The Law has to change?

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2003



The Supreme Court of Canada says the federal government will not have to pay billions in back-interest on pensions kept in trust for thousands of mentally disabled veterans.

The seven judges were unanimous in their ruling.

The class-action lawsuit involved 25,000 to 35,000 veterans whose pensions were managed by Ottawa between 1918 and 1990. They were judged unable to manage their own finances.

Fewer than 1,000 are still alive.

Ottawa didn't pay the veterans interest on the money in their accounts.

When they died, the principal went to the federal government.

In 1990, the Mulroney government decided to pay the interest, but passed an amendment to the Department of Veterans Affairs Act.

The statute said the veterans had no right to sue for interest on the pensions prior to 1990.

In its decision, the Supreme Court judges ruled the federal government had the right to enact the legislation. The Federal Government can change the Rule anytime.?

The veterans had challenged the statute under the 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights, arguing the bill protected them from expropriation of property. ? We The People of this Country need to

put a stop to government abuse and making some People victim in life.

Government lawyers argued Ottawa managed the pensions to provide vets with living expenses, not provide for the their future generations. ?Who pay For Government Lawyers Living Expenses. ? why do we need so many gov-lawyers.

In the late 1990s, the case was launched on behalf of the late Joseph Patrick Authorson, a Second World War veteran who spent most of the remainder of his life in mental hospitals.

Did Joseph Patrick have Family. don't we live to give our of spring a start in life.?

Ottawa had manged his pensions until 1991, when a doctor found him fit to control his own money. Under federal management, he had not received interest on his pension from 1943 to 1991. Lawyers estimate Ottawa owed Authorson roughly $2 million. ? This would be a Start.

Authorson died in Ontario in 2002 but the case continued in his name.? So how well did Mr.

Authorson live from 1991 until 2002. ? what about this story.?

Dear Mr. Harris:

RE: Richard A. Harris et al v. Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the

Province of New Brunswick as represented by the

Minister of Transportation

Your email of February 20, 2007 to Premier Graham has been referred to me for reply.

You currently have an appeal in the Court of Appeal of New Brunswick from the decision of the Court of Queen’s Bench, dated June 30, 2005 in the above noted matter. The Attorney General is the solicitor of record for the Province of New Brunswick in this appeal, which is referenced in your email to the Premier. All correspondence in relation to this appeal should be forwarded to the attention of David Eidt, solicitor and agent for the Attorney General.

Your email to the Premier also refers to an action which you have commenced against a Mr. Goodwin. I understand from David Eidt that this is Harrison Goodwin, an appraiser. The Province of New Brunswick is not involved in that action and we are therefore unable to comment on it.

Your email complains about the solicitors who represented you in the trial of your claim against the Province and about certain members of the appraisal profession. Mr. Eidt advises me that you are aware that complaints against these persons should be directed to their professional societies or associations. These organizations are responsible for receiving and investigating complaints about the conduct of their members. If appropriate, they have the authority to impose sanctions upon members who are found to be derelict in their duties.

I trust this answers your concerns.

Yours truly,

The Honourable Thomas J. Burke, Q.C.

Attorney General.

I Richard Harris got a E-mail today from a friend or a Goverment corny ? why is he sending this, he know i have little time left. is he trying to hurry me a long.
