30. On or shortly before Monday October 22nd 1984 SNC s lawyers rejected the Report from my doctor, Howard Schwarz, which stated that I had become un-well as a result of  SNC s actions combined with the lack of employment. The Superior Court hearing of my case had been set for Wednesday October 24th 1984, which date had been agreed early  in 1984.

 

Thus SNC rejected the report at a point when they knew perfectly well that Mr. Schwarz could not be given the required 5 working days notice to appear in Superior Court as a witness for the author on October 24th

This precipitated a postponement of the hearing.

 

31. In July 1986 Ralph A. Cohen (who became my lawyer following Mr. I.S. Mass s resignation to become a Judge of Quebec Superior Court), wrote to SNC s lawyers and the Court stating that he was ready to proceed with a hearing.

 

By November 1986, there having been no progress at all since July 1986, I ‑ accompanied by lawyer Ralph A. Cohen s partner Anna Zampini inspected the Court House file and discovered the reason for the delay i.e. that SNC s lawyers had failed to reply to Ralph A. Cohen s letter of July 1986. This four‑month delay was totally unnecessary and constituted part of an emerging pattern of continued delay tactics calculated to waste my time and increase my legal costs ‑ in order to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice.

 

The only reason why they got away with it was the – quote - …before the courts… - unquote - phenomenon, which shielded them from questioning by outsiders such as media reporters.

32. In a letter dated February 5th 1987 to Jean‑Paul Gourdeau, then Chairman and C.E.O. of SNC from Mr. A J. Fisher, Mr. Fisher asked on my behalf about the possibility of an out of court settlement. Mr. Fisher was Service Officer of 306 Wing Royal Canadian Air Force Association (in Montreal, Quebec), of which I was a member at that time.

As a result, SNC s lawyers agreed to a meeting but with my lawyer only, which meeting then occurred on April 9th 1987. Present were Anna Zampini of Ralph A. Cohen and Associates representing Chisholm, and Brigitte Charron of Dunton Rainville representing SNC.

 

It is reported that Brigitte Charron  said that I had already been given – quote - about 6 months – unquote - indemnity when she knew, or should have  known, that this was untrue.
