The actions of my employer violated INFORMED CONSENT CASE LAW.

It is illegal to force me to perform a medical procedure such as injecting myself with COVID vaccine without providing updated information on the efficacy and safety of these vaccines. [(optional - if it applies to you) Multiple requests to obtain such information were made to both director and director general and none of such information was provided to me.]

An apparent consent is invalid if it has been obtained by fraud, duress, undue influence, or from someone who is legally incapable of consenting.” Cook v.Lewis, [1951] S.C.R. 830.

Consent secured by force or threat of force is not acceptable. Lebrun v. High-Low Foods Ltd. (1968), 69 D.L.R. (2d) 433; Norberg v. Wynrib, supra, n. 2.


The validity of a consent depends on the “power relationship between the parties”. A two step process is involved in determining whether or not there has been legally effective consent.” If there is proof of a “power dependency” relationship, that is a “marked inequality in the respective power of the parties” and proof of “exploitation” of the weaker by the stronger, the consent is not genuine.” Supra, n. 2, relying on the contact idea of ‘unconscionability’ and the criminal law idea of ‘authority’



Case law, Roncarelli v Duplessis, [1959] SCR 121:

https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/2751/index.do


In January 1959, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a public officer can be held personally liable when acting in their official capacity and in excess of their lawful authority:


“... every official, from the Prime Minister down to a constable or a collector of taxes, is under the saine [sic] responsibility for every act done without legal justification as any other citizen. The Reports abound with cases in which officials have been brought before the courts, and made, in their personal capacity, liable to punishment, or to the payment of damages, for acts done in their official character but in excess of their lawful authority. A colonial governor, a secretary of state, a military officer, and all subordinates, though carrying out the commands of their official superiors, are as responsible for any act which the law does not authorize as is any private and unofficial person.”
