....Errrr "Documents".
Mr. T., Bill Tieleman, who was an eye-witness in the RailGate courtroom today, has the story:
B.C. Rail lawyer Robert Deane said this afternoon that there was “an explanation and it’s not sinister.”
Deane said CN Rail had taken over B.C. Rail documents in July 2004, so they were not in B.C. Rail’s possession.
Deane said an affidavit filed in June of 2009 explained that when the transfer of B.C. Rail to CN was completed in about July 2004, recoreds were transferred to the control of CN.
Outside court Deane declined to answer questions about why B.C. Rail still retained some records related to Kinsella but not others or whether B.C. Rail knows if the invoices exist and are in CN's control.
Whew!
Sure glad we didn't 'sell' BC Rail to CN, otherwise they might have taken possession of everything under the British Columbia sun.
_________
In related RailGate news, according to Mr. Tieleman, defense lawyer Kevin McCullough, in open court, continued to allege that Mr. Kinsella worked for both BC Rail and CN Rail, although judge Bennett says there is no evidence of that.....
At least not currently (evidence, I mean)...... Which begs the question, would Mdme Justice Bennett change her mind if she got a chance to actually see the missing homework?
Mark Hume's report on the day's court hearing, which has some good and important stuff in it, including a confirmation that Mr. Kinsella's lawyer did, indeed, argue that the release of documents describing his clients deeds and/or actions while he was being paid by a public company shouldn't be released because, apparently, descriptions of those actions and/or deeds "could damage his client's reputation" (say, what?), is here.
