Court of King’s Bench of Alberta Citation: Landry v James, 2024 ABKB 86 Date: 20240214 Docket: FL03 57582, 2101 06420 Registry: Calgary Between: Vanessa Amy Landry Proposed Applicant - and - Geoffrey David James Proposed Applicant _______________________________________________________ Memorandum of Decision of the Associate Chief Justice D.B. Nixon _______________________________________________________ [ 1 ] Vanessa Amy Landry [Ms. Landry] was made subject to court access restrictions in 2018 following Ms.

Landry’s attempts to use Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument [OPCA] ( Meads v Meads , 2012 ABQB 571 ) strategies in litigation before the Alberta Court of King’s Bench. The result is that Ms. Landry needs court permission – “leave” – prior to initiating and continuing litigation before that Alberta Court of King’s Bench. Subsequently, Ms. Landry made two leave applications in relation to the children of herself and Geoffrey David James [Mr. James]. That resulted in two reported court decisions: Landry (Re) , 2021 ABQB 390 ; and James v Landry , 2022 ABQB 349 .

[ 2 ] On February 6, 2024, my office received from Ms. Landry a leave application and supporting documentation to file a “Joint Statement of Claim for Divorce” and “Joint Request for Divorce (Without Oral Evidence)”. What Ms. Landry proposed was filing documents that would result in a divorce between Ms. Landry and Mr. James where the terms of that divorce were already agreed upon by Ms. Landry and Mr. James. [ 3 ] I have reviewed Ms. Landry’s materials and conclude that Ms.

Landry has met the criteria of: 1. identifying a reasonable basis for the proposed filings, and 2. disclosing the relevant information to support the proposed joint divorce request. [ 4 ] I, therefore, grant Ms. Landry’s request for permission to file the proposed joint divorce application. Ms. Landry shall present this decision with her now approved filings to the Alberta Court of King’s Bench Clerk of the Court to file and initiate the divorce proceeding. Dated at the City of Calgary, Alberta this 14 th day of February 2024. D.B. Nixon A.C.J.C.K.B.A. Appearances: Vanessa Amy Landry Self-represented Litigant
