I have had with the PGT and Candace Cates (the lawyer for my sister). From the very beginning when Candace sent me an Estate Settlement Agreement with the expectation that I would sign it, and her subsequent behavior because I did nto sign it, these behavior are killing me (cut me) by a thousand cuts. Anything I had anything to do with Candace and Heather Mathison the lawyer for the PGT, a further cut, a further cut. I am to the point now I am expended.
What this is about is that the PGT did not vet expenses that my sister wanted in her capacity as my brother's caregiver (committee of person). The expenses were not vetted/audited by the PGT properly as to who really benefitted from them. If the PGT could not prove the expenses then the PGT would be surcharged and the expense (or part of the expense not used by my brother) would have to be reimbursed to the estate by the PGT. The PGT's statement of account covered 597 pages.
Fast forward to June 3 2026 a hearing was to be scheduled and I was the person who had to schedule it. It was in Kamloops and the dates available were for September. Candace and Heather went behind my back and had the registrar of scheduling change the venue of the court to Vancouver and advance the date to June 24. I objected and was told that I fit into the "box" the registrar had, no exceptions. That I could appeal his decision by asking a chamber's judge to overrule his decision. Well at the June 3 2026 the chamber's judge said that he could not do anything as he had to defer to the registrar's untested box
As we exited the chamber's room, I noticed a court security officer obviously "shielding" Heather. I realized that Heather must have asked security to attend at the hearing as I might be violent towards her. This is intimation and humulitation. The real reason was to show the judge that the PGT counsel had to enlist security to handle an adjournment to subtly infer to the justice and others in the courtroom that I was "crazy." When I asked Heather if she did call security, she arrograntly told me that she would not talk to me. A humilitation by an officer of the court. Lawyers are officers of the court.
Heather wanted a fast closing date to the appeal hearing so I would not be prepared. A self-rep can't just go in front a panel of three appeal judges, not being prepared or better yet be as I am now emotionally expended that I would just quit. If the appeal does not go forward the PGT keeps its "blessed" reputation of protecting the vulnerables and their estates. If the PGT's case was so great, they would have no reason to cut me with a thousand cuts and pay Heather to do it. Every action of Heather and Candace has been calculating to this end.
Heather sent me an Order yesterday confirming that my application to vary the scheduling direction of the registrar is dismissed and I had to pay the costs of the application, the application package for them opposing the adjournment was 95 pages long. Do you have any idea how much it would cost to pay for the package that says a hearing should not be adjourned. It is a simple adjournment.
The June 24 hearing is for an appeal and no senior appeal lawyer would ever approach such a hearing if he was not prepared. That means he has to be in a good mental state. Arranging dates are done by consent among lawyers projecting months ahead, but if you are not a lawyer, then you fit in a box to which you cannot escape.
A few days before the June 3 hearing, Heather said that if I agreed to a condition which is confidential that they will agree to a date being September 8 2026, a condition that they safely knew from my past behavior I would not agree to. They had already prepared all the documents and within 1.5 hours after I said I would agree to the September 8 2026 hearing deleting the condition, the documents were filed and I was served with stamped copies by courier. Remarkable quick preparation and timing. Now they can say that Audrey was given three more months to prepare but she refused so now they look like angels.
Let's not digress from the point that the PGT wants to shield itself from surcharges that it would have to pay for not properly vetting for necessary expenses for my brother's direct care. That is what this is all about. Stealth passing of account. And they accomplished by poisoning the well.
