Mr. Doug Downey; office or the Attorney General to THE QUEEN IN RIGHT OF THE
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

It is my understanding that the Government of Canada as a constitutional monarchy, derives it’s

right to govern and it’s duty to those governed by way of the social compact/social trust through
mutual consent.1 That trust and the consent which grants it, was inherited by Canada from
England through the laws of England that were received in Canada at it’s time of incorporation.
Specifically the dual system of the common law land tenure and the body of trust law known as
equity evolving from the courts of Chancery.

This consent comes by each citizen granting a settlement of land at birth subject to overreach
by a trust for sale in equity2. England and the laws of England are founded on a land tenure or
land trust system. Each person when born has a certified live record of birth which constitutes a
settlement under the Settled Land Act3 and represents that grant to the English land tenure
which founded Canada’s system of law and government. Within that act are the rights of settlors
and duties of the trustees to the settlements/settlors.

I, being born in Ontario and having the birth settlement accepted and stamped in this province
am a settlor within the province of Ontario. The registrar having accepted that settlement as
co/trustee represents the one with the duties to the settlor. It is my intention to have my capacity
as settlor under the Settled Land Act 1925 determined and your duty as trustee under that same
Act determined and acknowledged.

Dear Mr. Doug Downey; office or the Attorney General to THE QUEEN IN RIGHT OF THE
PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

I am writing to you today in your capacity and function4 as agent for the crown and ask if you are
trustee for the purposes of the Settled Land Act 1925. If you are not then please indicate who
is.This notice and subsequent request is in accordance with the notice requirement outlined
within the Settled Land Act 1925. 5

The Settled Land Act 1925 is law in Canada due to the rules of reception of English law at the
time of Canada’s incorporation.6 As a descendant born in Ontario having a settlement there, the
laws of England by reception are my birthright7 of which I am now asking for a determination of
right as settlor as per the Settled Land Act 1925. Whether you believe me to have a right as a
settlor or not it is your duty to make a determination either way.

Attached is my Birth certificate (certificate No. ) signed by the Registrar General for Ontario as
evidence of overreach by imposition of a trust for sale, as well as the STATEMENT OF LIVE
BIRTH (registration ##/certificate #) as evidence of the original settlement. These records

4Ministry of the Attorney General Act R.S.O. 1990. S.5(d) Functions “Shall perform the duties and
have the powers that belong to the Attorney General and Solicitor General of England by law or
usage.”
5 Settled Land Act 1925 S.(16)1(ii) “Where any person of full age becomes entitled to require a legal estate in the
settled land to be vested in him in priority to the settlement, by reason of a right of reverter, statutory or otherwise, or
an equitable right of entry taking effect, or on the ground that his interest ought no longer to be capable of being over-
reached under the powers of this Act, the estate owner shall be bound, if so requested in writing, to transfer or create
such legal estate as may be required for giving legal effect to the rights of the person so entitled;”
6 The reception of English law 1977 Vol. XV, J.E. Cote pg. 49 117 Kielly v. Carson “But they (privy
council) said the inhabitants of a settled colony have the same rights and immunities as British subjects,
and the settlers’ descendants have”
7 Act of Settlements 1700 ch.IV “And whereas the Laws of England are the Birthright of the People
thereof and all the Kings and Queens who shall ascend the Throne of this Realm ought to administer the
Government of the same according to the said Laws and all their Officers and Ministers ought to serve
them respectively according to the same”
establish a settlement was granted as defined by the Settled Land Act 1925 and are the
grounds for my request of determination of right as settlor within the Act.

Upon receipt of this Notice a declaration of my right as settlor within the Settled Land Act is to
be issued by your office within 30 days of this request/notice’s issuance. It being a fact that I am
now no longer abstaining from my rights as setllor8. As such, being of full age and entitled by a
reason of right of reverter on the grounds that my right ought no longer be capable of being
overreached under the powers of the Act.9 I am binding you (the estate owner) to give legal
effect to my rights as settlor under the Act by way of a declaration of right.

Any attempt at overreach is unlawful as of the issuance of this notice, and as a result any
breach of my rights as settlor under the Settled Land Act by you or any officer, employee or
agent of the crown is liable to tort.10 Common law is now and always claimed in this matter and
equity ought not take priority now or at any time in the future in regards to the same.

If your understanding is such that your duties do not include the rights of settlor within the
Settled Land Act then a response to say so and indicate who you believe holds this duty under
the Act, is requested.
