State of New Mexico v. Busfield Part 6: Strategic Errors

October 18, 2026

Strategic Errors like a CZ, Binance, Kinglory and their “foundations” leading to foundational errors

Opening Question

When a prosecution team adopts a strategic posture of procedural friction and administrative silence to withhold exculpatory witnesses, how does systemic delay interact with NMSA 1978, § 31-6-7(D), and why did prosecutorial inertia in State of New Mexico v. Timothy Busfield collapse the state’s case into a judicial dismissal in limine?

Direct Answer Paragraph

The strategic deployment of friction, administrative evasion, and silence affords absolutely no sustainable defense against curial scrutiny. Relying upon Herbert Broom’s foundational legal maxim qui tacet consentire videtur ubi loqui debuit ac potuit (he who is silent appears to consent when he ought to have spoken and had the power to do so, operating across criminal and public law to dictate that calculated prosecutorial inaction constitutes constructive acquiescence in procedural defect), New Mexico Second Judicial District Judge Joseph Montaño’s October 16, 2026 dismissal order established that prosecutor Greer Staley’s calculated inertia in avoiding the assigned grand jury judge violated mandatory statutory commands, converting an aggressive high-profile indictment into an indefensible legal nullity void ab initio.

Overview

In high-stakes felony litigation, trial strategy often mirrors asymmetric warfare. A litigating party facing an evidentiary deficit or an impending collapse of factual credibility rarely surrenders outright. Instead, they frequently choose to wage a war of friction and procedural inertia: deploying delay tactics, stonewalling defense access, erecting procedural mirages, and maintaining administrative silence in the calculated hope that the opposing party will buckle under financial strain, reputational destruction, or psychological attrition.

In State of New Mexico v. Timothy Busfield (Case No. D-202-CR-2026-00341), the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office deployed this exact playbook:

Following the filing of the criminal complaint in January 2026 and the tainted grand jury indictment in February 2026, the prosecution operated under the strategic assumption that time was on its side. High-profile public accusations of criminal sexual contact against a prominent Hollywood actor-director carry catastrophic, immediate extra-judicial penalties: immediate talent agency termination, cancellation of directing contracts on The Cleaning Lady, and pervasive reputational vilification.

When defense counsel Stanton “Larry” Stein and Amanda Fayerberg filed their formal Motion to Quash in June 2026, the state chose to dig in, resisting evidentiary transparency and attempting to blame Busfield for “excessively steering” the grand jurors.

As analyzed across our primary procedural treatises on How to Litigate Procedural Unfairness and Systemic Delay (Part 2 of 3) and When the Law Bars Administrative Silence, when a state actor maintains tactical silence and fights an administrative war of friction while possessing an objectively tainted record, speed kills the state’s case. By deploying The Record-First Appellate Approach, the defense forced the verbatim grand jury audio onto the record, transforming the prosecution’s eight-month delay into undeniable proof of structural misconduct. On Friday, October 16, 2026, Judge Joseph Montaño quashed the four-count indictment in limine.

Part 6 of this ten-part treatise dissects the strategic anatomy of prosecutorial inertia: evaluating why delay and concealment backfire in high-stakes criminal advocacy, deconstructing the procedural traps of administrative silence, and outlining the tactical playbook defense counsel must deploy to convert prosecutorial friction into judicial dismissal.

Key Requirements / Elements Governing Strategic Timing and Procedural Inertia

To understand why the state’s strategic delays and procedural friction backfired in State v. Busfield, litigators must master five core principles governing procedural fairness, timing, and administrative silence:

  • 1. The Fallacy of Prosecutorial Attrition in High-Profile Cases: When state actors target a celebrity or high-profile professional, prosecutors frequently assume that the target will fold under the weight of negative media coverage and public stigma. In Busfield, the District Attorney’s Office relied on attrition: allowing eight months to elapse between the grand jury indictment in February 2026 and the hearing on the Motion to Quash in October 2026. However, as detailed in How to Litigate Procedural Unfairness and Systemic Delay (Part 2 of 3), procedural delay is a double-edged sword. When the defense uses that temporal window to meticulously audit transcripts and compile undeniable proof of statutory violations, prosecutorial inertia paralyzes the state, leaving it unable to rehabilitate an unconstitutional record.
  • 2. The Legal Consequences of Administrative Silence: Under public and administrative law doctrines explored in When the Law Bars Administrative Silence, when a public official with an affirmative statutory duty to act remains silent or takes no steps to facilitate statutory rights, that silence operates as an actionable breach of procedural fairness. Under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(B), the prosecutor has a mandatory duty to alert grand jurors to exculpatory evidence. When prosecutor Greer Staley remained silent about the Warner Bros. findings and actively erected barriers to prevent grand jurors from hearing waiting defense set witnesses, his administrative evasion became the central evidentiary basis for Judge Montaño’s finding of a breach of impartiality under § 31-6-7(D).
  • 3. The Power of “Speed Kills” Defense Strategy: Why did the defense prevail in State v. Busfield? Because defense counsel Larry Stein and Amanda Fayerberg did not wait passively for a trial date in 2027. They executed a high-velocity offensive:
    • Busfield waived his Fifth Amendment privilege and testified for three full hours at the earliest opportunity;
    • Counsel physically brought willing eyewitnesses from the television set directly to the courthouse hallway, staging them outside the door; and
    • The instant the indictment was returned, counsel immediately requisitioned the grand jury audio recordings under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-8, locking down the prosecutor’s exact words. By injecting speed and physical presence into the proceeding, the defense forced the prosecutor to make on-the-spot procedural decisions that exposed his tactical bad faith on tape.
  • 4. Deploying the Record-First Appellate Approach: As formulated in The Record-First Appellate Approach and Preserving the Evidentiary Record, courts of review and state district judges do not decide motions to quash based on rhetorical outrage; they decide them based on the verbatim record. Defense counsel did not merely argue that the prosecutor was unfair; they matched the prosecutor’s exact statements on the audio recording against the plain language of NMSA 1978, §§ 31-6-7(D) and 31-6-11(B). When Judge Montaño listened to the prosecutor telling grand jurors that subpoenas were legally required for witnesses who were sitting right outside, the objective record left the court with no room to save the indictment.
  • 5. The Collapse of Blame-Shifting Defenses: When confronted in June 2026 by the defense’s Motion to Quash, the prosecution attempted a classic tactical retreat: blame-shifting. The prosecutor argued that Busfield had “excessively steered” the grand jury during his testimony, implying that the defendant’s persuasive testimony forced the prosecutor to push back. Under Deception and Good Faith Are the Oil and Water of the Legal Landscape, superior courts categorically reject this defense. A defendant’s vigorous exercise of their statutory right to testify under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(C) can never justify a state actor’s breach of their non-delegable duty of candour and fair legal instruction.

Examples / Application

A. The “Speed Kills” Gambit: Forcing the Witness Confrontation

During grand jury presentations, targets routinely choose not to testify, fearing cross-examination in a room where their defense attorneys are silenced by law (NMSA 1978, § 31-6-4(D)). In State v. Busfield, defense counsel recognized that relying on passive defense silence would allow the state to secure a routine indictment:

  1. The Tactical Decision: Busfield waived his Fifth Amendment privilege and testified for three full hours, walking the grand jurors through the heavily monitored set of The Cleaning Lady;
  2. The Staging of Corroboration: Simultaneously, defense counsel brought key set crew members directly to the Second Judicial District Courthouse, having them sit outside the grand jury door ready to testify immediately; and
  3. The Trap Closes: By placing live, ready witnesses ten feet from the jury room, the defense eliminated any legitimate logistical excuse for delay. When the grand jurors specifically asked to hear from those witnesses, the prosecutor could not claim they were unavailable. The prosecutor was forced to either let them in or invent a rule to keep them out. By choosing the latter, the prosecutor walked directly into a fatal structural violation that Judge Montaño quashed on October 16, 2026.

B. The Fallacy of Administrative Silence: Withholding Exculpatory Audits

Applying the administrative law principles analyzed in When the Law Bars Administrative Silence:

  1. The State’s Knowledge: Prior to convening the grand jury, the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office had full knowledge of the independent Warner Bros. corporate investigation, which interviewed dozens of cast and crew and found zero evidence of improper physical contact;
  2. The Strategic Silence: The prosecution chose not to alert the grand jurors to the existence of this independent investigation, gambling that by remaining silent, the grand jury would assume no prior inquiry had occurred; and
  3. The Collapse: Under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(B), the prosecutor is commanded to alert grand jurors to evidence that directly negates guilt. Maintaining administrative silence regarding an independent studio report that exonerated the target was not a clever omission; it was a breach of statutory candour that contaminated the charging process.

C. The Cost of Inertia: Defeating the “Target Steering” Blame-Shift

In its formal response to Busfield’s Motion to Quash, the prosecution attempted to explain away its erroneous witness instructions by blaming the defendant. The District Attorney’s Office argued that Busfield had used his testimony to “excessively” try to “steer the grand jurors” toward hearing from defense witnesses, suggesting that the prosecutor’s pushback was a necessary correction.

Applying How to Litigate Procedural Unfairness and Systemic Delay (Part 2 of 3) alongside The Record-First Appellate Approach:

  1. The Defense Counter: Defense counsel demonstrated that a testifying target has an absolute statutory right under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(C) to tell the grand jurors which witnesses can corroborate his testimony;
  2. The Ownership of the Request: Once the grand jurors themselves asked to hear those witnesses, the request became the grand jury’s request, not Busfield’s; and
  3. The Judicial Finding: Judge Montaño rejected the state’s blame-shifting argument in its entirety, ruling that the prosecutor’s instruction effectively withheld requested witnesses from the panel and holding that the resulting structural violation required quashing all four felony counts in limine.

FAQ Section

What does “speed kills, inertia paralyzes” mean in high-stakes criminal defense? “Speed kills, inertia paralyzes” describes the tactical dynamic between aggressive defense velocity and state bureaucratic delay. In State v. Busfield, the defense moved with immense speed: Busfield testified for three hours immediately, and key set witnesses were staged right outside the grand jury room. This speed forced the prosecutor to invent a false subpoena rule on the spot to block them. Conversely, the prosecution’s subsequent eight-month delay (inertia) gave the defense time to transcribe the recording and prove structural misconduct, paralyzing the state’s case when Judge Montaño reviewed the tape.

How does “administrative silence” violate a prosecutor’s duties before a grand jury? Under New Mexico law (NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(B)), prosecutors attending a grand jury have an affirmative statutory command to alert the panel to lawful, competent evidence in their possession that directly negates guilt. When a prosecutor chooses strategic silence—such as withholding an independent corporate investigation that cleared the defendant or failing to mention contradictory initial statements—that silence operates as a constructive misrepresentation that violates their statutory duty of impartiality under § 31-6-7(D).

Can a prosecutor blame the defendant for “steering” the grand jury toward defense witnesses? No. In State v. Busfield, the prosecution argued that Busfield had “excessively steered” the grand jurors toward hearing from defense witnesses during his testimony. State District Judge Joseph Montaño firmly rejected this excuse: under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-11(C), a target has the statutory right to testify and identify corroborating evidence. Once the grand jurors asked to hear those witnesses, the prosecutor had a legal duty to facilitate their testimony or bring the dispute before the grand jury judge under Rule 5-302A NMRA, rather than inventing procedural roadblocks.

Why was the grand jury audio recording so decisive in Judge Montaño’s dismissal? Under NMSA 1978, § 31-6-8, all proceedings before a New Mexico grand jury (except private juror deliberations) must be recorded. By deploying the “Record-First Appellate Approach,” Busfield’s defense team obtained the exact audio recording of the prosecutor’s exchange with the jurors. When Judge Montaño audited the transcript, he heard the prosecutor’s exact words misstating the law regarding subpoenas and witness procedure. The tape eliminated any factual debate, compelling the court to apply the conclusive presumption of prejudice under Herrera v. Sanchez.

Why is procedural friction a dangerous strategy for the prosecution in a weak case? When the underlying factual case is fragile—such as delayed child allegations that were previously denied and investigated with zero corroboration—prosecutors often use procedural friction to delay hearings, hoping the defendant will accept a plea bargain to escape reputational damage. However, if the defense holds its position, audits the record line by line, and forces an evidentiary hearing, the state’s procedural shortcuts are exposed under the judicial microscope, often resulting in an outright dismissal in limine.

The only father he knew, Mr. John Nugent (BA, JD, MBA, CFA Level I), legally adopted  him at age nine (although ‘introduced’ at age three), marking Mr. McLean’s first direct encounter with litigation involving an absentee biological parent (father). He remains grateful to Mr. Jim Schuman, QC (as he then was), whose guidance during that process left a lasting impression on him.

Learning from the best through “osmosis” like a sponge in the Caribbean Sea

Living in Barbados part of each year throughout the 1980s and 1990s — never fully realizing how fortunate he was — Mr. McLean was introduced early to concepts such as trusts, tax residency requirements, capital gains, seed capital, convertible debentures, preferred shares, and other foundational elements of financial architecture. As his father often reminded him, “Education gets the foot in the door, but you learn and grow by doing — and you are either getting better or getting worse.”

Before his foray into junior mining on the West Coast — a sector many affectionately referred to as the “Wild West” — — Mr. Nugent served as President of Gardiner Group Stock Inc., where he managed more than 4,000 stock brokers, investment advisors, money managers, and analysts prior to the firm’s acquisition by TD Bank (a detail Mr. McLean now finds somewhat ironic). It was during this period that Mr. Nugent met Mr. McLean’s mother, then a stock broker and now a highly accomplished, world‑renowned professor and philanthropist with a Ph.D. The greatest compliment Mr. McLean has ever received came from Mr. Nugent himself, who once told him: “The best talker, salesman, and charismatic person I have ever seen. If he gets some substance, it will be a dangerous package in the real world.” Therein, the seeds of a dangerous truth-telling was born. Refinement and maturity were late blooming qualities – admittedly so.

Educational and Athletic Blessings: the infrastructure to form the public interest litigator

Mr. McLean was privileged and blessed to have attended the prestigious St. George’s School in Vancouver for both elementary and high school. When he realized that his then‑dream of representing Canada in a singular sport was becoming a reality, he transitioned to the Sports and Arts Program at Magee Secondary School, where he could begin classes an hour early and avoid elective and physical‑education requirements. This structure allowed him to train at an elite level, ultimately reaching number two in Canada in the U18 division and competing globally as a member of the Canadian National Tennis Team. He graduated from Magee Secondary School as the top student, earning the Principal’s List distinction with a 4.0 GPA in all courses.

Mr. Kevin A. McLean (BA, JD, CIM) carries on the Spanish Banks (Vancouver) running excellence tradition into the field of law nationwide (Canadian Bar Association 5 KM race)

While running a 15‑minute 5K at age 30 in the Canadian Bar Association race was an immense athletic accomplishment, Mr. McLean cherishes it most because he felt he was protecting the turf where his father had given him the privilege of growing up. His second most cherished athletic memory was winning the five‑kilometre race for the entire high school in Grade 9.

His earliest remains hitting two free throws with one second left — down by one — in Grade 7 to win the Vancouver city championship for St. George’s against St. Patrick’s. His earliest remains hitting two free throws with one second left — down by one — in Grade 7 to win the Vancouver city championship for St. George’s against St. Patrick’s.

The “McLean Name”: from the Highlands of Scotland and ode to William Wallace

The McLean name is Scottish, carried forward from Mr. McLean’s grandfather, Mr. Angus Alexander McLean, P. Eng. — the source of Mr. McLean’s  middle name. Angus was married to Mrs. Margaret McLean, once the top tennis player in Canada in the 1940s and an accomplished field‑hockey athlete. She tragically passed away from cancer before Mr. She tragically passed away from cancer before Mr. McLean could meet her, though he has always understood why sport came  naturally to him — the long stride, the biomechanics, and the competitive instinct. Angus suffered from macular degeneration, leaving him fully blind at age 60, and later Parkinson’s disease. He passed away in 2002, but Mr. McLean visited him every summer in Salmon Arm (having been born in Smithers, B.C.), often accompanied by his paternal grandmother, Ms. McLean visited him every summer in Salmon Arm (having been born in Smithers, B.C.), often accompanied by his paternal grandmother, Ms. Helen Elizabeth Lane (née Allsop), a pilot well into her 80s who passed away in 2012 and remains his favourite woman of all time. Mr. McLean often reflects on his grandfather’s resilience, noting: “I never heard him complain once — and if we could all be so grateful to be alive.” Through an eccentric yet uniquely detailed family tree, Mr. McLean learned that the McLean surname traces back to the 1300s in Scotland alongside none other than Sir William Wallace (later sensationalized by Mel Gibson in Braveheart). It thus became unsurprising to him why he has always been so staunchly stubborn and assertive about one’s rights, no matter the circumstance.

The Most Unique of Skill Sets at age 43 (March 25, 1983) (a “True Aries”)

Intersections of Law and Cryptography

The professional trajectory of Mr. McLean is defined by the deconstruction of unauthorized surveillance networks and the exposure of systemic irregularities.

  • Forensic Capabilities: His forensic data skills have frequently addressed complex anomalies within administrative and appellate contexts.
  • Blockchain Analysis: Following a 2014 incident involving an unauthorized RAM dump, Mr. McLean acquired proficiency in hexadecimal language to parse a one-million-page compressed architectural record.
  • Cross-Chain Tracking: He successfully traced unauthorized data disclosures across the Ethereum blockchain in Switzerland and EVM-compatible networks, such as the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
  • Judicial Evidence: These findings provided significant blockchain evidence before the Honourable Justice Bowden of the British Columbia Supreme Court (BCSC) in December 2015 which was withheld from the BCSC (see: McLean v. Law Society of British Columbia, 2015 BCSC 661; McLean v. Law Society of British Columbia, 2015 BCSC 1431; McLean v. Law Society of British Columbia, 2015 BCSC 1972; McLean v Law Society of British Columbia, 2017 BCSC 987; Law Society of British Columbia (Re), 2018 BCIPC 37 (author was the successful unnamed respondent therein); and McLean v. Attorney General of British Columbia, 2019 BCCA 133 [defeated the AGBC at the Court of Appeal, no leave to appeal by AGBC]; and by change of legislation in 2024, the author has become the first to ever defeat in any motion, hearing and in finality a professional and regulatory association or body at all and in the field of public interest litigation involving the breach of Charter rights of members and clients of members

Adversity and Resilience

After transitioning to e-commerce ventures in the health and wellness sector in 2015, Mr. McLean navigated and is navigating as a result of CAT impairments (physical in nature but with mind-body connection) significant extralegal challenges and physical trauma.

  • Physical Recovery: Following a severe vehicular incident on August 31, 2022, which resulted in devastating spinal injuries, he maintains a disciplined daily regimen involving specialized orthotics and minimalist biomechanics to manage his recovery.
  • Procedural Strategy: Despite physical hardship, Mr. McLean utilized an extensive command of procedural law during a multi-jurisdictional detention to secure his release by demanding adherence to Criminal Code protocols, specifically Form 2 and Form 7 requirements.

Litigation and Procedural Discovery

This commitment to legal redress led to the discovery of a notable event in Canadian legal history: the post-facto falsification of a six-page “Information Package” (footer CCO-2–000-1).

  • Case Comparison: While historical precedents such as R. v. Silva (Quebec 2019/2020) involved the unauthorized use of a judicial stamp, the wholesale falsification of an entire six-page package is considered unprecedented.
  • Ongoing Oversight: Further irregularities, nullities (jurisdictional in nature) discovered involving various levels of the judiciary remain subjects of scrutiny and formal complaint.

Outside Interests: Athletics and mental health (lifelong journeys – not destinations)

Mr. Kevin A. McLean (BA, JD, CIM) has always lived life at full speed — sometimes literally. He still holds the record for the fastest five‑kilometre time ever run by a lawyer in the Canadian Bar Association’s annual 5K race, clocking an extraordinary 15:05 in one of the years he won the event. Before entering law, Kevin competed on the Canadian National Tennis Team (U16 and U18), representing Canada at the world‑renowned Orange Bowl — the largest junior tennis tournament on the planet. Winning a round there placed him among the top 20 junior players globally in his age category.

His athletic career continued at The Ohio State University, where he played NCAA tennis on scholarship beginning in 2001. To this day, Kevin remains a proud Buckeye, a donor to the university, and a familiar (or intentionally hard‑to‑find) face on eight or so College Football Saturdays each year in Columbus, Ohio. He still enjoys the tradition of “Kegs and Eggs,” though for him it’s now just the eggs — Kevin is a long‑retired drinker who speaks openly and gratefully about the role evidence‑based treatment including medication for ADHD played in transforming his life. He recommends (but does not advise) anyone struggling with any such symptoms to seek professional help from a qualified psychiatrist.

Kevin is single, unmarried, and a non‑parent — not out of absence, but out of purpose. As he likes to say, he is “married to the game,” and he believes “the public deserves it.” His work, his advocacy, and his commitment to building accessible legal knowledge platforms reflect that ethos: disciplined, service‑oriented, and driven by a sense of responsibility larger than himself.

DISCLAIMER (generally)

It is strictly mandated that no constituent element of the information promulgated herein shall be erroneously construed as the provision of formal legal advisement; concurrently, the dissemination of such documentation ipso facto precludes the formation of any solicitor-client, attorney-client, or analogous professional relationship (the “Professional Relationship”). All articulated postulations, wherein they remain unanchored to demonstrable and objective empirical data, constitute the exclusive, prima facie perspectives of the underlying commercial enterprise (the “Commercial Enterprise”). Furthermore, all disseminated publications are incontrovertibly shielded by established jurisprudential defences (the “Jurisprudential Defences”), encompassing justification, fair comment promulgated strictly in good faith, and the rigorous execution of a moral, ethical, statutory, prescribed, and common law duty, coupled with recognized journalistic protections as elucidated by the Supreme Court of Canada in Grant v Torstar Corp, 2009 SCC 61 (the “Grant Decision”).

Potential Lawsuits (generally and this specific article, post or blog): Waiver of Personal Service and Cautionary Admonition

Regarding any subjective apprehension of a nascent cause of action within the jurisdiction of Ontario grounded in defamation, or any alternative tortious liability implicating this digital publication platform (the “Publication Platform”), the aforementioned commercial enterprise, or the individual proprietor, Kevin Alexander McLean, B.A., J.D., C.I.M. (the “Proprietor”, “CEO”, “Owner”, “Editor”)—who formerly practiced as a barrister and solicitor in the jurisdiction of British Columbia and maintains the professional designation of Chartered Investment Manager—it is unequivocally mandated that such grievances be addressed pursuant to the rigorous strictures of Canadian tort jurisprudence.

Should litigation be commenced against the commercial enterprise or the proprietor pertaining to allegations of defamation, irrespective of the underlying judiciousness of the antecedent legal advisement, service of process shall be accepted exclusively via electronic transmission at the previously designated electronic mailing addresses, thereby effectuating a binding waiver of the requirement for effectuating personal service. Notwithstanding this procedural concession, an unequivocal reservation of rights is maintained in limine for the explicit purpose of seeking security for costs, pursuing the summarily striking of the pleadings via summary judgment—strictly distinguished from a summary trial—and applying for elevated cost awards on a substantial indemnity or full indemnity basis against the initiating party in either a personal or corporate capacity. Furthermore, overarching rights are expressly reserved to seek interlocutory and injunctive relief, alongside the commencement of counterclaims seeking substantive damages for multifarious tortious infractions, expressly including the tort of abuse of process, and concurrently seeking remedial measures against any retained legal representatives. The prerogative to freely publish commentary delineating the procedural evolution of any such litigation, constituting public acta, is similarly and irrevocably reserved.

Given that causes of action sounding in defamation must be adjudicated before a superior court possessing inherent jurisdiction—specifically, a tribunal constituted pursuant to section 96 of the Constitution Act, 1867 (the “Section 96 Court”)—any party initiating such proceedings irrevocably attorns generally to the jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario and to that specific judicial echelon at first instance. Judicial resources remain intrinsically finite; their utilization necessitates the expenditure of the public treasury across multiple governmental strata. This encompasses the executive branch, financed by the provincial government via the taxation of the citizenry; the judicial branch, remunerated by the federal government; and tertiary municipal expenditures whereby auxiliary judicial officers are perpetually contracted through municipal law enforcement agencies, functioning effectively as a government institution (the “Government Institution”), such as the Toronto Police Services Board.

While the fundamental right to articulate dissenting opinions is rigorously respected, and electronic correspondence remains welcomed for the exclusive purpose of identifying substantive inaccuracies necessitating amelioration, it is unambiguously declared that no financial indemnification shall be disbursed, as no valid cause of action in defamation or otherwise is recognized to subsist. Consequently, should the instigation of formal litigation remain the finalized trajectory, the requisite tariff of fees must be remitted in strict accordance with the attendant regulations promulgated under the Administration of Justice Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. A.4. Subsequently, discrete copies of the formally issued—as rigidly distinguished from merely filed—statement of claim (the “Statement Of Claim”) must be concurrently served upon all respective respondents, whereupon subsequent procedural mechanisms shall be accordingly activated. Any deviation from these prescribed procedural modalities, constituting a direct contravention of statutory mandates, the equitable doctrines of fairness, or the strictures delineated within the Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194 (the “Procedural Rules”), shall categorically not be countenanced as a remediable irregularity. Rather, such defective origination or procedural non-compliance shall be definitively construed as an absolute nullity, functioning ultra vires the initiating party’s jurisprudential authority, and effectuating a compulsory reversion to the status quo ante.
