FORM 25A
NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL As per the Supreme Court of Canada Rule 25
TAKE NOTICE that Arlene Lowery hereby applies to the Supreme Court of Canada to take leave to appeal to this Court, pursuant to Rule 25 [(a) to (g) inclusive from the judgment of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, File 1605 made September 09, 2010, and for the appeal be allowed and the judgment appealed from be set aside and Order the Respondents (Defendants) to pay damages and costs of this action as setout in this application; or an Order for an Independent Judicial Inquiry or for a trial by jury, as this Honorable Court deems justice would be better served; and that the appellant (plaintiff) shall have judgment on her behalf and on behalf of the 4 infant plaintiff children, as their litigation guardian; and that the minor infant child plaintiff, Charlene Dobson, be added to the Statement of Claim (Amended Fresh Copy) as an adult to this appeal; AND FURTHER TAKE NOTICE that this application for leave is made on the following grounds that the appellate judges, [in their decision (2010CASK109)] erred in: Ground 1: not providing answers to her questions and grounds as stated in her Appeal Argument, but simply agreeing with the Chambers judges decision did prejudice her in providing a more focused approach to this Application. Ground 2: not determining that the Chambers judge erred in law when he failed to determine that the Respondents (Defendants) had not filed a new application (under Rule173) to strike the Statement of Claim (Amended Fresh Copy) R.5.(2)(a)(b). Ground 3: not determining that the Chambers judge erred in law when he relegated responsibility to the Directors of the organization, The Anchorage Counselling & Rehabilitation Services Inc. for the actions of collusion and conspiracy in enforcing 2 hostile evictions in which she lost the property that she had a trust condition to recover her investment with the Directors to sell it and recover her investment. Mortgage filed and Personal Property Security Act,(1993,c.P-6.2,s.14.), (1993,c.P-6.2,s.15.), (1993,c.P-6.2,s.16.), (1993,c.P-6.2,s.17(1) to (4) inclusive.), Ground 4: not determining that the Respondents (Defendants) had no Statement of Defence to plead their own version of the facts and that any allegations and facts as pleaded by the Appellant (Plaintiff) had to be deemed as true. Rule 152 to 156 inclusive and R.174(a)(b). Ground 5. not determining that the details of what was pleaded had to be extensive and can not be considered prolix if necessary to plead. R. 139(2), 149, 150. Ground 6 not determining that the Chambers judge erred when he failed to note the Respondents (Defendants) in default, for not filing a Statement of Defence in the time limit to file. Rules 115 to 123 inclusive.:
v Ground 7: not recognizing that the pleadings were substantiated by the Appellant (Plaintiff)s substantive materials filed in support of her amended claim as evidence (for all 3 parts) to validate the truth of her pleadings, can not then be considered scandalous and frivolous. Ground 8: not recognizing that her pleadings were prima facie and res ipsa loquitor and that the Chambers judge erred in striking her amended claim. Ground 9: failing to appropriate that the Respondents (Defendants) had no substantive materials filed and before the Chambers judge to support striking her claim since they never filed any new materials such as Affidavits and Exhibits. Rules: 154, 155, 156. Ground 10: not recognizing that the Chambers judge abused his power and privilege, in not consolidating this Part Three of this lawsuit with QBG. 1005 of A.D. 2002, but instead sat on the bench to independently adjudicate QBG. 1005 of A.D. 2002 when seized with a decision on this one, compromising the integrity of both and then claiming in his decision that Joyce LaPrise should be added to the other one, when clearly she belonged on this claim as noted in the substantive materials. Ground 11. failed to recognize that the Chambers judge erred in not only using the Original claim in his judgment but would have used previously filed materials by the Respondents (Defendants) that were in support of striking the original claim and should not have occurred. Ground 12. in not recognizing that in order for the Chambers judge to strike her amended claim he would need to do it for the Respondents (Defendants) in absence of a defence, that would be a grave injustice. Ground 13. not recognizing that the Chambers judge would be unable to determine of the Respondents (Defendants) acted in good faith without having new substantive materials before him to support such a claim, and furthermore without a trial, Ground 14. not recognizing that the Chambers judge was confused about which Statement of claim to strike, so struck both and admittedly indicated in his judgment that he had difficulty in determining who did what, when and if it really mattered. Ground 15. failing to recognize that the Chamber judges comment that striking this claim in its entirety was an exceptional case, since research in the last 5 years indicates that it has become the norm when dealing with self-litigants, and that such a mind- set did not provide her and the 4 grandchildren named to this action, fair and equitable access to justice, and that striking her amended claim was punitive. Ground 16: failing to provide an avenue to hear the truth of these matters by ordering a trial by jury or an independent judicial review.
vi Ground 17: not recognizing that the Chambers judge abused his power and privilege, in assigning himself to lawsuit QBG. 1005 of A.D. 2002, when seized with a decision on this lawsuit, and compromised the success of both. Ground 18: failing to recognize that the parties named to be added as proposed defendants, Joyce LaPrise and the government of Canada are deemed added and not proposed in the absence of credible arguments to the contrary and should be added. Ground 19: not determining if the Appellant (Plaintiff)s claim that Parts One to Three were reflective of continuous injury as she claimed against the Government of Canada and the Saskatchewan Government and therefore be noted as not under the Statute of Limitations pleading the Discoverability Principle. Ground 20: ignoring, as did the Chambers judge, the illegalities which occurred as pleaded in her Statement of Claim (Fresh Copy); and did further ignore the illegalities that she brought to their attention in the Appeal Argument and hereby mentioned in her Argument and Affidavit to this Application, which did unduly stress her, and was intended to dissuade her, and undermine her efforts in her pursuit for justice.

ORIGINAL TO: THE REGISTRAR
viii This form must be filed out to ensure that we do not release information which is protected. FORM 25B FORM 25B CERTIFICATE I, Arlene Lowery hereby certify that: 1. This file had portions sealed in the courts below. YES: Give details: i. The submission by the Saskatchewan Government to seal portions of the file pertaining to matters touching on adoption and protection were to be sealed, as well as the names of anyone who were not named as parties to this claim was done by an ExParte Order brought before a judge on November 07, 2005 by Mr. Darryl Brown, counsel for the Saskatchewan Government. ii. This was done after counsels substantive materials were filed and less than 2 weeks after the death of the Appellant (Plaintiff)s granddaughters death while in the care of the Minister of Social Services. iii. The original Order provided was without a filing stamp. iv. Madam Justice Gunn continued the Sealing Order to March 07, 2006, when arguments were to be heard. v. Justice F. Kovach also extended it to March 07, 2006. vi. Justice Chicoine in his decision (2008skqb115 CanLII) indicated that the sealing order should continue. vii. The Appellate Judges decision (2010SKCA109CanLII) ON PAGE 2 [2] stated: [2] While the Chambers judge erred in considering the original statement of claim and the submissions made in relation thereto, we are satisfied that he made no reversible error by striking the amended statement of claim and by dismissing the aforementioned applications. Therefore, we dismiss the Appellant's appeal and grant the Respondents their taxable costs. viii. This rendered all applications to that point of no effect and on September 09, 2010 the appellate judges agreed that the Chambers judge erred in considering the original statement of claim and the submissions made in relation thereto satisfies the submission of materials to seal any portion of this file, and for the Order to continue in the sealing of the Statement of Claim (Amended Fresh Copy) would have to have been filed new as well (as a new application to strike her claim). ix. Further, the Saskatchewan government breached their own sealing Order when they disseminated it to Joyce LaPrise by facsimile and it somehow ended-up in the materials that the Appellant (Plaintiff) received from Labour Standards, in October, 2006 under Access to Information. x. The decision 2008skqb115 was posted on the CanLII website shortly after it was filed into the Court of Queens Bench on March 12, 2006. xi. Therefore there is currently no sealing order attached to the Statement of Claim (Amended Fresh Copy). xii. The names of the 3 youngest infant children named here as plaintiffs will be protected by being blacked out.
ix xiii. any other names such as public servants who were named in the pleadings and anyone else whom the Appellant (Plaintiff) deems necessary to name in providing the public domain with the true facts of this case will not be protected. xiv. The only parties who need their identities sealed are the 3 grandchildren named as infant children plaintiffs whom the Appellant (Plaintiff) remains as their litigation guardians and the 2 infant granddaughters who died in the care of the Saskatchewan Minister of Social Services, either in foster care or by abandonment. xv. Identities to be protected are any other childrens names mentioned or their parents names. xvi. names of vulnerable parties who would be considered disabled or under disability or vulnerable would have their names protected. xvii. Doctors reports done by the Respondents (Defendants) will be used in that they were used as supporting documents to Part Two of her Statement of Claim (Amended Fresh Copy) and that as their legal guardian and litigation guardian, she deems it necessary to share with the public domain for the true facts to be known and justice to be served. xviii. Any matters pertaining to the personal experiences with the Respondents (Defendants) is reported as fact, when so disclosed. xix. Counsel for the Respondents (Defendants) should not be allowed to file any new evidence or a new application to seal her Statement of Claim (Amended Fresh Copy) as time has expired for them to do so, and to do so would once again infringe on the rights to fair and equitable justice for the Appellant (Plaintiff) herself and for the 4 infant children named as plaintiffs (and deemed no longer proposed) and for the death of the first of the 2 infant granddaughters who died. 2. NO there is not a ban on the publication of evidence, or the names or identity of a party or a witness with the exceptions of those mentioned above. 3. NO there is no confidential information on the file that should not be accessible to the public by virtue of specific legislation that have not been mentioned above. It is the Appellant (Plaintiff)s position and the position of Charlene Dobson that full details of what happened to her and her 3 siblings, while not in the care of the Minister of Social Services and while in his care, should be shared with the public domain so that her rights and the rights of her siblings can be attended to and justice supported by the UN Rights of the Child: Article 12. [2.] For this purpose, the child shall in particular be provided the opportunity to be heard in any judicial and administrative proceedings affecting the child, either directly, or through a representative or an appropriate body, in a manner consistent with the procedural rules of national law. Article 13 1. The child shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of the child's choice.
x i. The need for the Appellant (Plainiff) and Charlene Dobsons rights and her need to share what happened as true facts outweighs the need to seal or ban this material. Sealing or banning any portions of this file, other than what the Appellant has determined in the materials above would only serve in the interests of the Respondents (Defendants); and the interests of these 4 infant children as plaintiffs and their 2 deceased infant sisters, far outweighs their interests. ii. The matters pertaining to Charlene Dobsons request to have her status upgraded as a Minor to as of full age (an adult), and to become a joinder with her grandmother, the Appellant (Plaintiff), in this action, is put forth by Charlene Dobson in a letter sealed for the Registrar. iii. Charlene Dobsons sworn affidavit in support of being added is attached to the Appendix of this Argument.

xi Exhibit to Affidavit APPLICATION to take leave to Appeal PART ONE: i. discovery of harm from an adoption as continuous injury resulting from a pre-adoption report that was fabricated and intended to mislead. ii. Discovery during the course of this lawsuit that the Social worker who fabricated the pre-adoption report or who was responsible for its presentation as such did provide to the Appellant (Plaintiff) not a copy of the original preadoption report but case notes that supposedly had been written in 1971 and 1972, but were obviously tampered with, marginal notes and stating certain matters that were untrue and intended to mislead by giving a false impression of the Appellant (Plaintiff). THESE ACTS ARE CRIMINAL therefore the question is does this party to the lawsuit have immunity and if so is the Attorney Generals for both Governments named responsible? * Mr. Brown counsel for the Crown (Saskatchewan Government Civil Law) told the Appellant (Plaintiff) in October, 2005, when he knew she planned to amend her claim that the names of all parties had to be removed from her lawsuit as they had immunity, which led to her simply directing this lawsuit to the Attorney Generals. * If this advise (which she did not seek after) was intended to protect these public servants but undermined her ability to be successful with this lawsuit, then Mr. Darryl Brown must be held responsible for misleading and whatever sections of the criminal code apply.
PART TWO: i. THE INTEGRATED SEXUAL ABUSE TEAM can liability exist for them individually and collectively when they report one anothers findings, observations and opinions that can prove injurious to the protection of a child. Example: The Protection Worker or Dr. E. Ivanochko (reg.psychologist), on contract to do a psychological assessment with Child & Youth Mental Health Services, or Constable Ferguson or anyone else on that team accessories to the libelous and injurious remarks documented in Dr. Leibels medical report on Lyle. ii. Who is responsible for not securing evidence or destroying evidence or making false statements concerning photographs of the injuries on Charlene Dobson and Jonathan Dobson were taken, not once but twice with Charlene Dobson and now they do not exist? The photographs are documented in Dr. Normans medical reports on them but now they no longer exist or never did exist. iii. Who is responsible for the breakdown in the medical examinations: Dr. Ruthnum coming late to the Regina General Hospital does not properly examine Charlene Dobson and then over 3 weeks later [after the Appellant (Plaintiff) reports her findings of the injuries on Charlene and Jonathans bodies] do members of this team finally decide to examine the children. iv. Who is responsible for the gross negligence in not having the children seen within 48 hours of Appellant (Plaintiff) reporting these injuries? (as is the mandate and policy for Regina Childrens Justice? Exhibit to Affidavit APPLICATION
xii to take leave to Appeal v. Excuses provided by Charlene Thurbide, Protection Worker are totally inexcusable is she solely responsible?. vi. Who is responsible for framing the Appellant (Plaintiff) and her husband in having the time-line for when the injuries occurred to them, smack dab in the middle of these 3 weeks? vii. Who is responsible for telling the Crown Prosecutor(s) that there was nothing to the claims made by the grandmother and reported on the Fiat of Justice McIntyre? viii. Was their collusion amongst them to not have to deal with a messy and difficult case. ix. Who is held responsible for the wrongful death of autumn Starr, the foster mother for sleeping her prone and not administering her Phenobarbital medication because she ran out of it, whereby she had a seizure face down and suffocated? Is the Crown responsible for putting another baby with this foster mother who had a baby die before ours, and who died of inhalation of its vomit? x. Someone is responsible, either severly or collectively and Charlene Dobson and Arlene Lowery (nee Dobson) requests that this Honourable Court determines from the evidence before them, - just who is responsible? xi. Who is responsible for allowing 2 other younger siblings of Charlene and Jonathan be in the care of their mother when a No Contact Order existed from Justice Dickson (Feb./1998)? xii. when Charlene told the AUTHORITIES what happened to her and how her mommy hurt her and her brother,[there being corroborating physical evidence on both], who is responsible? xiii. Who is responsible for the abuse of the 2 younger children named here in this action, when they were placed with their mother?
PART THREE: i. Who was responsible for 2 unlawful evictions on the Appellant (Plaintiff) from her place of work- the police, the Crown, Joyce LaPrise or the Directors of the organization THE ANCHORAGE COUNSELLING & REHABILITATION SERVICES INC. ii. Who is responsible for an unlawful dismissal from her place of employment with no notice or severance pay? iii. Who is responsible for destroying all of the organizations records? iv.
