Judge challenges defence in BC Rail case
.
By Mark Hume
Globe and Mail - Oct. 19, 2009
A defence application for access to BC Rail e-mails seems to have run into trouble in the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
Madam Justice Anne MacKenzie, recently appointed to handle the long-running case, sent clear signals Monday that she questions the merits of a defence argument that BC Rail must produce backup tapes that might – or might not – hold relevant e-mail records. {Snip} ...
Judge MacKenzie's repeated challenges to Mr. McCullough, however, indicate she wants to hear evidence that the relevant e-mails exist before she orders BC Rail to undertake an expensive search.
Arguments continue this week. {Snip} ...

It looks as though the government has got the best judge that money can buy. They sure know how to pick 'em

Curt,
Right on ... I thought the same thing when I saw that article.
Which is why it was so important to watch the new judge, Anne MacKenzie, as she worked through the 5 fairly quiet days of last week.
But nothing in the news, except for Mark Hume's lonely column at mid-week.
To borrow a phrase from Clint Eastwood, the BC Rail Case seems to be in the grip of some "cold, dead hands" and I feel like I want to start kicking at some doors ...
Not a good feeling ... but thanks for your shout of encouragement.
