  Court overturns Hobbs decision
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  On Tuesday, the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned a decision by Justice Ian Pitfield of the B.C. Supreme Court, suggesting there were enough questions remaining for the case to go back to trial.
  The court case began when Hobbs's family launched actions against the attending physician, Dr. John Robertson. The provincial attorney-general is also named in the suit.
  In 2004, Pitfield decided Hobbs had died April 16, 1996 as a result of bleeding but that this could have been prevented by blood transfusions. Hobbs was a Jehovah's Witness, a faith that rejects the practice of receiving blood from others, so she had signed a refusal form stating she not receive a transfusion. For Pitfield that was enough, but the court of appeal felt there was still a question of whether Hobbs would have been admitted for the surgery had she not signed the refusal form.
  "It was open to the parties to seek evidence from the hospital that it would not have admitted Ms. Hobbs if she did not sign the refusal (assuming that to be the case). No such evidence was obtained. Rather, counsel for Dr. Robertson invited Mr. Justice Pitfield, and this court, to draw the inference that but/for signing the refusal, Ms. Hobbs would not have been admitted," court of appeal
  justices Jo-Ann Prowse, Risa Levine and Allan Thackray wrote in their decision, released on Tuesday.
  Their decision now opens the door for another trial to go ahead. One of Robertson's lawyers, Peter Willcock, said both his client and the family had been looking at ways to address the dispute efficiently. "It's fair to say that neither the family nor Dr. Robertson wanted the matter to go back to trial again." The parties and their lawyers are expected to sit down to look at what should happen next, according to Willcock. "There's certainly no lack of co-operation between their families and their lawyers."
  The Times contacted the family's lawyer, Louis Zivot, but had not heard back as of press time. One of the issues the court of appeal cited in its decision was the role of the hospital over the question of getting Hobbs to sign the release form.

  my x (jw) was/is a professional musician. one time, he was to perform at a mall, or something, with a young (17) year old girl from our hall. he was councelled not to sing with her as it was inappropiate for him to be singing with a female when he was married.

  they came up with so many dumb reasons for their dumb directives.

  this double standard with the dubs infuriorates me to no end...

  my chidren were councelled NOT to participate in sports (extra curicullum ),,,,,,,,,now how did the williams sisters get away with it in their halls???

  hmmmmmmmmmm

  my mom had died on december 9, 2005. she had been loyal to that religion for 35 years.

  she had been in a nursing home for the last two years.

  some of the old ladies would come and mom would still write a letter to a "not at home" once and awhile.

  i remember a dear, dear sister passed away.....we were encouraged to attend as it would be a 'witness' to her worldly family..not because we loved her and were paying her respect

  no,,,it was for a 'witness'

  how sick is that:(

  How aliens are seizing control of Earth (Meol'gadik)

  by Franz in

  if you sit back and analyze how things are run, one thing is evident: that power on earth is in the hands of a nefarious few and they are not human.

  humans are controlled.

  unless you are a believer and follower of the most high with your eyes opened as to what's going on, then you are most likely being manipulated or controlled by them in one way or another.

  this just in on tonight's grammy's ,,,,,,

  but perhaps the loudest applause -- and certainly the most amazement -- greeted sly stone as he joined a tribute to his music in the middle of "i want to take you higher.".

  the onetime leader of sly and the family stone, who has avoided the public eye for many years, appeared with a bleached-blond mohawk haircut, not to mention a metallic greatcoat, sunglasses and a giant "sly" belt buckle.

  The onetime leader of Sly and the Family Stone, who has avoided the public eye for many years, appeared with a bleached-blond mohawk haircut, not to mention a metallic greatcoat, sunglasses and a giant "SLY" belt buckle. He played keyboards and led some of the singing, but looked uncomfortable and had disappeared by the end of the song.
  
  Despite the strange appearance (and disappearance), his performance riveted his fellow musicians. "Can you really argue with an unbelievable looking mohawk and a silver jacket?" asked Maroon 5's Adam Levine. orbi
