  Hope nobody ever has to use this court system for anything? Its not set up to help you for anything. Its all about you rolling out the red carpet for a judge coming out of the back room that knows nothing of your case. These arrogant justices are not very caring at all, and subsequently your left crossing your fingers for justice only to later discover there is none. Id say its justice for a law firm or a lawyer, because they all get awarded costs on both sides regardless of a cases conclusion. In all honesty it really should be abolished with a panel driven system where lawyers dont run the show. #nowinners

  The following is the profile for Justice Jasvinder S. (Bill) Basran (the new justice appointed to BC Supreme Court) according to Tina Chan of UBC: Justice Jasvinder S. (Bill) Basran holds degrees in commerce (1989) and law (1994) from the University of Saskatchewan. After articling with Campney & Murphy in Vancouver, he was admitted to the British Columbia bar in 1995. He then joined the Department of Justice Canada in Vancouver, where he practised primarily in the area of tax litigation and appeared before the Tax Court of Canada, the Federal Court, and the Federal Court of Appeal. In 2004, Justice Basran became General Counsel and Director of the B.C. Tax Law Section of the Department of Justice. In this capacity, he was responsible for federal civil tax litigation in British Columbia and managed a group of over 60 lawyers and staff. He was also a member of the National Tax Board of Directors. In 2007, Justice Basran was appointed Regional Director General of the B.C. Regional Office of the Department of Justice. He was responsible for more than 400 employees who provided litigation and advisory services. From 2007 to 2016, he was a member of the Department of Justice Executive Committee, and he was a member of the National Litigation Sector's Board of Directors from 2016 until his appointment. Justice Basran helped launch the Department's National Mentoring Program and was the Department's Champion for Visible Minorities for almost a decade. He was also instrumental in creating and developing the first Pro Bono Program at the Department of Justice, which currently consists of nine legal clinics in eight cities across Canada. In 2012, he received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his work on this initiative. Since 2003, Justice Basran has volunteered with various amateur sports organizations as a coach and board member, and he has been a Director of the Access Pro Bono Society of British Columbia since 2014. Justice Basran travels extensively, plays golf badly, and enjoys time with close family and friends. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- My comment: Oil and water do not mix. For materials to mix, they have to be the same type. Corruption supports corruption. Honesty supports honesty. Corruption will not support honesty and vice versa.

  Staff here are rude and seem very miserable, a simple please and thank you response when dealing with people is a basic thing we learn as children then as some of us grow up we keep this level of respect your staff did not grow up! Attitude is everything people get it? Tax payers should also be very upset at the condition of this building it seems as if we pay the judges too much money this building is in poor condition a very disgusting building, Vancouver should be ashamed of this place!
