Docket: A-336-06

Citation: 2006 FCA 329

 

Present:          NOËL J.A.

 

BETWEEN:

BAR ATTRACTION PLUS

VIATEUR MERCIER

Appellant

and

ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA

Respondent

 

 

REASONS FOR ORDER

NOËL J.A.

[1]               The appellant filed a notice of appeal from a decision by Dussault J. dated June 8, 2006, in the matter of Viateur Mercier and Her Majesty the Queen, 2005-1776(IT)I.

 

[2]               The notice of appeal mistakenly identifies the parties according to the style of cause appearing above. At the request of the Attorney General acting in the name of Her Majesty the Queen, the said style of cause is hereby amended to read as follows:


 

VIATEUR MERCIER

Appellant

and

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

Respondent

 

 

[3]               The appellant is applying for leave to be represented by a non-lawyer. This person claims that he understands the facts underlying the appeal, but in reading the proceedings filed to date and the resulting confusion, it is apparent that the person approached does not understand the nature of the proceedings, and that a lawyer would better serve the interests of justice.

 

[4]               The appellant’s motion is therefore dismissed.
