Robert Allan Maxwell

The applicant sought to vary a probation order imposed following his guilty plea to breaching section 40(1)(c) of the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002.

The original probation order required restitution of $100,000 to Alternative Risk Services within two years.

The applicant requested an extension of time to complete the restitution payments, citing delays in obtaining approval from the Canada Revenue Agency for business loss claims and ongoing financial difficulties.

The respondent consented to the variation.

The court granted the variation, extending the probation period and establishing a payment schedule, and additionally imposed a free-standing restitution order pursuant to section 41(1) of the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002.

The appellant appealed his convictions on three provincial offences: failing to have an insurance card, speeding, and failing to surrender his driver's licence.

The appellant raised 20 grounds of appeal based on idiosyncratic interpretations of constitutional law, statutory enactments, and common law, arguing that the relevant statutes did not apply to him.

The court dismissed all grounds of appeal, finding that the appellant's arguments were fanciful and had no air of reality.

The court confirmed the convictions and sentence, relying on binding precedent from a similar appeal involving the appellant's wife.
