Wallbridge v. HMTQ – 2012 NWTSC 23
Wallbridge was driving along the road, a car was illegally stopped in a moving lane, Wallbridge called the by-law office, and continually honked his horn at the other car. The other car then went 4-5 blocks, Wallbridge followed it to where it stopped. The driver of the other car got out and went to Wallbridge’s window, Wallbridge who was in the process of contacting the bylaw office rolled down his window. Other driver took Wallbridge’s phone, and later returned it when asked. As the other driver was walking back to his car Wallbridge slowly drove his vehicle slowly forward and nudged or bumped the other driver once or twice. While not injuring the other driver he then went to park close besides the driver’s side of the other car to prevent the other driver from getting back into his vehicle.
The trial Judge determined the appellant intentionally nudged or bumped his vehicle into another person in means to intimidate the other person, and believed in doing so Wallbridge did so in a manner dangerous to the public.
The case was an appeal focusing on whether the factual findings could have been made by the trial judge. The appeal was allowed because not all of the circumstances of section 249 were identified or met, and not all circumstances on the altercation were taken into consideration by the judge.

    Before any law and acts are made, there is a long procedure in the process of it being passed. If there are new laws it usually is chosen by majority decision usually in courts or the parliament. For example, the executive or the government form laws in the House of Commons by setting out bills. Sometimes it may come from their election mandate in order to be chosen, for example recently how labour vowed to ban fox hunting which can be shown as an example. Moreover, they then set out a bill to become an act which gets passed to the house and then to the House of Lords as a checking procedure before it is made. However, if the House of Lords don’t pass it as a law then the executive can go and make it an act. This specific method shows that it can be done by the government and has a process for it before anything can be done; usually these acts and laws come out during elections in order to win voters and sometimes are done and even not processed.…

    The judge has made a judicial error by allowing the Plaintiff's counsel to comment on the case about Minichiello's boss being a German with an "attitude of hatred" and made forced analogies to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The judge also allowed irrelevant testimony, which asserted that the Club discriminated against Latinos, Jews, and African-Americans, to the issue of discrimination based on sexual orientation. I agree that awarding $20,000,000 was grossly excessive and has no rational basis, and was an error by the judge as well.…
