<p>[quote user="daveklepper"]And I willing to stand by the assertion that Harding Broike the Law and that the Judge Made a Serious Error.[/quote]</p> <p>IIRC the trial was in a Superior Court not a Federal Court. As the Railroad crossed the border between Canada and the USA it worked under Federal law. So the court in Sherbrook might have the wrong court for the rule 112 violation.</p> <p><a href="https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tcss/RSA_review/chapter4-374.htm">https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tcss/RSA_review/chapter4-374.htm</a></p> <p>Excerpt from the link: <em>Some 34 Canadian railways<strong><a href="https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tcss/RSA_review/chapter4-374.htm#1"><sup>1</sup></a></strong> have interprovincial or Canada-U.S. operations and are therefore regulated by federal law. These include the two major freight-carrying railways, CN and CP,<strong><a href="https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tcss/RSA_review/chapter4-374.htm#2"><sup>2</sup></a></strong> the passenger rail company VIA Rail, and more than 30 short line companies. Another 62 railways<strong><a href="https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tcss/RSA_review/chapter4-374.htm#3"><sup>3</sup></a></strong> (excluding industrial lines) operate entirely within a single province and are, therefore, regulated by provincial governments. </em></p> <p>Someone said here that there is a Federal trial still pending.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
