Judges have Immunity

 

From the internet.

In Canada, judges have judicial immunity.

A judge cannot be sued or penalized for how they decide a case -- even if they are mistaken in the law, misunderstand the facts, or fail to grasp the seriousness of an issue such as fiduciary breach or self-dealing.

This immunity exists to protect judicial independence, so judges aren't constantly looking over their shoulder, fearing lawsuits.

If a judge makes a wrong legal or factual decision, the only remedy is an appeal or review. Both routes are very expensive, so injustices go unresolved.  

Those who abuse go on to abuse others, and the victims are silenced by prohibitive cost assessments and their reputations damaged, never to be repaired because a judge made a mistake.  


And lawyers:  Law Society of BC Rule 5.1-2 (Duty to the court) obliges a lawyer not to mislead the Court by silence when aware of facts that could affect the outcome.  AND who decides if facts privy to the lawyer could affect the outcome.

Procedural Ambush

 I could not understand why I was treated so badly by everyone even the courts.  I was told it is common for lawyers to engage in procedural ambush (unfairness) from the beginning. They will do whatever to make you look bad and wreck your confidence. It is gaslighting. 

I can see this happening in regular court litigation (maybe) but not in estate litigation.  I want to know why they did this.  

I remember my sister phoning me saying her lawyer (Shahdin) and my brother's lawyer (Leah) were going to get me.  Jenny told me to be careful.  I thought it strange.  These are professional women with children, why would they speak like that? Get what.
