MEDIA ADVISORY: $13M Federal Court Claim (T-2559-26) Filed Against Crown Over 2,555-Day RCMP Database Error and False Imprisonment
To the Assignment Desk / Investigative Editorial Team,
Please find attached the official, date-stamped Statement of Claim filed in the Federal Court of Canada (Court File No. T-2559-26).
This civil action seeks $13,000,000.00 in total damages against the Defendant, His Majesty the King (represented by the Attorney General of Canada), arising from systemic operational negligence, Charter breaches, and misfeasance in public office by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Case Summary
- The Systemic Error: In October 2016, formal criminal charges (Indecent Act and Assault) against the Plaintiff, Marie-Soleil Seshat Landry (also legally identified as Jean-Yves Landry), were completely withdrawn in the Provincial Court of New Brunswick. Despite this clear judicial termination, RCMP agents recorded and maintained these withdrawn charges as active, operational "Guilty" convictions within the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and the Police Reporting and Organization System (PROS) databases.
- The Consequences: This fabricated criminal history record was actively maintained for approximately 2,555 days. It was subsequently relied upon by the RCMP and Crown prosecution to aggressively oppose judicial interim release (bail) in subsequent matters, directly resulting in approximately 1,000 days of false imprisonment and unlawful remand.
- Coerced Pleas: Under the severe psychological and physical duress of this unlawful detention, the Plaintiff was coerced into entering guilty pleas for secondary offenses simply to secure physical liberty from indefinite remand.
- Delayed Correction & Institutional Denial: The database errors were not corrected by the RCMP until May 2023 and July 2025. Subsequent administrative reviews by the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC) and the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) admitted the database error occurred but unreasonably concluded it resulted in "no repercussions".
Legal Framework & Relief Sought
The Statement of Claim outlines clear causes of action:
- Breach of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: Direct violations of Section 7 (Right to Liberty and Security of the Person) and Section 11(d) (Right to be Presumed Innocent).
- Misfeasance in Public Office: Bad-faith, reckless indifference to data integrity and the deliberate introduction of falsified records in open court.
- Negligence: Structural failure of the operational duty of care owed to the public to maintain accurate, verified, and timely criminal records data.
The Plaintiff seeks $10,000,000.00 in General Damages, $2,000,000.00 in Aggravated Damages, and $1,000,000.00 in Punitive Damages to deter future state database misconduct and systemic institutional minimization.
