MALFEASANCE

From Law.com Dictionary

Intentionally doing something either legally or morally wrong which one had no right to do. It always involves dishonesty, illegality or knowingly exceeding authority for improper reasons. Malfeasance is distinguished from "misfeasance," which is committing a wrong or error by mistake, negligence or inadvertence, but not by intentional wrongdoing.

Example: a city manager putting his indigent cousin on the city payroll at a wage the manager knows is above that allowed and/or letting him file false time cards is malfeasance; putting his able cousin on the payroll which, unknown to him, is a violation of an anti-nepotism statute is misfeasance. This distinction can apply to corporate officers, public officials, trustees and others cloaked with responsibility.

Malfeasance in Public Office

Following is an example of malfeasance within the court system.

An email was sent on Wednesday, March 19, 2008, to reporter journalist Joey Thompson of the Province regarding an article she wrote about a realtor, by the name of Noella Neale:

Hello Ms. Joey Thompson,

I refer to your article of March 03, 2008, for which I attach a copy, entitled, “Realtor looses 150,000 Aeroplan miles “A new meaning of loyalty is not necessarily a better one”. Your article was supposed to be about a person who has had a wrong done to them by a corporation.

Noella Neale looses points

In your first paragraph, you begin by giving credibility to Noella Neale, as having a solid reputation as a Realtor in the lower mainland. You further referred to Noella Neale as being “an enterprising real estate agent”.

I would like to elaborate further regarding Noella Neale, and how “enterprising” she really is or not as a Realtor however I have a gag order against me dated December 11, 07, for which I attach a copy, that stipulates, inter alia, I cannot “publish any information already obtained by myself by means of past investigation into the private affairs of Noella Neale or the purchasers”.

Justice Grant Burnyeat, who before he was appointed in 1996 to the bench, was the leading mortgage foreclosure in all of British Columbia and possibly all of Canada, and is reputed to have single-handedly foreclosed more than 40 percent of all the mortgage foreclosures in British Columbia, did not specify what he meant by “Private affairs” and by failing to particularize his directions, he has trampled not only on my rights to freedom of speech but he has also trampled on anyone who comes across his order to report on Noella Neale’s dealings, which is of public interest.

Further, Justice Burnyeat, who knew or must have known that the straw buyers were not able to raise the funds to buy my property, prior to my giving up possession of my home at 312-450 Bromley Street, in Coquitlam, ordered that myself and others who come across his Order, are not allowed to contact them.

The intention of the judge’s order was also to make sure that I would not contact the solicitor of the buyers because I was not supposed to know who the solicitor was, when in fact, on Nov. 26, 07, the lawyer for the alleged buyers, was in the courtroom with his research assistance, which appears to have been the alias of alleged purchaser, Mariana Oviendo Ovando, when Justice Bernard approved the sale of my property for $225,000.00, less than a qualified offer of $242,000.00. --- Justice Bernard and lawyer Keith Oliver, come from the same class of 1981 of the law faculty at UBC. There is a new meaning as to what are friends for.

Subsequently, I and others, who have evidence of Noella Neale as being “an enterprising real estate agent” are restrained to publish any information obtained through the land title office and other public bodies.

This is to say that myself and others have been censored and deprived from a very fundamental principle in law to publish matters of public interest, which would expose a racket that involves Noella Neale, an appraiser, two solicitors, the Land Title Office, the BC Law Society, CIBC, -- the bank Justice Burnyeat represented when he was with Davis and Co. and the provincial government.

When Justice Grant Burnyeat issued his order, he knew or must have known that he was facilitating a fraud.

In effect, his order shows to be a leading example of innovative crime developed right here in the lower mainland of Vancouver, British Columbia. It is in the public interest that such orders are never issued again for very obvious reasons.

Keep in mind Joey that my property ordered sold by the court was not a foreclosure but the Realtor and the lawyers treated it as if it was.

You may want to seriously consider Joey, if you are not entangled with Ms. Noella Neale in any way, to really find out how exceptional Noella Neale is as a Realtor by doing some journalist investigation, do the research and ask the serious questions, as I have done and you should obtain the same evidence that I have gathered through public bodies.

Law enforcement in the US especially, should be interested in knowing exactly how industry insiders professionals in British Columbia are contributing to what is being witnessed in the USA. Those like Noella Neale, who is touted by yourself as having a great reputation as a Realtor, is one of those individuals.
