

54. Consistent with the bowl fide or reasonable claim threshold, the Court of Appeal has been clear

that there is no need to study the potential claim "to an exacting standard". In doing so, the Court of

Appeal noted that. in a typical Norwich Pharinaca/ application, "the court is only able to consider the

general parameters of a potential action the applicant may have.

55, in this case, the "bona .fide or reasonable claim" in question is a potential private prosecution of

the Canadian criminal offences of laundering the proceeds of crime and/or being in possession of

property obtained by crime against Jamilah, Murray and/or the Sakto Group. The evidence advanced

by the applicants demonstrates such bonajidc or reasonable claim.

56. In Canada, criminal liability for the offence of laundering; the proceeds of crime extends not only

to dealing with the proceeds of designated offences committed in Canada but also to dealing with the

proceeds of "an act or omission anywhere that, if it had occurred in Canada, would have constituted a

designated offence." 89 The fact that the underlying offences of fraud on the government and breach of

trust by a public officer did not involve Canadian public officials is immaterial."

57. Taib's actions in Malaysia would constitute the Canadian crimes of frauds on the government,9

breach of trust by public ofticer92 and fraud.93 The available evidence clearly demonstrates that Taib

is a foreign corrupt official who has amassed an enormous wealth in numerous countries around the

world through the use of his .family members despite being constitutionally prohibited from holding

an office of profit or engaging in commercial activitv.94

58. Taib's corruption is potentially connected to money laundering offences in Canada in two distinct

time periods. Since 1976, the Criminal Code has made it an offence to be in possession of property

obtained by crime. 95 Since 1989, the Criminal Code has also made it an offence to launder the proceeds

of crime.96 Because Jamilah founded Sakto in 1983, the applicants are evaluating whether there are

reasonable grounds for a private prosecution for both possession of property obtained by crime (1983

onwards) and laundering the proceeds or crime (1989 onwards).

59. The available evidence plainly demonstrates that, on a timeline that has corresponded with Taib

serving as Sarawak's Chief Minister, the Sakto Group has become a real estate empire currently valued

at approximately $250 million and Jamilah has become one of the richest women in Canada despite

By analogy, in the extradition context where the court lutist determine whether foreign charges correspond to Canadian offences to satisfy thedouble criminality rule, the Court or Appeal for Ontario has found that bribery or a foreign public official corresponds to the s. 121(1 1(x) CriminalCode offence or bribing a public, official.The evidence of 'fftib's corruption rcivams largely unchallenged by Jamilah, Murray, the Saki( Group and Taib himself (who was served with allrelevant materials).Grin/hut/ Code, a. 121(1).

founding Sakto as a 23-year old Carlton graduate with no relevant experience and no independent

source of wealth.

60. Based on the available evidence, there is no credible explanation (and none at all advanced by the

target parties) .for the creation, expansion and operation of the Sakto Group other than it having been

funded with the proceeds of 'faib's widespread corruption in Malaysia. The available evidence also

contains various established connections between funds obtained through such corruption, the Sakto

Group and, in turn, Jamilah and Murray. Among other things, Murray has confirmed that Taib provided

Jamilah the funds to start Sakto, a company founded "with a purpose to acquire, develop and operate

real estate".97 The available evidence therefore demonstrates that the affairs of Taib, Jamilah, Murray

and the Sakto Group have various of the exact features of red flags for money laundering in the real

estate sector published by the Financial Action Task Force.98

61. Accordingly, on this record, there is clearly a bona fide or reasonable claim that Jamilah, Murray

and the Sakto Group intentionally or knowingly have utilized the illegal proceeds of Taib's corruption

in Canada, which is required for the criminal offences in question. This is sufficient to cross the

threshold required at the 'first stage of a Norwich 1"harmacal application. Notably, however, in order

to lay the information required to commence a private prosecution, the applicants need not just a bona

fide or reasonable claim but rather "reasonable grounds" to believe that the individuals or entities

named in the information have committed the offences in question.

62. Reasonable grounds is a higher standard, requiring "a suspicion that is grounded in objectively

discernable facts, which could then be subjected to independent judicial scrutiny."9' It is any

information that may potentially increase their "bona fide or reasonable claim" to "reasonable grounds"

to believe the offences in question Were committed that the applicants arc seeking to obtain and

evaluate through this Non t 'ich Pharniacal application.

2. The Third Parties from Whom Disclosure is Sought arc Innocently Involved

63. A financial institution that receives and processes the transfer of .funds allegedly procured by fraud

is an "innocently involved" third party against which a Nonvich Phannacal order may be sought. It is

not required that a financial institution actually have participated in the wrongdoing.10°

64. In this case. RBC has lent Sakto over $25 million between 1989-1994.101 N4anulife has been

Sakto's major commercial lender since 2003 and has registered over $73 million in loans on Sakto's

Preston Square Development.1°2 TD Bank also provided Sakto a mortgage totalling $8, I 74,588 in

1 986.1°3 .Deloitte provided accounting services to the main Said() Group entity, Sakto, from at least

1984 to 1993104 and appears to have also provided accounting services to the four of the American-

based Sakto Group companies including Sakti Holdings in at least June 2006.1°5 Schedules to the draft

order attached as Schedule "I)" to this factum are charts providing more details regarding these

transactions and services. Accordingly, the RBC, TD Bank, Mannlife and Deloitte likely have

important information relevant to evaluating whether there are reasonable grounds for a private

prosecution.

3. The Third Parties arc the Only Practicable Source of Information

65. Courts have recognized that when it is unreasonable to require the applicant to approach the alleged

Wrongdoer for the information, third parties (often financial institutions) become the only practicable

source of the in formation.1°6 Here, Jamilah, Murray and the Sakto Group will not disclose the

information required to assess whether there are reasonable grounds for a private prosecution. Ii

response to this application, they have instead declined to advance any evidence regarding their

unexplained wealth. In these circumstances, the respondents are the only practicable source of the

information sought by the applicants.

4. The Respondents Will Be Indemnified for Any Costs of Disclosure

66. A party seeking a Noio rich Phuioiiacal order must undertake to indemnify the third parties for their

costs of disclosure.m Here, the applicants have undertaken to indemnify the respondents for any

reasonable copying costs incurred by having to comply with any Order granted by this Honourable

Court." They have also posted security for costs and confirmed to the respondents that they are not

making any allegations of wrongdoing against them and will not do so in the future including by

commencing any private prosecution against the respondents.

5. The Interests of Justice Favour Obtaining Disclosure

67. The offence of laundering the proceeds of crime is not a victimless crime. It reduces the resources

available to those in need of government services and undermines the governmental infrastructure that

all citizens rely on."' The Supreme Court of Canada has recognized that corruption is a significant

barrier to international development and "diverts funds from those who are in great need of financial

support."11°

68. Canada's international obligations include providing accountability for corruption and money

laundering by public officials. Canadian courts have confirmed that the participation of Canadians in

the corruption of foreign public officials is an "embarrassinent to all Canadians" that undermines

Canada's effort to promote good governance in the developing world and undermines the

governmental infrastructure in developing countries.1 1 1

69. In this case, Taib's corruption has reduced the governmental resources available to Malaysian

peoples. In Mutang's case, the corruption fundamentally undermined the governmental infrastructure

and democratic protections that he relied on, causing him to flee to Canada as a refugee after the Taib

regime arrested him due to his political activities, 12 The interests of justice favour disclosure aimed at

counteracting Taib's corruption and its widespread impacts. They also .favour disclosure of evidence

to evaluate a potential private prosecution.

70. The right to commence a private prosecution is an ancient common law right that was recognized

by federal statute in 1869 and incorporated into the original Criminal Code of 1892.1 13 The Supreme

Court of Canada has recognized that the right of any person to commence a criminal proceeding by

laying an infOrmation against an offender is "a fundamental precept" and a "fundamental and historical

right,"114 Canadian courts are therefore loath to interfere with the right of private prosecution.1 1'

71. Similarly, the House of Lords has held that a private prosecution provides a remedy for individuals

who wish to see the law entbrced and "remains a valuable constitutional safeguard against inertia or

partiality on the part of authority."1 1' Private prosecutions benefit society as a whole by providing some

additional control over official discretion. -7' More generally, Canadian courts have recognized that the

correct disposal of a criminal investigation is an important public interest."8

72. The procedure of a private prosecution also provides safeguards that weigh in favour of granting

the Norwich Application. If the applicants proceed to a pre-enquete based on any disclosed

information, the pre-enquete will be heard by an independent judicial officer who will assess whether

there is evidence of each essential element of each criminal offence.1 19 Only if the judicial officer is

satisfied that the applicants have demonstrated reasonable grounds that a criminal prosecution will

move forward. The pre-enquete will proceed in private, thereibre minimizing (if not eliminating) any

undue publicity or attention that may be placed on the target parties prior to judicial authorization to

proceed with any private prosecution.

73. Courts have also recognized that the nature and apparent strength of an applicant's case should be

weighed in determining the interests of justice.129 Here, the evidence advanced by the applicants is

extensive, well-documented, largely unchallenged and, considered in its totality, presents a clear

picture of corruption and potential money laundering in Canada warranting the disclosure sought,

74. There are also no Charter issues engaged by the iVon rich Pharmacal order sought by the applicants

including in respect of the section 8 Charter right regarding unreasonable search and seizure. As

detailed at paragraph 101 above, the Charter does not apply to actions taken by the applicants at all. In

any event, the Supreme Court has held that section 8 rights protect a "biographical core of personal

personal choices of the individual." In contrast, commercial records that do not tend to reveal such

information have a weak connection, if any, to the Charier values underlying s. 8.121

75. Here, the applicants are seeking access to financial records that pertain to the Sakto Group of

corporate entities, which the OECD has confirmed are multinational enterprises subject to OECD

guidelines including regarding transparency. They are not seeking access to personal banking, credit

or other information that would tend to reveal intimate details of the lifestyle and personal choices of

Jamilah, Murray, or other individuals. Accordingly, even if the Charter was engaged at all (it is not),

any Charter-based privacy interest would be inherently limited and should yield to the pressing public

interests that the applicants have identified.

D. Conclusion

76. The applicants submit that obtaining intbrmation required to evaluate whether there are reasonable

grounds for a private prosecution is a legitimate purpose for a Norwich Pharmoca/ order. The

applicants have met the test for a Norwich Pharmacal order and disclosure should therefore be ordered.

PART 0, - RELIEF SOUGHT

77. The applicants respectfully request the draft order attached hereto as Schedule "D".

ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
