The Decision Document on This Page
This page displays the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario) decision issued in the Ontario proceeding connected to the Bermuda lawsuit, released on November 1, 2016. The complete document is displayed below through the embedded document viewer so it can be read in full, page by page.
The passage quoted on this page comes directly from the decision’s own language: “The notice to the plaintiff raised this Court’s lack of any apparent jurisdiction over these claims.” That single sentence sits at the centre of what this collection documents — where the Ontario court says it stood on jurisdiction before the claims that later reached the Bermuda court system.
Reading this decision alongside the other records in this collection — the court management records, the police department statements, and the documents published on the related pages linked at the bottom of this page — shows the sequence in which each institution’s documents appeared in the timeline Peter Sagos has assembled since returning from Bermuda.
Every page in this collection is a record set: what is published here is the documentation itself, displayed as it was received. Start with the full Bermuda vacation story for the timeline, then follow the related links to each institution’s records.
How to Read the Document Viewer
The document viewer embedded on this page displays the decision exactly as Peter received it, one page at a time. You can read it page by page in the viewer without leaving this page — there is no download required and no login. If the viewer loads slowly on your connection, give it a few seconds; documents of this length render one page at a time.
Why the date matters. November 1, 2016 sits in the middle of the timeline told on this site: after the vacation and the events documented on the police pages, and before the later proceedings covered on the Privacy Commissioner page. Reading the decision with that timeline in view makes the sequence of records — and the years-long wait between them — easier to follow.
The jurisdiction passage in context. The quote on this page is one sentence of the court’s written decision. The full document shows where in the judgment that sentence appears and what the court said around it. Peter has published the complete document rather than the excerpt precisely so readers can see that context for themselves.
For the events that led to this document, the full vacation story is the starting point. For the Ontario-side records, see the Canadian agencies page.
