This Memorandum of Decision involved the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) seeking to recover a debt from Patrick Courtoreille. Mr. Courtoreille, in his defence, argued against the validity of the debt without providing concrete evidence, leading RBC to apply for Summary Judgment, pursuant to Rules 7.2 and 7.3. The Application was granted by Applications Judge Park, who also awarded solicitor-client Costs to RBC.

The Court identified the defence employed by Mr. Courtoreille as stemming from Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument (“OPCA”) tactics, which were presented on Mr. Courtoreille’s behalf by a third party, "UnitedWeStandPeople," and notably by Mr. Kevin Kumar during the hearing. These tactics included demands for an "original wet ink signed loan document" and an Affidavit verifying the debt was not sold, and other known pseudolaw strategies that have been consistently rejected by Canadian Courts.

The Court found the involvement of Mr. Kumar and UnitedWeStandPeople concerning, and their actions brought up serious concerns about the abuse of legal process. The Court emphasized that such behaviours undermine the administration of justice and detailed measures to prevent Mr. Kumar from further participating in Court proceedings, citing his past activities, some of which are linked to fraudulent schemes.

In conclusion, the Court ordered several prohibitions, including restrictions under Rules 2.22 and 2.23, restricting Mr. Kumar’s ability to act as a representative or provide legal advice, ensuring he can no longer engage in or facilitate pseudolegal activities within the jurisdiction of the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta.
