Chief Justice Bryan Williams Resigns Amid Complaints of Judicial Manipulation
Bryan Williams, a long time Liberal Party of Canada supporter was appointed Chief Justice on the Supreme Court of British Columbia in 1996 by Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
Chief Justice Williams suddenly resigned in February, 2000, at age 67 from a post he would have held to age 75, amid charges of judicial manipulation of the Sun Belt Water Inc. lawsuit in the British Columbia courts.
The full details of the judicial manipulation carried out by Bryan Williams have not yet been made public and may never be known.
The first evidence of the hand of Bryan Williams in judicial manipulation occurred in 1998 when he directed the court staff to block delivery of a letter from Sun Belt Water Inc.'s legal counsel to Justice John Bouck and, at about the same time, asked the Law Society of British Columbia to take action against Mr. Carten because he had filed complaints with the Canadian Judicial Council concerning what appeared to have been crooked judicial conduct by Justice Robert Edwards.
In July, 1999, Mr. Carten filed his first complaint about Chief Justice Bryan Williams with the Canadian Judicial Council. Immediately, Chief Justice Williams took what appears to have been retaliatory action by withdrawing Justice James Shabbits from his position as assigned judge on the Sun Belt Lawsuit and inserting Justice Howard Skipp.
Justice Shabbits had denied a motion by the Attorney General Of British Columbia to dismiss the Sun Belt lawsuit in 1997 and the lawyers working for the Attorney General had decided to bring on the same motion, again, in July, 1999, immediately after it learned Mr. Carten had taken up refugee status in the neighbouring province of Alberta. Justice Skipp did exactly what the Attorney General asked and dismissed hte lawsuit. Click here to read about the bizarre events in the Nanaimo Courthouse when Justice Skipp dismissed the case.
Shortly after Justice Skipp dismissed the Sun Belt Water Inc. lawsuit information was obtained that Prime Minister Jean Chretien and a number of Liberal Party of Canada politicians had been investors in W.C.W.>Western Canada Water Enterprises Ltd. Upon receipt of this information, Mr Carten "connected the dots" and, in late December 1999, filed a complaint with the Canadian Judicial Council alleging that Chief Justice Bryan Williams was manipulating the judicial process by inserting puppets to favour the Prime Minister of Canada.
Within six weeks, Chief Justice Bryan Williams suddenly announced that he would be resigning his immediately.
The Canadian Judicial Council and the Chief Justice of British Columbia, Chief Justice McEachern, immediately panicked and, thinking the reputation of the whole judicial administration of Canada was at risk, issued false denials that there had been any complaints or investigations of Mr. Williams and recruited former Deputy Attorney General Stephen Owen and Supreme Court of Canada Justice John "Jack" Major to assist to re-assure the public at a public forum at Simon Fraser University where Canada's judiciary was praised as the best in the world.
