(43) October 21, 2002: Letter received from
Tower Administrative Services further delays in Margaret's claim for STD.
The letter dated October 10th, 2002 and post marked October 18th, 2002 acknowledges that
Margaret has an illness and it is unclear as to whether the "disability" is due
to an illness or is it work related stress that is causing this illness.
At this point what difference did it make? The fact
they acknowledge her illness is why she should have received her benefits.

(55) August 13, 2003 Statement of Claim
served on Ron Hicks/Scoreboard Canada Inc.
Court File No. 03-CV1252918CMM2
In my opinion their claims have no merit or foundation. I did not file a
statement-of-defence. Rather, I forwarded a letter to them (September 8, 2003)
with proof that their claims against Scoreboard were false. If they proceed
to try and get an injunction or damages against myself or Scoreboard, they will have to
plead their case to a Judge. In my opinion no honourable Judge would disregard the
evidence or my rights granted under the "Canadian Charter of Rights and
Freedoms". |

withdrawing his services to Margaret and myself. |
