Global Re-Evaluation of Justice John Rooke's Meads v. Meads Decision

 

Global Re-Evaluation of Justice John Rooke's Meads v. Meads Decision

Context
Meads v. Meads (2012) was a decision rendered by Justice John Rooke of the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench (ACQB). The case became widely known due to the court’s condemnation of what it described as “Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments” (OPCA), which often include arguments against the legal system, the authority of judges, and claims of immunity or exemption from the laws of Canada.

While Justice Rooke's decision may have been seen as an important ruling on these types of arguments, there is a critical legal question regarding his oath of office and whether it may have rendered his authority to rule in this case invalid.

Oath of Office and Legitimacy
It has now come to light that Justice John Rooke may have taken an invalid oath, potentially in breach of the Federal Oaths of Allegiance Act. Under the Federal Oaths of Allegiance Act, an individual is required to swear an oath of allegiance to the reigning monarch (currently King Charles III, as of 2025), affirming loyalty to the monarch and to the laws of Canada.

If Justice Rooke took an oath that was not in compliance with the exact wording and requirements of this statute — or, crucially, if he took an invalid oath that violated the terms of the oath as prescribed under the law — his oath of office would be void. This renders any legal authority he may have had to make decisions, such as those in Meads v. Meads, questionable and potentially illegitimate.

Breach of the Federal Oaths of Allegiance Act

The Federal Oaths of Allegiance Act clearly outlines the requirement for an individual to swear allegiance to the King of Canada (currently King Charles III), and any deviation from this prescribed form, especially if it involves false or incomplete oaths, could be seen as a legal violation.

Oath Requirement Under the Federal Act:

The exact wording of the oath, in accordance with the Federal Oaths of Allegiance Act, is:

“I, [name], do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third, King of Canada, His Heirs and Successors, according to law. So help me God.”

If Justice Rooke did not take the proper and legally prescribed oath — for instance, if his oath did not include the full and accurate wording regarding King Charles III as the current monarch, or if the oath contained any additional elements inconsistent with the prescribed text — it would constitute a breach of the Federal Oaths of Allegiance Act. In such a case, the legitimacy of his judicial appointment could be called into question.

Implications of an Invalid Oath

1. Lack of Authority: If Justice Rooke’s oath was found to be invalid, it means that he lacked the lawful authority to act in the capacity of a judge. His actions, including the Meads v. Meads ruling, would be rendered void or null and void due to a lack of a legitimate oath.

2. Breach of the Oath: Given the breach of the Federal Oaths of Allegiance Act, Justice Rooke’s decisions, including the Meads v. Meads case, could be challenged on the grounds that they were made by a judge who was not properly sworn into office. This undermines the jurisprudence of his decisions and potentially raises issues regarding the validity of the entire case.

3. Violation of Natural Law: A breach of the oath also has significant consequences on the moral and ethical legitimacy of any judicial decisions made under such circumstances. The failure to uphold the oath, which includes loyalty to the reigning monarch and the laws of Canada, violates not only statutory law but also natural justice and the law of equity.

4. Opportunity for Rectification: A global re-evaluation of the Meads v. Meads ruling is necessary, as it is based on a potentially invalid judicial foundation. Since the authority of the court is in question, any and all decisions made by Justice Rooke, as well as the implications for individuals involved in the case, should be subject to reevaluation or potentially overturned.

Remedy and Action

If the oath of office taken by Justice Rooke is determined to be invalid, remedies should be sought as follows:

1. Expungement of the Meads v. Meads Decision: The decision should be expunged as it was made under the authority of a judge with no legitimate oath.

2. Reconsideration of Affected Cases: All cases that were influenced by the Meads v. Meads decision, especially those involving the OPCA arguments, should be re-examined in light of the invalidity of Justice Rooke's authority.

3. Formation of a De Jure Court: To ensure that justice is properly administered, a de jure court, based on principles of natural law and equity, must be established to address the issues raised by the Meads v. Meads ruling, with a legitimate judge acting under the correct oath of office.

4. Rescission of Any Falsely Applied Legal Principles: Legal principles or doctrines derived from the Meads v. Meads decision, especially those involving OPCA arguments, should be revisited and rescinded if they are found to be based on flawed judicial authority.

Conclusion

The Meads v. Meads decision stands in jeopardy due to the invalid oath taken by Justice John Rooke. The breach of the Federal Oaths of Allegiance Act is a serious issue that raises questions about the legitimacy of the entire case and the judicial authority exercised by Justice Rooke. A global re-evaluation of the decision and its consequences is warranted, with actions to expunge the decision, re-evaluate affected cases, and ensure that justice is upheld through a de jure court rooted in equity and natural law.
