The Jurisdictional Adjudication of Securities Class Actions: Material Omissions, Piercing the Corporate Shield, and Econometric Loss Causation (Part 2 of 3)

Opening Question

When a public corporation conceals operational liabilities or publishes misleading financial statements, what statutory standards govern an investor’s standing to pierce the corporate veil to sue executive directors personally, and how does Canadian securities jurisprudence establish loss causation without requiring individualized proof of reliance?

Direct Answer Paragraph

The corporate withholding of material financial disclosures affords absolutely no procedural immunity to executive fiduciaries. Relying upon Herbert Broom’s equitable maxim ubi jus ibi remedium (where right exists, remedy follows), tribunals dictate that deemed reliance empowers secondary market class actions, rendering fraudulent omissions absolute statutory nullities.

Overview

Within the architecture of Canadian capital markets litigation, no proceeding carries greater financial and reputational stakes than a secondary market securities class action. When a publicly traded reporting issuer on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) or TSX Venture Exchange conceals a catastrophic corporate event—such as the loss of a major commercial client, a regulatory enforcement probe, a failed clinical pharmaceutical trial, or multi-million-dollar inventory discrepancies—the share price becomes artificially decoupled from economic reality. When the truth is inevitably disclosed to the market through a corrective disclosure, the artificial inflation evaporates, causing an immediate, precipitous collapse in market capitalization that wipes out hundreds of millions of dollars in shareholder wealth.

Historically, investors seeking recovery under common-law torts (such as negligent misrepresentation or civil deceit) encountered an impenetrable barrier: the requirement to prove actual, subjective reliance. Under the foundational Supreme Court of Canada authority Queen v. Cognos Inc., every individual plaintiff was required to prove that they personally read the specific document, understood the representation, and executed their purchase trade based upon that specific falsehood. In modern, high-frequency digital secondary markets, proving individual reliance for fifty thousand disparate institutional and retail traders was structurally impossible, rendering class actions uncertifiable.

Furthermore, Canadian common law definitively rejected the American “Fraud-on-the-Market” presumption (Basic Inc. v. Levinson) in cases such as Carom v. Bre-X Minerals Ltd., holding that reliance could not simply be presumed from the efficiency of the stock exchange.

To remedy this profound structural injustice, provincial legislatures enacted Part XXIII.1 of the Securities Act (R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, Sections 138.1 through 138.14). Part XXIII.1 created a revolutionary statutory cause of action that:

1. Codifies Deemed Reliance: Under Section 138.3, any person who bought or sold securities during the period between the publication of the material misrepresentation or omission and its public correction is statutorily deemed to have relied upon the document or statement, completely extinguishing the requirement for individualized proof.
2. Pierces the Corporate Liability Shield: Investors are not restricted to suing the corporate entity; Section 138.3 grants standing to sue corporate directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, signing officers, and external auditors personally, imposing joint and several statutory liability.
3. Rigid Statutory Gatekeeping (The Section 138.8 Leave Test): To weed out nuisance strike suits, an action under Part XXIII.1 cannot proceed without leave of the court. Under the paramount Supreme Court of Canada authorities in Theratechnologies inc. v. 161847 Canada inc. and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce v. Green, the plaintiff must establish that the action is brought in good faith and that there is a reasonable possibility of success at trial.

Once leave is secured, the trial turns upon the battle of econometric loss causation. Under the common-law maxim causa proxima non remota spectatur, class plaintiffs must tender expert event studies proving that the stock collapse was directly caused by the corrective disclosure of the fraud, rather than by broader macroeconomic interest rate hikes, sector-wide commodity declines, or unrelated negative corporate announcements. Where deliberate executive knowledge is proven under Section 138.5(8), statutory damage caps dissolve, exposing corporate fiduciaries to unlimited personal restitution.

The Complete 3-Part Series Index: Auditor Liability, Securities Misrepresentation & Corporate Disclosure Deficits

This comprehensive three-part legal treatise examines the statutory, procedural, and forensic mechanisms governing auditor obligations, securities class actions, and electronic evidence in corporate reporting fraud:

• Part 1 of 3: Post-Resignation Auditor Liability: Statutory Obligations Upon Subsequent Discovery of Material Financial Errors — Analyzing the continuing duty to speak post-resignation, the Touche Ross doctrine, successor auditor handover rules under CAS 510/560 and National Instrument 51-102, regulatory notifications to securities commissions, and severing third-party investor reliance.
• Part 2 of 3 (Current): Investor Standing in Securities Class Actions: Litigating Material Omissions and False Reporting in Corporate Disclosures — Deconstructing the threshold between material facts and material changes, statutory secondary market claims under Section 138.3 of the Securities Act, deemed reliance versus fraud-on-the-market, piercing corporate shields to hold CEOs, CFOs, and audit committees personally liable, and econometric loss causation event studies.
• Part 3 of 3: The Forensic Audit Trail of Corporate Omissions: Defeating the “Good Faith” Defense in Misleading Financial Reporting — Exposing the pretext of “software migration glitches” and inadvertent reporting omissions, decompiling native ERP Change Data Capture (CDC) audit trails and spreadsheet metadata under Section 31.2 of the Canada Evidence Act, and dismantling the Business Judgment Rule under BCE Inc. to establish actionable bad faith.

Key Requirements / Elements to Establish Secondary Market Securities Liability

To successfully establish statutory liability, pierce corporate management shields, and secure class-wide damages under Part XXIII.1 of the Securities Act, plaintiff litigators must satisfy:

• The Categorization of a Material Misrepresentation: Under Section 138.1, the plaintiff must establish an untrue statement of a material fact, or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or necessary to make a statement not misleading in an official continuous disclosure document (e.g., core documents like annual financials, interim MD&As, or non-core documents like press releases).
• The Distinction Between Material Fact and Material Change: While a “material fact” relates to information that significantly affects the market price of securities, a “material change” under Section 75 requires a change in the business, operations, or capital of the issuer that would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price, triggering an immediate statutory duty to file a press release within 10 days (Pezim, Danier Leather).
• The Satisfaction of the Section 138.8 Leave Standard (Theratechnologies): Counsel must tender an unassailable evidentiary record at the leave motion, demonstrating: (1) that the action is brought in good faith; and (2) that there is a reasonable possibility that the action will be resolved at trial in favor of the plaintiff, requiring plausible, credible evidence of both misrepresentation and materiality.
• The Econometric Proof of Loss Causation via Event Study: The plaintiff must tender qualified expert econometric testimony utilizing multivariate regression event-study methodologies (R. v. Mohan), mathematically demonstrating that the price decline observed immediately following the corrective disclosure was directly caused by the unmasking of the fraud rather than background market movements.
• The Dissolution of Statutory Damage Caps via Actual Knowledge: To pierce the statutory damage caps under Section 138.5, counsel must prove under Section 138.5(8) that the corporate officer, director, or expert authorized, permitted, or acquiesced in the misrepresentation with actual knowledge that it was a misrepresentation, creating unlimited personal liability.

Examples / Application

A. The Undisclosed Clinical Trial Termination and Stock Price Collapse

A clinical-stage biotechnology enterprise listed on the TSX trades at $18.00 per share based upon public statements touting the impending commercialization of its flagship oncology compound. On March 12, the federal regulatory agency issues a formal “Clinical Hold Letter” terminating the Phase III trial due to acute patient liver toxicity. The corporate board and CEO withhold the letter, continuing to issue press releases praising the drug’s safety profile for five consecutive months while the CEO executes stock option sales totaling $3.5 million.

On August 18, an investigative journalist leaks the regulatory termination letter. The company’s stock price immediately crashes from $18.00 to $2.20 per share within two hours of trading, erasing $450 million in shareholder value.

Class counsel initiates a secondary market class action under Part XXIII.1 of the Securities Act and Section 5 of the Class Proceedings Act, 1992:

1. Counsel moves for leave under Section 138.8, submitting the concealed regulatory letter as conclusive proof of an uncorrected material omission.
2. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice grants leave and certifies the class. The court rules that withholding the termination of a flagship trial constitutes a severe material omission that rendered all previous clinical statements false.
3. Because the claim is brought under Section 138.3, the 25,000 class members are deemed by law to have relied upon the integrity of the market price.
4. Under Section 138.5(8), counsel proves the CEO had actual knowledge of the termination letter. The court strikes down the statutory liability caps, entering personal judgment against the CEO for the full loss causation delta.

B. The Econometric Event Study Stripping Out Macroeconomic Tech Crashes

A financial technology reporting issuer misstates its customer retention figures in its quarterly MD&A, reporting a net expansion of 15% when retention had contracted by 20%. On November 10, the company issues an earnings restatement confessing the error. Over the subsequent 72 hours, the company’s stock drops from $50.00 to $30.00 per share (a $20.00 decline).

The corporate defendant defends the securities class action by pointing out that during that exact same three-day window, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced an unexpected 75-basis-point interest rate hike, which caused the entire NASDAQ and TSX tech indices to plunge by 25%. The defendant argues that loss causation is zero because the entire market crashed.

Class counsel calls an expert econometrician who conducts a multivariate regression Event Study:

• The expert measures the stock’s historical correlation to the tech index ($\beta = 1.2$).
• The expert mathematically isolates the market-wide impact: proving that general interest rate panic accounted for $12.00 of the price drop.
• However, the expert proves that $8.00 per share of the collapse was a statistically significant abnormal return ($p < 0.001$) directly correlating with the company-specific earnings restatement.The superior court accepts the event study, ruling that loss causation was established for the $8.00 fraud delta, calculating class-wide damages on the isolated accounting misrepresentation.

C. The Audit Committee Director Personal Liability Action

A commercial real estate investment trust (REIT) restates four years of financial statements after uncovering that its CFO operated a multi-million-dollar fictitious leasing scheme. In addition to suing the insolvent corporate entity and the CFO, class counsel names the three independent directors of the Board’s Audit Committee personally under Section 138.3(1)(c).

The independent directors defend by asserting the statutory “reasonable investigation” due diligence defense under Section 138.4(2), claiming they were non-executive directors who relied in good faith upon management’s presentations and external auditors.

During cross-examinations on the leave motion, class counsel introduces internal minutes proving that an internal auditor had delivered an explicit red-flag memo to the Audit Committee warning that lease documentation was missing for major commercial tenants. The directors failed to follow up, never questioned the CFO, and voted to approve the financial statements anyway. The superior court grants leave to sue the directors personally. The court dictates that director due diligence requires active inquiry when red flags exist. The directors failed to conduct a reasonable investigation, stripping them of the Section 138.4 defense.

FAQ Section

How do investors sue a company for securities fraud without proving they read the financial statement?

Under Part XXIII.1 of the Ontario Securities Act (Section 138.3), you do NOT have to prove that you read the specific financial statement, MD&A, or press release. The statute creates “deemed reliance”: the law automatically presumes that you relied on the market price of the stock, and that the market price reflected the false financial statement. This statutory rule makes securities class actions possible in Canada.

Can investors sue corporate CEOs, CFOs, and board members personally?

Yes. Under Section 138.3 of the Securities Act, corporate directors who approved the false financial statements and corporate officers who authorized their release (specifically the CEO and CFO) can be sued personally for damages. While statutory caps normally limit an individual executive’s liability to 50% of their annual salary, those caps are completely eliminated if the executive knew the statement was false (Section 138.5(8)).

What is the difference between a “material fact” and a “material change”?

A “material fact” is any information that would reasonably be expected to significantly affect the market price or value of a stock (e.g., historical sales results, accounting estimates). A “material change” is a major operational shift in the business, operations, or capital of the company (e.g., closing a major division, an executive resignation, or losing an essential license). Under Section 75 of the Securities Act, a material change triggers an immediate legal duty to issue a press release and file a material change report within 10 days.

What is the “leave test” under Section 138.8 of the Securities Act?

The leave test is a mandatory preliminary screening step. Before an investor class action is allowed to proceed to discovery or trial, the plaintiffs must obtain “leave” (permission) from a superior court judge. Under the Supreme Court’s Theratechnologies ruling, the judge must be satisfied that the lawsuit is brought in good faith and that there is a reasonable possibility that the action will succeed at trial. It weeds out frivolous strike suits.

How does an “event study” prove loss causation in court?

An event study is an econometric statistical model used by financial experts to analyze a stock price drop following a corrective disclosure. The model uses regression analysis to filter out general market movements (like the S&P/TSX Composite dropping) and industry sector declines. This isolates the exact dollar amount of the price collapse that was caused specifically by the revelation of the corporate fraud, proving “loss causation.”

LawCap Value Proposition

Law Cap Inc. (part of the “Search & Seizure Law Group Of Companies”) is a specialized legal‑forensics and digital analysis platform dedicated to sophisticated litigation strategy, constitutional oversight, and advanced asset tracking. Led by an editor with cross‑disciplinary expertise in law, securities, and behavioral psychology, Law Cap Inc. conducts high‑level blockchain forensics (including EVM‑network parsing), complex fraud analysis, metadata manipulation verification, and forensic document examination. The platform provides unrepresented litigants, counsel, and organizations with advanced, on a pro bono publico basis, analytical frameworks for navigating institutional overreach, administrative complexity, and regulatory terrain.

LawCap exposes the strategic vulnerabilities of the administrative state. When federal tribunals attempt to weaponize silence, misdirection, and procedural delay to shield their actions from judicial review, LawCap provides the precise tactical blueprints to break the blockade. We translate complex prerogative remedies like structural mandamus, the prohibition against bootstrapping, and the doctrine of spoliation into actionable, high-impact legal strategy. By insisting on absolute algorithmic and statutory compliance. By insisting on absolute algorithmic and statutory compliance with the Federal Courts Rules, LawCap ensures that the foundational digital evidence—the raw truth of state action—is relentlessly extracted from the shadows and placed under the uncompromising scrutiny of the courts.

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.

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.
