Servus Credit Union Ltd. (plaintiff) v. Alfred Philip Parlee and Clara Vivian Parlee (defendants)

(1504 00261; 2015 ABQB 700)

Indexed As: Servus Credit Union Ltd. v. Parlee

Alberta Court of Queen's Bench

Judicial District of Grande Prairie

Schlosser, Master

November 5, 2015.

Summary:

Alfred and Clara Parlee's property was foreclosed upon by court order. The Parlees, represented by Alfred Parlee, sought to, inter alia, nullify the foreclosure order, relying on an Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument ("OPCA").

A Master of the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench dismissed the application. The court divided the application into two parts: (1) a Quo Warranto application to declare the foreclosure as null and void because it was made without jurisdiction; and (2) an application to reverse the foreclosure and return possession of the Parlee Lands to the Parlees because they had (over)satisfied the outstanding mortgage debt with a $1 million "PRIVATE INDEMNITY BOND - NON-NEGOTIABLE", or via other means in the July 20, 2015 Affidavit documents. The court rejected all the OPCA arguments. Further, the court held that Parlee could not represent his wife.
