Docket: T-1368-97
MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC, THE 6TH DAY OF JANUARY 1999
Before: Mr. RICHARD MORNEAU, PROTHONOTARY
Between:
ANTOINE C. ZARZOUR
Plaintiff
AND
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
Motion by the defendant to quash the subpoenas issued by this Court on October 13, 1998, addressed to Ms. Diane Bélisle and Mr. Raymond Fortin.
[Rules 4 and 369 of the Federal Court Rules, 1998
and article 281 of the Code of Civil Procedure]
REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER
Mr. RICHARD MORNEAU, PROTHONOTARY:
[1] Having read the written representations of the parties pertaining to this motion by the defendant, I think it is appropriate to dismiss the motion, since in my opinion it is not clear that the presence of Ms. Bélair or Mr. Fortin is not required in order to produce some relevant documents as evidence or to answer some relevant questions. The judge who is called on to hear this matter commencing January 11, 1999 will have to determine the true relevance of the documents to be submitted in evidence or the relevance of the questions that the plaintiff " who is representing himself " intends to put to the persons referred to above.
[2] It is also unnecessary in the context of this motion by the defendant to consider certain remedies that the plaintiff is seeking on page 10 of his respondent"s motion record.
[3] The defendant"s motion to quash the subpoenas is therefore dismissed, with costs to follow.
