The long anticipated hearing of Adam Skelly challenging the Reopening Ontario Act (R.O.A.) has been delayed again, this time, until 2025. It was supposed to begin next week, and last for 3 days. See parts 1, 2 and 3 for background information.
The prime reason seems to be that one of the expert witnesses has withdrawn, leaving Skelly scrambling to find a replacement.
Justice Akazaki vacated the dates, while questioning whether or not the hearings could be squeezed into a single day, or 2.
ENDORSEMENT
[1] This is a request to adjourn and reschedule a three-day hearing of a constitutional challenge to a provincial offence arising from the alleged breach of the Ontario Covid-19 lockdown order.
[2] The OCJ has stayed the provincial offence trial. The applicant / accused has waived his s. 11(b) rights. Nevertheless, I am cognizant of the need to avoid further delay. The OCJ proceeding largely entails an agreed statement of fact.
[3] The adjournment was necessitated by the withdrawal of one of the applicant’s expert witnesses. There are also additional steps to be undertaken.
[4] The main impediment to scheduling the return date was the dispute over the length of the hearing. The applicant maintained the case requires three days. The respondents both stated the hearing can be completed in one day.
[5] There is an advantage to having the duration of the hearing settled by a case conference judge, once counsel have organized the completion of the next steps. If the hearing can take place during one day or two instead of three, the hearing can be scheduled earlier and without taking up unnecessary hearing dates.
[6] Therefore, I hereby order:
1. The October 1, 2, and 7, 2024, hearing dates are hereby vacated.
2. The parties shall request a case conference at the earliest opportunity, once the next steps have been agreed, to reschedule the hearing
Why does all of this still matter? For starters, the R.O.A. is still on the books, even if there are no orders in effect from it. This means that in theory, a new “crisis” could lead to future dictates.

It is HIGH TIME for Adam’s court persecution to be over! Take that A**hole F*rd to court and charge him with many breaches of the law and the constitution. Then let that drag through the courts for six years, all the time trying to ruin what little he has left of his reputation. I have had enough of government sanctioned LAWFARE! Clean out the justice system and the Lieberal govt. and the totalitarians who forced the entire Covid plandemic on us! We need freedom again!
