Justice Pinard BETWEEN: KEITH DAVID LAWSON, A NATURALPERSON Applicant and THE MINISTER OF NATIONAL REVENUE ASTHE MINISTER RESPONSIBLE FORTHE CANADA REVENUE AGENCY Respondent REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER [1] The applicant’s appeal, pursuant to Rule 51 of the Federal Courts Rules, of the order of Prothonotary Lafrenière datedMarch 29, 2011, denying his motion to amend his notice of application is dismissed, as upon either a de novo review or a moredeferential review of the Prothonotary’s discretion, the order is obviously correct. [2] First, the sought amendments constitute a collateral attack on the applicant’s potential tax liabilities and search warrantsissued by the BC Provincial Court which fall outside this Court’s jurisdiction. [3] Second, the applicant challenges primarily administrative and investigatory steps of government officials that are not capableof being judicially reviewed. [4] Third, the applicant’s allegations respecting the Minister’s application for a search warrant under the Criminal Code versusthe Income Tax Act (or the Excise Tax Act) have no chance of success (see R v Multiform Manufacturing Co, (SCC),[1990] 2 SCR 624; and R v Grant, [1993] 3 SCR 233 at paras. 40-43). [5] Fourth, it is clear, therefore, that the proposed amendments would not facilitate the determination of the real questions incontroversy between the parties, and would not serve the interests of justice.
