Rogers Callow’s incredible 29-year tussle with the court system to regain a job he lost way back in 1985 would seem to be very near its end. Ontario Superior Court Justice Colin McKinnon has issued the ultimate “don’t come back” order to Callow by declaring him a vexatious litigant. Callow’s ill-founded odyssey began when he was fired as a social studies teacher by the West Vancouver Board of Education. His union looked at it and passed. Since then Callow, of Ottawa, has launched 20 legal proceedings at unknown expense to himself. He has been declared unwelcome by the B.C. Supreme Court and generally rebuked for his lame complaint by the Federal Court of Canada and the Supreme Court of Canada. Justice McKinnon said. “Having been rebuked by the courts and tribunals of British Columbia, the Federal Court of Canada and the Supreme Court of Canada, Mr. Callow has now taken aim at Ontario. Ontario lacks the jurisdiction to deal with his case. As a result, Mr. Callow’s litigation must be stopped. Now.”
