"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" - Joni Mitchell
A number of citizens have been gathered at Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, demonstrating against the provincial government's decision to create a 2 hectare parking lot. On February 24, 2004, Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the Province of British Columbia and the Attorney General of the Province of British Columbia commenced an action in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against "John Doe 1 through John Doe 50" and "Jane Doe 1 through Jane Doe 50".
In this curious proceeding, the government's lawyers have alleged that the Does have trespassed on Crown lands and have intentionally interfered with the Crown's use and enjoyment of these public lands. The government seeks damages, interest and court costs from the Does.
We have responded on behalf of Maureen Sager by filing a Statement of Defence alleging that the proceeding is a SLAPP suit and an abuse of the court's process. We have also served notice to conduct examinations of Attorney General Plant and Minister Barisoff on Friday, March 5, 2004 in Nanaimo. The government's lawyers have responded by saying that these Ministers of the Crown will not attend.

Vancouver Radio station CKNW has reported that a Coroner's Inquest will soon be held into the death of Jeff Berg, who died October 24, 2000 after being arrested by Vancouver police Constable David Bruce-Thomas. This news comes after Berg family counsel Cameron Ward wrote to Attorney General Geoff Plant on February 6, 2004, demanding that he order that an Inquest be held.
The CKNW story:
VANCOUVER (CKNW/AM980) -- More than three years ago Jeff Berg died during his arrest by Vancouver Police in an eastside alley. Today, Vancouver coroner Stephen Fonseca announced an inquest will be held. Fonseca says no date for the inquest has yet been set because he is still trying to bring all the witnesses and lawyers together. But he's hoping to have it done before the Police Complaints public hearing in June.
