I have filed for a Reference Hearing under the FA and was successful.
Although the details of my case was slightly different than what was trying to be done here, the fact remains that I was refused registration of a 12.6 handgun and so I filed for a Reference Hearing (pay attention to time limits).
It is simply a matter of going to the Provincial Court House and requesting, then filing the papers.
My case took about 2 1/2 years, I used no lawyer (relied on info provided by DAT at NFA) it cost me only my time, eventually I spent a full day in court, the Judge agreed with me and I won.
The Crown appealed, I made 2 appearances at Federal Court (again with no lawyer) and then the Crown withdrew their appeal.
It must have cost them a lot of money for the Reference Hearing as they brought up a Mountie from the CFC and a Crown Attorney from CFC Ottawa.
In my case, I bought a 12.6 firearm which was registered to a business.
I suppose they didn't want to take a chance on losing this at the federal level as the dealers would have had precedence to sue big time.
GUYS GO FOR THIS!
It's just a matter of picking up the papers and then filing. I believe they will be overwhelmed by shear volume.

My 12.6 is a crappy $60.00 gun
I figure we will probably lose in the end BUT if I can cost the feds hundreds of thousands of dollars then that just what im gonna do!
if we ALL did this it could cost them millions in court costs alone
