To all,
To date, there had been a ton of delay tactics used by the crown. COVID is always the excuse, but we finally have some traction.
The crown initially (and repeatedly) applied for a quick dismissal of jurisdiction but lost out on that one as the court decided our case presented had merit, so we get to proceed.
This is what I just received a few days from my lawyer (in regards to the OIC Challenge):
Dear Mr. Cox.
On March 1st, 2022 your matter has been booked for a 1 day hearing in the Court of Queen’s Bench to have a preliminary hearing on what amounts to issues of jurisdiction for the you, the Shooting Edge and Sterling Arms. As we have discussed, the issue of jurisdiction was going to be the seminal hurdle to overcome in order to secure the advantage of having an Alberta Queens Bench Justice hear your matter as opposed to a Federal Court Justice. If the Court declines jurisdiction, then for all intents and purposes your claim is nullified. If the Court does not decline jurisdiction, then we are still in the game and we will run our proceedings parallel to, and independent of, those in Federal Court.
I do apologize for the delay in getting the matter to this hearing. COVID restrictions and the failure of the injunction application at the Federal Court altered the trajectory of your file. As such the date is the best we could do in the circumstances.
I will be in touch in the near future in respect of filing our materials.
Regards,
Gregory R. Dunn

Awesome! It appears that 2022 will be the year our fate is decided.

I'm at a loss in regards to this as well. I haven't seen CCFR lose anything and I hope i don't!
Brief update:
We had our first day in court.... low and behold... the judge assigned the case actually was a candidate for the Liberal party in the last election... (insert eye roll)
Obviously our legal team protested and won to have the judge excused...
New date with new judge in August / September.
