PAUL DRYSDALE
Crown Counsel
Public Prosecution Service of Nova Scotia
RE:
PROVINCIAL COURT FILE NO. 8519093
WHAT
EXACTLY WAS THE ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCE?
Mr.
Drysdale,
I write
once again regarding Provincial Court File No. 8519093.
Nearly
eight years have now passed since the August 25, 2018 Jeep transaction.
Despite
years of proceedings, disclosure requests, motions, litigation, passport
consequences, and substantial prejudice, the fundamental question remains
unanswered:
WHAT
EXACTLY WAS THE ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCE?
To this
day, I have never received a clear explanation identifying:
• the
precise false representation allegedly made;
• the
person to whom it was allegedly made;
• the
person who allegedly relied upon it;
• the
specific financial loss caused by that alleged representation;
• the
evidence establishing each essential element of the offence.
Instead,
the record reveals numerous inconsistencies and significant exculpatory
evidence that appears to have been ignored.
One of the
most troubling examples concerns the second Jeep located in Sherbrooke.
As early
as October 6, 2020, an opposition to seizure before judgment was filed in Court
of Québec File No. 500-22-263082-201 concerning Jeep Wrangler JL VIN
1C4HJXEGXLW140329.
That court
filing specifically alleged that:
• the July
17, 2020 payment of $1,089.52 had been made;
• the
August 17, 2020 payment of $1,089.52 had been made;
• all
payments due under the financing agreement had been paid;
• the
account was current when the vehicle was seized on September 18, 2020;
• there
was no payment default at the time of seizure.
The filing
further alleged that the seizure was based upon inaccurate and misleading
information supplied by Jean Sebastien Perreault during the lender's
investigation.
These
allegations were not invented years later. They were raised immediately in
2020, only weeks after the seizure occurred.
The
Sherbrooke Jeep was not exported from Canada.
It was not
dismantled.
It was not
hidden.
It was not
sold through criminal channels.
It
remained fully identifiable and recoverable.
The
account was being serviced and payments were being made.
These
facts are difficult to reconcile with any allegation that I was engaged in a
scheme to obtain vehicles without payment.
I
remain deeply concerned by the role played by information supplied by
Jean-Sébastien Perreault of Scotiabank.
Throughout
multiple proceedings, serious concerns have been raised regarding the accuracy
of statements attributed to Mr. Perreault, including allegations concerning
addresses, telephone numbers, Air Bermuda Inc., identity issues, and other
matters that remain highly disputed.
The
October 6, 2020 filing specifically challenged allegations that Air Bermuda did
not exist, challenged allegations concerning telephone numbers allegedly
provided on credit applications, and challenged allegations concerning identity
and address issues.
Those
concerns have never been adequately addressed.
At the
same time, there remains uncertainty regarding the alleged loss itself.
Amherst
Chrysler ultimately recovered the original Jeep of 2018.
The
vehicle was subsequently resold.
The actual
financial impact remains unclear.
I have
repeatedly requested clarification regarding the alleged victim and the alleged
loss relied upon to justify the prosecution. Who is the Victim?
To date,
those questions remain unanswered.
The
procedural history of this matter is equally troubling.
The events
date back to August 2018.
The
prosecution was commenced years later. 3 years later?
Disclosure
was significantly delayed. 520 Days. Only that exceed the 18 Month Jordan
Limit on Crown Fault
Numerous
motions were filed.
Video
appearance requests were denied by Judge Rosalind Michie. Whit no written
reason
Jordan
concerns have repeatedly been raised. IGNORE
The matter
now extends far beyond what would normally be expected for a straightforward
allegation involving a single personal vehicle transaction.
Recent
media reports have highlighted cases involving dozens (94 Cars) of stolen
vehicles and millions of dollars in losses.
My case
does not involve a criminal organization.
My case
does not involve vehicle exportation.
My case
does not involve a theft ring.
My case
does not involve dozens of vehicles.
My case
concerns a single personal Jeep transaction.
The
existence of ongoing payments on the Sherbrooke Jeep, the recovery and resale
of the original Jeep, the unresolved questions concerning the alleged victim
and loss, and the extraordinary passage of time all raise serious concerns
regarding both the strength of the prosecution and the continued public
interest in pursuing it.
Accordingly,
I respectfully request that the Crown conduct a fresh and independent review of
this file.
After
nearly eight years, I respectfully submit that the interests of justice require
a clear answer to a simple question:
WHAT
EXACTLY WAS THE ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCE?
I remain
willing to discuss a fair and practical resolution of this matter.
Respectfully
submitted,
Robert saavoie
