The Jurisdictional Adjudication of Corporate-Police Surveillance Convergence: Outsourced Biometric Platforms, Charter Section 7/8 Deficits, and Algorithmic Nullity (Part 2 of 3)
Opening Question
When state law enforcement agencies contract with commercial, third-party software vendors to deploy automated mass facial recognition, unconsented public web scraping, and algorithmic tracking databases, does the commercial origin of the software insulate the state from constitutional review, or does corporate-police convergence violate Section 7 and Section 8 of the Charter, rendering resultant arrests, searches, and derivative evidence absolute jurisdictional nullities?
Direct Answer Paragraph
The delegation of automated biometric surveillance affords absolutely no constitutional immunity to state authorities. Relying upon Herbert Broom’s equitable maxim nemo potest facere per obliquum quod non potest facere per directum, tribunals dictate that outsourced corporate scraping breaches fundamental justice, rendering unverified tracking nullities.
Overview
Within the contemporary architecture of Canadian national security, public safety, and criminal investigations, the boundaries separating state coercive authority from private enterprise surveillance have undergone a profound, un-legislated convergence. Confronted with the immense technical complexity of tracking digital citizens across fragmented online ecosystems, law enforcement agencies—including municipal police services across Ontario, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)—have systematically bypassed traditional, in-house investigative research.
Instead, state actors have entered into procurement agreements with commercial software-as-a-service (SaaS) computer vision vendors. The most notorious manifestation of this phenomenon crystallized around Clearview AI, Inc., a venture-backed technology entity that deployed automated web scrapers to harvest over three billion facial images, biometric nodal points, and associated metadata from public social media profiles (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and commercial websites without user knowledge or statutory consent. Canadian police services actively deployed this mass-surveillance engine, uploading photos of suspects, witnesses, and casual bystanders to execute instantaneous, algorithmic facial recognition matches across a global database.
When victimized citizens challenge this corporate-police dragnet in superior courts, state prosecutors routinely assert the “Commercial Shield” defense: arguing that police merely utilized a commercially available software search tool to inspect information already posted on the “public internet,” and that no search occurred within the meaning of Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Canadian constitutional law, appellate jurisprudence, and statutory privacy determinations systematically demolish this defense:
- The Principle of Nemo Potest Facere Per Obliquum: The state cannot contract out of the Constitution. Under the foundational maxim nemo potest facere per obliquum quod non potest facere per directum (no one can do indirectly what cannot be done directly), police officers cannot circumvent Section 8 of the Charter by paying a commercial intermediary to execute an unconstitutional, warrantless mass dragnet that the police could never lawfully execute themselves.
- The Biographical Core and Section 8 (R. v. Spencer): In R. v. Spencer, the Supreme Court of Canada affirmed that informational privacy protects the intimate “biographical core” of personal information. The human face is not a mere public license plate; facial geometry constitutes an immutable, unique biological marker. Capturing, digitizing, and cataloging an individual’s biometric coordinates without prior judicial authorization violates the reasonable expectation of privacy.
- The Unlawful Statutory Origin (PIPEDA and Clearview AI Findings): In the landmark Joint Investigation into Clearview AI, Inc. (PIPEDA Report of Findings No. 2021-001), the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, alongside the Commissioners of Alberta, British Columbia, and Quebec, definitively ruled that scraping public photos to commercialize biometric facial recognition constitutes an illegal mass collection of sensitive personal information violating Section 5(3) of PIPEDA. When police knowingly license and utilize an illegal database, the state taints the entire investigative conduit.
- The Poisoned Evidence Pool (R. v. Mohan): Proprietary, commercial facial-recognition algorithms operate as un-audited “black boxes.” Under the expert evidence threshold in R. v. Mohan, machine-generated biometric matches lack the proven scientific reliability, peer-reviewed accuracy, and transparent data lineage required to support reasonable and probable grounds for arrest. Advanced algorithmic studies demonstrate severe error and false-positive rates when evaluating demographic minorities and racialized individuals, directly imperiling liberty under Section 7.
Where law enforcement deploys outsourced biometric surveillance to arrest individuals, execute search warrants, or freeze assets, the entire evidentiary chain of custody is poisoned. Superior courts apply Section 24(2) of the Charter through the lens of R. v. Grant and R. v. Tim, suppressing all derivative physical and digital evidence and declaring the proceedings absolute jurisdictional nullities.

The Complete 3-Part Institutional Malfeasance Series Index
This comprehensive three-part legal treatise examines the statutory, forensic, and evidentiary mechanisms governing institutional malfeasance, administrative overreach, and evidentiary integrity:
- Part 1 of 3: The Doctrine of Ultra Vires Acts: Contesting Overreached Administrative Mandates in Municipal Procurement — Deconstructing the statutory boundaries of municipal authority under the Municipal Act, 2001, the threshold for judicial review of ultra vires actions under Vavilov, Contract A/Contract B tendering dynamics, defective origination as an absolute nullity, and equitable restitution for unauthorized vendor exclusions.
- Part 2 of 3 (Current): Corporate-Police Convergence: The Civil Rights Deficit of Outsourcing Biometric Surveillance Platforms — Analyzing the constitutional and statutory vulnerabilities when state law enforcement outsources facial recognition and public web scraping to proprietary corporate vendors (e.g., Clearview AI), Section 7 and 8 Charter limits, PIPEDA boundaries, the Mohan threshold for algorithmic evidence, and cross-border server routing.
- Part 3 of 3: The Evidentiary Weight of Non-Disclosed Metadata: Contesting Systemic Concealment in Administrative Audits — Formulating the litigation manual for exposing altered database audit trails, selective omissions, and hidden system histories in statutory access requests (ATIA/FIPPA/MFIPPA), statutory record-tampering provisions, and compelling raw server logs through the adverse inference framework under McDougall v. Black & Decker.
Key Requirements / Elements to Invalidate Outsourced Biometric Surveillance
To successfully challenge an arrest, search warrant, or administrative seizure predicated upon third-party corporate biometric surveillance in Canadian superior courts, defense litigators must satisfy the following criteria:
- The Proof of Private-Sector Data Ingestion Illegality: Counsel must establish that the underlying vendor platform harvested biometric facial templates in violation of statutory privacy legislation (such as Section 5(3) of PIPEDA), establishing that the software foundation was tainted by systemic illegality at its point of origination.
- The Vitiation of the “Public Web” Defense (The Spencer Doctrine): Counsel must rebut the Crown’s argument that posting a photo online eliminates privacy; litigators must establish that under R. v. Spencer, individuals maintain an enduring, reasonable expectation of privacy in their biometric markers and biographical core, which cannot be extinguished merely because data is accessible on a public URL.
- The Demonstration of State Indirect Action (Nemo Potest Facere): The applicant must prove that police actively directed or utilized the commercial software to achieve an investigative result that would have legally required a judicial warrant (such as Section 487.01) had the state built the system itself, proving an unconstitutional state evasion.
- The Evidentiary Exclusion Under the Mohan Reliability Test: Counsel must challenge the scientific admissibility of the algorithmic match under R. v. Mohan, establishing that the private software vendor refuses to disclose its source code, that the algorithm was un-audited for demographic error variance, and that the match represents an uncorroborated probabilistic inference rather than positive identification.
- The Invocation of Section 24(2) (Grant / Tim): The superior court must be formally petitioned to exclude all derivative physical contraband, statements, and witness identifications obtained through the unconstitutional biometric lead, establishing that admitting evidence gathered through an unlawful corporate-police dragnet brings the administration of justice into profound disrepute.
Examples / Application
A. The Unwarranted Clearview AI Facial Match and Arrest Nullity
A municipal police service in Ontario investigates a retail commercial robbery. The physical robber was captured on a 2-second grainy security camera video wearing a hoodie. Unable to identify the suspect through local mugshot databases, a detective takes a screenshot of the video and uploads it to an un-audited commercial facial recognition platform (Clearview AI). The corporate algorithm runs the image against its scraped database of three billion social media photos, returning an algorithmic “92% confidence match” pointing to an individual’s public Instagram profile.
Relying entirely upon this single algorithmic match, detectives arrest the individual on a public street, search his backpack incident to arrest, and discover an unregistered firearm. The accused is charged with armed robbery and firearms offenses.
Defense counsel brings an application under sections 8, 9, and 24(2) of the Charter to exclude the firearm.
The superior court excludes the firearm and dismisses the charges. Applying R. v. Spencer, R. v. Tim, and the Clearview AI Investigation findings, the court dictates that police cannot sanitize an unconstitutional search by hiding behind a commercial SaaS contract. Uploading an image to an illegal, mass-scraped biometric database constitutes an unconstitutional search under Section 8. Because the officers had no independent corroboration linking the accused to the robbery, relying exclusively on an un-audited, black-box commercial algorithm failed to establish reasonable and probable grounds for arrest. The arrest was an arbitrary detention under Section 9, and the search of the backpack was unlawful. The firearm is excluded under Section 24(2) as an unconstitutional nullity.
B. The Cross-Border Server Routing and Extraterritorial Telemetry Breach
A federal law enforcement agency investigates a cross-border money laundering syndicate. Investigators contract with an American commercial surveillance vendor that operates a proprietary mobile phone location-tracking and facial-recognition platform. Without obtaining a Canadian judicial tracking warrant under Section 492.1 or a general warrant under Section 487.01, investigators upload high-resolution photos and travel itineraries of Canadian citizens into the vendor’s portal.
During discovery, defense forensic litigators extract the network packet captures and data processing agreements. The evidence proves that: (1) the commercial platform automatically replicated the Canadian citizens’ biometric templates and geolocation coordinates to cloud server clusters located in northern Virginia and Frankfurt; and (2) the foreign servers were subject to extraterritorial search warrants issued by foreign intelligence agencies under the U.S. CLOUD Act (18 U.S.C. § 2713).
The superior court rules that the police operation constituted an egregious breach of Section 8 of the Charter. The court holds that state agencies cannot transmit citizens’ intimate biometric metadata across international borders to un-audited foreign server nodes without express judicial authorization. The state’s conduct compromised data sovereignty and destroyed the chain of custody under Section 31.2 of the Canada Evidence Act. All derived intelligence is suppressed ab initio.
C. The False-Positive Algorithmic Dragnet and Systemic Bias
A young Black university student in Toronto is walking past an entertainment district. A police mobile surveillance van operating automated facial recognition cameras scans the crowd. The commercial algorithm—which independent academic benchmarks prove suffers from a 35% higher false-positive rate on racialized faces—flags the student as a “98% match” for an outstanding violent assault suspect. Officers dynamically converge, draw service weapons, force the student to the pavement, place him in handcuffs, and search his pockets, locating a personal quantity of cannabis.
The student is transported to the station cellblock, where manual fingerprint verification forty-five minutes later proves he was entirely the wrong individual; the algorithm had completely misidentified him. The Crown attempts to prosecute the student for obstructing police during the physical takedown.
The trial judge dismisses the prosecution with prejudice. Applying R. v. Le and R. v. Mann, the court dictates that relying upon a known, defective algorithmic tool that predictably misidentifies demographic minorities cannot ground reasonable suspicion or reasonable grounds to arrest. The student’s detention was arbitrary, violent, and unconstitutional under Section 9. The search of his person violated Section 8, and the state’s reckless deployment of biased commercial AI constituted an abuse of process under Toronto (City) v. C.U.P.E., Local 79. The obstruction charge is declared an absolute nullity.
Regulatory Notes / Case Law
- Joint Investigation into Clearview AI, Inc., PIPEDA Report of Findings No. 2021-001 (Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec, OIPC Alberta, OIPC BC): The definitive Canadian regulatory benchmark governing facial recognition, establishing that scraping public internet photos to construct a commercial biometric database violates PIPEDA, and ruling that public posting does not equal consent.
- R. v. Spencer, 2014 SCC 43: The supreme authority on informational privacy, establishing that Section 8 protects the intimate “biographical core” of personal information, confirming that digital markers and biometric identities demand the highest expectation of privacy.
- R. v. Vu, 2013 SCC 60 & R. v. Morelli, 2010 SCC 8: Foundational Supreme Court of Canada precedents confirming that digital devices and electronic repositories cannot be searched without explicit, prior judicial authorization, establishing strict perimeters against state digital dragnets.
- R. v. Mohan, $$1994$$ 2 S.C.R. 9: The governing standard for expert and technical evidence admissibility, requiring that commercial algorithms and automated surveillance matches demonstrate proven scientific reliability, peer-reviewed methodology, and established error rates to be admissible in court.
- R. v. Tim, 2022 SCC 12: Establishing that state actions founded upon an erroneous mistake of law or invalid statutory authority are inherently unlawful and therefore automatically arbitrary under Section 9, precluding police from excusing unconstitutional biometric searches by claiming good-faith reliance on commercial software.
- R. v. Le, 2019 SCC 34: Paramount authority emphasizing that courts must integrate the social context of disproportionate policing of racialized communities when evaluating the reasonableness of state detention and surveillance practices.
- Toronto (City) v. C.U.P.E., Local 79, 2003 SCC 63: The supreme authority on abuse of process, confirming that superior courts possess inherent supervisory jurisdiction to stay proceedings and strike down state actions that undermine public confidence in the administration of justice.
- Bhasin v. Hrynew, 2014 SCC 71: The supreme authority on good faith and honest performance, legally precluding state institutions from deploying deceptive commercial intermediaries or un-audited technological arrangements to evade foundational constitutional duties.

FAQ Section
Can police legally use facial recognition software that was built by scraping social media?
In Canada, the legal foundation for using mass-scraped facial recognition tools has been severely undermined. In 2021, the federal and provincial Privacy Commissioners published a joint finding that Clearview AI broke Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA) by scraping billions of photos without consent. While police argued that the photos were “publicly available,” regulators and courts confirmed that posting a photo on social media does NOT give commercial companies or the police the legal right to extract and commercialize your biometric identity. Evidence obtained solely through an illegal scraping database is vulnerable to being excluded in court under Section 24(2) of the Charter.
Does police use of facial recognition count as a “search” under Section 8 of the Charter?
Yes. Under Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence (R. v. Spencer), Section 8 protects the “biographical core” of personal information. Your facial geometry—the mathematical distance between your eyes, nose, and jaw—is a permanent, unalterable physical identifier. Digitizing your face and running it against an algorithmic database is a digital search that interferes with your reasonable expectation of privacy. If police execute this search without a warrant or specific statutory authority, the search is presumptively unconstitutional.
How do defense lawyers challenge facial recognition matches in court?
Defense lawyers challenge facial recognition matches using the Supreme Court’s R. v. Mohan test for expert evidence. Because proprietary commercial software operates as a “black box” where the company refuses to reveal its secret code, the defense argues the algorithm lacks proven scientific reliability. Furthermore, lawyers present scientific studies proving that commercial facial recognition has a significantly higher error rate (false positives) when scanning Black, Indigenous, and Asian faces, creating reasonable doubt and proving a breach of Section 7 fundamental justice.
What is the legal maxim nemo potest facere per obliquum quod non potest facere per directum?
It is a foundational legal maxim translating to: “No one can do indirectly what they cannot do directly.” In surveillance law, it means that the police cannot bypass the Canadian Constitution by hiring a private tech company to do something illegal. If the police cannot legally set up a warrantless, nationwide camera dragnet to scan every citizen’s face, they cannot achieve the exact same unconstitutional result by paying an American software vendor to do it for them.
What happens if I am arrested because a facial recognition algorithm misidentified me?
If police arrest you based on an unverified algorithmic false positive without independent police investigation, the arrest is unlawful. Under R. v. Tim, an arrest based on an erroneous mistake of law or lack of reasonable and probable grounds is automatically an arbitrary detention under Section 9 of the Charter. Any evidence seized during the arrest must be excluded under Section 24(2), the criminal charges must be dismissed, and you possess a strong civil lawsuit against the police for false arrest, arbitrary imprisonment, and breach of Charter rights.

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.

We honour strictly the duty of confidence found as precedent in the SCC and paying a little homage to No Limits Sportswear Inc. v. 0912139 B.C. Ltd., 2015 BCSC 1698 as per The Honourable Madam Justice S. Griffin (who in the Applicant’s estimation was and is a phenomenal judge but obviously he is most partial to The Honourable Madam Justice Gerow, The Honourable Mr. Justice Bowden, The Honourable Mr. Justice Grauer The Honourable Mr. Justice McIntosh, The Honourable Madam Justice Dickson, The Honourable Mr. Justice Masuhara, The Honourable Mr. Justice Goepel (as he then was) and The Honourable Mr. Justice Tysoe) (and oddly The Honourable Justice Matajawa as per the caselaw in LSBC v. Lawyer “A” as he found that the Applicant’s case against the LSBC involved him not consenting to any forensic copying (little did he or the Applicant know at the time that there was a Concealed RAM Dump).
Courage is contagious. A coward dies a thousands deaths but a warrior dies but one (Sir William Shakespeare). Lastly, to the extent that anything is shared via any medium, the recipient is under a strict duty of confidence and cannot be compelled to provide the same absent court order and to the extent any matter involves matters preparatory to litigation and/or ongoing litigation, it will be presumed to be protected by litigation privilege without any exceptions).
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.
