The Jurisdictional Adjudication of Administrative Irregularity: Rebutting the Presumption of Regularity, Incomplete Records, and Jurisdictional Nullity
Opening Question
When a public regulatory board, statutory tribunal, or administrative delegate renders an adverse determination against a citizen while concealing missing procedural entries, broken hearing recordings, or unrecorded back-channel communications, does the common-law presumption of regularity insulate the state from judicial scrutiny, or does proven record-keeping failure rebut the presumption, rendering the administrative adjudication an absolute jurisdictional nullity?
Direct Answer Paragraph
Procedural immunity is systematically denied to statutory administrative tribunals relying upon the presumption of regularity. Relying upon Herbert Broom’s equitable maxim omnia praesumuntur contra spoliatorem, systemic record-keeping breakdowns are condemned by superior courts, rendering defective and unverified administrative determinations absolute incurable jurisdictional legal nullities.
Overview
Within the architecture of Canadian public and administrative law, public decision-makers—ranging from professional discipline committees and municipal planning bodies to human rights tribunals and environmental review panels—enjoy an initial evidentiary advantage known as the presumption of regularity (omnia praesumuntur rite et solemniter esse acta). Under this ancient common-law doctrine, the law presumes that public officials and statutory tribunals execute their administrative functions properly, lawfully, and in accordance with all necessary statutory formalities, unless cogent evidence demonstrates the contrary.
Historically, administrative tribunals and regulatory agencies weaponized this presumption as an impenetrable liability shield. When an aggrieved licensee, property owner, or applicant challenged a tribunal order on judicial review, government counsel routinely asserted that absent direct proof of subjective malice, the tribunal must be presumed to have observed all statutory procedures, considered all relevant evidence, and complied with the principles of natural justice.
Canadian superior courts and appellate jurisprudence, anchored by the Supreme Court of Canada’s modernized administrative law framework in Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Vavilov, 2019 SCC 65, and the landmark Ontario Court of Appeal authority in Keeprite Workers’ Independent Union v. Keeprite Products Ltd., have systematically dismantled this administrative absolutism. The presumption of regularity is an evidentiary presumption, not an absolute rule of substantive law. The instant an applicant presents credible, objective evidence demonstrating an operational or procedural default, the presumption of regularity completely evaporates.
A profound constitutional and jurisdictional fracture materializes when an administrative body experiences systemic record-keeping and procedural failure:
- The Incomplete Record of Proceedings: Under Section 20 of Ontario’s Statutory Powers Procedure Act (SPPA) and coordinate provincial enactments, tribunals are legally required to maintain an unblemished record (including the initiating notice, exhibits, rulings, and transcripts). Where a tribunal fails to record oral evidence, destroys digital audio logs, or omits contested disclosures, the statutory foundation of the proceeding is fractured.
- Back-Channel and Ex Parte Contamination: Where tribunal staff or panel members conduct unrecorded, off-the-record meetings with complainants, receive unsworn administrative memos, or consult institutional legal counsel who rewrite reasons behind closed doors (Consolidated-Bathurst), the integrity of the process is compromised.
- Altered Timestamps and Synthetic Dockets: Where administrative registries backdate decisions, alter electronic dockets, or overwrite historical audit trails, the state commits actionable evidentiary spoliation under McDougall v. Black & Decker Canada Inc.
When the presumption of regularity is rebutted, the administrative state is stripped of its protective buffer. Under the Keeprite exception, superior courts admit extrinsic affidavit and digital forensic evidence to expose the true procedural history that the tribunal suppressed.
Applying the doctrine of nullity, superior courts dictate that an administrative tribunal derives its coercive jurisdiction strictly from lawful statutory compliance. Where a decision is born from a corrupted, unrecorded, or irregular administrative process, the tribunal acts coram non judice (not before a judge). The reviewing superior court issues an order in the nature of certiorari, quashing the tainted administrative decision ab initio as an absolute jurisdictional nullity.

The Complete 3-Part Appellate & Administrative Series Index
This comprehensive three-part legal treatise examines the procedural, evidentiary, and post-judgment mechanisms governing public interest appellate litigation, administrative record integrity, and court order enforcement across Canadian superior courts:
- Part 1 of 3: The Jurisprudence of Intervener Standing: Navigating Public Interest Thresholds in Constitutional Challenges — Analyzing the strict three-part common-law test under Rule 13, avoiding the trap of redundancy, distinct versus duplicative perspectives, and drafting compelling intervention records in provincial Courts of Appeal.
- Part 2 of 3 (Current): Contesting Administrative Irregularity: Rebutting the Presumption of Regularity in Statutory Tribunal Adjudications — Deconstructing the common-law doctrine omnia praesumuntur rite et solemniter esse acta, unmasking missing database logs and timeline gaps under Section 20 of the SPPA, the Keeprite extrinsic exception, and converting administrative record breaches into fatal jurisdictional nullities.
- Part 3 of 3: The Mechanics of Appellate Draft Orders: Litigating Post-Judgment Compliance and Enforceable Remedies — Formulating the procedural playbook for settling contested draft orders under Rule 59, enforcing mandatory injunctions against recalcitrant regulators, drafting unambiguous operational mandates, and supervising post-judgment compliance under Doucet-Boudreau.
Key Requirements / Elements to Rebut the Presumption of Regularity
To successfully shatter the presumption of regularity, prove administrative irregularity, and quash a tribunal order in superior court, counsel must establish:
- The Production of Objective Factual Contradictions: Counsel cannot rely on bare speculation or subjective distrust; the applicant must tender concrete, objective evidence—such as contradictory digital metadata, missing court reporter certificates, or unrecorded emails—proving that the administrative body failed to observe required statutory or natural justice formalities.
- The Statutory Breach of Section 20 of the SPPA: Counsel must audit the official Record of Proceedings transmitted to the superior court, demonstrating that the tribunal omitted mandatory statutory components: notices, written exhibits, transcript telemetry, or interlocutory directions.
- The Invocation of the Keeprite Extrinsic Affidavit Exception: To overcome the historic Nat Bell Liquors rule (which confines judicial review to the face of the record), counsel must tender detailed extrinsic affidavits from participants proving that the record transmitted is incomplete, fraudulent, or conceals off-the-record procedural misconduct.
- The Demonstration of Institutional Contamination (Consolidated-Bathurst): Where tribunal consultation occurred behind closed doors, counsel must prove that institutional advisors, non-panel chairs, or board counsel introduced new factual arguments or exercised coercive influence over the decision-makers without providing the parties an opportunity to respond.
- The Establishment of Subject-Matter Jurisdictional Loss (Coram Non Judice): The applicant must demonstrate that the procedural default was not a minor clerical slip, but an incurable failure that severed the tribunal’s statutory authority, rendering the resulting order an absolute nullity void ab initio.
Examples / Application
A. The Unrecorded In-Camera Disciplinary Session and the Rebutted Presumption
A professional engineering regulator initiates disciplinary proceedings against a consulting engineer. Following a four-day hearing, the panel chair invites the prosecuting counsel into private chambers to discuss “procedural housekeeping.” The meeting is unrecorded, and the engineer’s defense counsel is excluded. Two weeks later, the panel releases a decision revoking the engineer’s professional license, stating in its reasons that the regulator acted with total institutional regularity throughout the process.
On judicial review in the Divisional Court, the regulator asserts the presumption of regularity, claiming that the in-chambers conference was an innocent scheduling discussion that caused no prejudice.
The Divisional Court quashes the revocation ab initio. Applying Baker v. Canada, Keeprite Workers’, and the Consolidated-Bathurst doctrine, the court rules that holding a private, unrecorded meeting with prosecuting counsel completely shatters the presumption of regularity. The engineer was denied the fundamental right to know the case to meet and test the state’s communications. An administrative body cannot cloak secret meetings behind the presumption of regularity. The disciplinary revocation is declared an absolute jurisdictional nullity, and the regulator is prohibited from re-hearing the charges.
B. The Vanished Digital Audio Logs and Section 20 SPPA Non-Compliance
A municipal planning tribunal denies a commercial real estate developer’s application for an essential zoning variance. The developer applies for judicial review, alleging that the tribunal member exhibited reasonable apprehension of bias during the hearing by constantly shouting at the developer’s witnesses. When the tribunal clerk transmits the Record of Proceedings under Section 10 of the Judicial Review Procedure Act, the clerk includes a certificate stating: “Due to an administrative technical error, the digital recording of the hearing was not saved to the server and no audio log exists.”
The developer’s litigation counsel tenders sworn extrinsic affidavits from three independent attendees detailing the member’s aggressive conduct and disparaging remarks. The municipality argues the court cannot consider the affidavits because judicial review is restricted to the written record.
The Divisional Court rejects the municipality’s argument and admits the extrinsic affidavits under the Keeprite exception. The court rules that Section 20 of the SPPA mandates the preservation of hearing records. The failure of court administration to record the hearing destroyed the presumption of regularity. Because the tribunal’s own failure deprived the court of an objective record to review the bias claim, the court draws an adverse inference against the tribunal. The zoning refusal is quashed as an administrative nullity, and an order of mandamus issues commanding a fresh hearing before an untainted panel.
C. The Altered Database Timestamps in Environmental Enforcement
A provincial Ministry of the Environment issues an emergency administrative stop-work order and a $500,000 fine against an industrial recycling facility, alleging that the facility failed to submit mandatory soil tests by “March 15.” The company’s directors swear they uploaded the tests on March 14 via the ministry’s electronic portal. The ministry produces a database printout showing an upload timestamp of “March 16,” arguing that government database printouts enjoy an unshakeable presumption of regularity.
Counsel for the facility obtains a court order for an independent digital forensic inspection of the ministry’s web portal server logs.
The digital forensic examiner extracts the native server access logs and database Change Data Capture (CDC) streams under Section 31.2 of the Canada Evidence Act. The audit exposes that:
- The company’s upload successfully cleared network firewalls on March 14 at 4:18 PM; and
- A database administrator manually executed an SQL
UPDATEcommand on March 17 that retroactively altered the database timestamp to read “March 16” to justify the statutory penalty.
The superior court delivers a blistering judgment. The judge rules that proving active metadata manipulation obliterates the presumption of regularity. Applying the maxim omnia praesumuntur contra spoliatorem and Lazarus Estates Ltd. v. Beasley, the court strikes down the stop-work order and fine as fraudulent nullities, awards $75,000 in full-indemnity special costs against the ministry, and refers the database administrator to the provincial police for criminal investigation.

FAQ Section
What is the “presumption of regularity” in Canadian administrative law?
The presumption of regularity (omnia praesumuntur rite et solemniter esse acta) is a common-law legal rule that presumes public officials, regulatory boards, and statutory tribunals have performed their duties properly, lawfully, and in accordance with all necessary formalities, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. However, it is an evidentiary presumption, not an absolute legal shield; it evaporates the moment an applicant presents credible proof of procedural defects, missing records, or bias.
What is the “Keeprite exception” and why is it essential on judicial review?
Under the historic common-law rule in R. v. Nat Bell Liquors Ltd., a court on judicial review inspects only the official record sent by the tribunal (the “face of the record”); you cannot introduce new evidence. The Keeprite exception is a foundational rule of natural justice: you CAN submit new extrinsic affidavits if that evidence is necessary to prove that the official record is incomplete, that the tribunal sanitized its files, or that a breach of procedural fairness occurred off the record.
How does an incomplete tribunal record violate procedural fairness?
Under Section 20 of the SPPA and the Supreme Court’s ruling in Vavilov, an administrative decision must be justified and intelligible in light of the factual and legal constraints of the record. If a tribunal fails to record the oral hearing, loses transcripts, or deletes exhibits, the reviewing court cannot determine whether the decision was supported by the evidence or was arbitrary. This prevents meaningful judicial review, constituting a structural breach of natural justice.
What happens if an administrative body alters electronic timestamps or logs?
Altering database records, changing timestamps, or deleting historical audit trails constitutes actionable evidentiary spoliation. Under McDougall v. Black & Decker and the maxim omnia praesumuntur contra spoliatorem, the superior court will formally presume that the altered or destroyed metadata would have proven the public body acted unlawfully or in bad faith. The court will quash the administrative decision as a fraudulent nullity.
What is the legal consequence when an administrative decision is declared a “jurisdictional nullity”?
When a decision is declared a jurisdictional nullity void ab initio, it means the tribunal acted completely outside its lawful authority (coram non judice). The order is treated in law as though it never existed. The state cannot enforce it, police cannot act upon it, and the citizen’s record is wiped clean without any requirement to comply with the defective order.

About the Founder, Owner, Executive Chair and CEO
Mr. Kevin A. McLean (B.A., J.D., CIM) (he/him) established Law Cap Inc. (“LawCap”) as a global platform for legal strategy, constitutional advocacy, and digital forensics. Operating within Ontario, Mr. McLean utilizes his background as a former barrister and solicitor in British Columbia, alongside credentials as a Chartered Investment Manager with the world famous and accredited Canadian Securities Institute located in Toronto, Ontario (Wellington West Avenue) (having passed in the span of eight months (eight multi-hour exams and ten if including the “mutual funds course” (see: infra): (i) the Canadian Securities Course: (ii) Wealth Management Essentials (with tax compendium modules); (iii) Investment Management Techniques; and (iv) Portfolio Management Techniques (along with although not required for the designation, the (v) the mutual funds course), to apply a broad and deep based analytical approach to Charter rights litigation and administrative accountability.
His background (the grind and lucky as they come)
Raised between the oceanfront calm of Spanish Banks in Vancouver and the warmth of Barbados, Mr. McLean grew up with a global perspective shaped by contrast — privilege without entitlement, exposure without complacency. 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.

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.
