You’ve Been Served

For those who are not already aware of the events of the past few months I had my military pension “converted” by the Canadian Forces Pension Services and specifically a man calling himself Karthi Thevedranathan and Donna Panuccio have decided on their own to “gift” my pension payments to a Crown corporation calling itself Canada Revenue Agency. I have filed suit in the Superior Courts of Justice in Ontario to try and get remedy to this breach of fiduciary duty and conversion by these two individuals.

I may not have posted as much as I should but I have been busy with a steep learning curve on how to effectively sue these people effectively. Part of my research and a great resource I have used has been an online resource out of Florida called Jurisdictionary.  The people in this community and the assistance with civil procedures has been incredible.  I have served the “respondents” and the third hearing will be on 11 June 2015.  The point of this post is to explain to you that the “process” of remedy is exactly that: a process.  And the first step is you have to be able to say “You’ve been served”.

You must file properly and you must serve the respondent or defendant properly in order for the court to accept or recognize that they have been properly notified to defend against their actions.  I’ve had some issues with this in my current suit as the Rules say you can serve an attorney by e-mail and I was informed that you can serve the respondent by e-mail.  The justice, Justice Flynn, who first heard my motion brought to my attention that the court would not recognize e-mail service despite the modern day advances in communications.  As odd as it seems to us today the courts don’t recognize e-mail as a form of personal service.

So what is considered service when suing someone else?  Notification of an Application or Action is an “old school” system that prefers personal delivery.  What is odd is that this personal delivery can be done on any person who appears to be over the age of 18 at any last known address the respondent or defendant lived.  This factually means that you can drive to the “last known address” of the person and knock on the door.  If someone who “appears” to be over the age of 18 answers and you hand them your documents then the person you are attempting to sue is considered served properly.  But DON’T e-mail it and get an electronic receipt as that isn’t “proper”.

It’s a bit of a mess but it’s true.  Even if the person acknowledges receipt of an electronic service, if the person isn’t an attorney then it isn’t properly served and the person can refuse to answer your claim.  It’s important to know and understand these rules and procedures if you want to use their system to hold them accountable.  That’s why I use quality online research techniques and Jurisdictionary.  The principles and techniques described will allow you to be “pro se” and not look like a fool and cause the courts to bring their backs against you in defense of their proceedings.

You may not like it but until you devise a better way, this is our current system of equity and how we can hold others accountable.  It has actually worked successfully for centuries until recently when people stopped using it.  I encourage you to look into the actual civil courts and how they work and I think you will find them quite useful in resolving your issues.  And best of all is that if you will spend the time to learn their procedures then you can do it yourself and you can win.

Until next time I wish you all peace and blessings,

Rob
