The "Courts"... A "TRIAL"... DEFINED... AND A TRIAL... DENIED!!!

We had wanted to bring issues "TO TRIAL" to have a public, legal record. NO issues were heard... NOT ONE question and/or comment pertaining was allowed and a "judgement" was simply imposed. In our opinion, all that mattered was money... not justice and certainly not what was in the best interest of the public in public safety issues and potential negligence by a very influential engineer who helped to set national standards for the truss industry!

Without hearing of the issues, all claims against the engineer were "dismissed". There is no record showing he was ever accused of negligence in the public database maintained by the Professional Engineers of Ontario! In our opinion, to NOT allow the issues to be heard and/or documented was NOT in the public interest... especially not in view of the Elliot Lake mall collapse and resulting "public inquiry"... costing millions to taxpayers. As such, the Elliot Lake inquiry, when it came to problems in the system, was in my opinion, a "public sham" because, clearly, in my opinion, the government and/or courts did not want many of the real issues to come to surface in this VERY broken system!
NOTE: THERE IS NO MENTION OF "MONEY" AS THE ISSUE OR OBJECT OF A TRIAL PER THIS DEFINITION FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S FOREMOST LEGAL DICTIONARY!
