We think Barbara Romaine is part of the judicial mafia that operates in Canada and we will explain why and you can make up your own mind.
When Ms. Gibbs succeeded in her law lawsuit in the Alberta Court of Queens Bench, the Judge, Ms. Adele Kent, should have ordered the other side to pay the legal costs. This is the usual practice in the law courts. However, for some mysterious and unexplained reason, Judge Kent, ordered Ms. Gibbs, the winner of the lawsuit, to pay the costs of the loser. Was Justice Adele Kent acting on the instructions of the "judicial mafia"?

In the province of Alberta, a litigant can appeal an order concerning legal costs under the Rules of Court for the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench, if the litigant obtains “leave” or “permission” to appeal from a different judge than the judge who made the order.
So, because she had incurred legal costs is excess of $10,000 and, under law, the other side should have been ordered to pay those costs, Ms. Gibbs made application to the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench to obtain permission to appeal Justice Kent's order respecting costs.
When Ms. Gibbs appeared in court to argue her case, the presiding judge, Ms. Barbara Romaine, not only refused to allow Ms. Gibbs permission to appeal but also displayed body language and demeanor on the bench that indicated she was hostile to Ms. Gibbs and operating under instructions from insiders.
At the time, Ms. Gibbs was unaware that Barbara Romaine had been a partner with McCarthy Tetrault prior to her being appointed to the bench and she was unawarre of the role of McCarthy Tetrault in the WaterWarCrimes.
Ms. Romaine, was also the former president of the Law Society of Alberta and was one of the first judicial appointments by Anne McLellan after she became justice minister in Jean Chretien's government.
It certainly appears that Barbara Romaine was handpicked to dismiss the application of Ms. Gibbs and, if the Federal Court permits our case to move forward, we will be able to cross examine her on this issue.
