HI Onus777
Let me see if I understand this situation
1. You are in Canada
2. The Police responded to an allegation and detained your partner, charging him with assault
3. Your partner is still in custody
4. You have both attended the initial hearing (was any plea made, did you create "joinder" with the Strawman in either case?)
5. You have made it clear that you do not wish the case to proceed (you are the main witness for the prosecution)
6. the Police/Prosecutor have decided to continue and are calling you as a witness against your partner and against your will
7. The summons is for sometime near the end of the month
More or less correct so far?
First, the really good news - Canada is WAY ahead of the UK/elsewhere in Freeman matters and you have a couple of real experts in CA that can help - look up Rob: Menard and Mary-Elizabeth: Croft - both have experience in Canadian "courts" and Rob has been known to help others in similar situations (hope I'm not misrepresenting him here)
As was stated earlier, assault is a common law offence - that means the police have to have either witnessed it or have a written complaint - did you sign anything to say it happened and what the consequences were? If not, if they are only reporting what you "said" at the time, that is hearsay.
You have done well to retain your rights and deny their corporate ability to rule over you, but, as others say, there is much more that you could do and probably too much to learn in a week.
If it were me, I might start with denying joinder to the strawman - i.e. when MR JOHN DOE is called, your partner might wish to say that he is "here to discuss that matter" (without saying he IS MR JOHN DOE) as the authorised legal representative of the party concerned. If he does not admit to BEING MR JOHN DOE, they cannot hold him as surety. Similarly, both your summons and his are for the strawman - you could write to the court in advance explaining that this is not YOU, the Woman - see thinkfree.ca and worldfreemansociety.org for examples of how others have done this.
The plea is important. The only plea that you can honourably make is guilty - however you can enter no plea at the present time, in which case the Judge will often try to enter a plea for you - he CANNOT practice law from the bench and should be reminded of this fact! Alternatively, if you have time to astablish the FACTS in an affidavit (an unrebutted affidavit stands a FACT in a court of law) you could submit an affidavit to the court explaining what you need them to take notice of and then plead guilty to the facts.
As the matter is a common law one, Magna Carta 1215 says you are entitled to a jury - otherwise it is a statute De Facto Court with no standing in Common Law matters. Magna Carta 1215 still applies in Canada.
If all else fails, and they ram something down the throat of your partner, he can always do what Mary-Elizabeth: Croft did - when asked if she had anything to say before sentencing, she said "Yes, I do not accept the sentence". They tried to sentence her to 12 months, then 6 months and she just kept repeating "I do not accept the sentence"! They could only try that 3 times, then they had to dismiss the case - check out here e-book - it's free and only takes a few hours to read.
Sorry that this is all a bit garbled, but I am aware that time is against you and am thinking out loud - I'm sure others at WFS/thinkfree can help you better than I, as this is, obviously only my opinion and I'm not even Canadian!, let alone a lawyer (Ugghhhh!)
Remember, a summons is only an invitation to attend, and you cannot be forced to contract with ANYONE against your will.
On a slightly lighter note, a couple of other things people have said in court
Clerk of the court: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
Defendant: No. If I knew the whole truth, my name would be in that book, and not my hand upon it!
(paraphrasing from Rob: Menard again I believe)
Clerk of the Court: Is this your date of birth?
Defendant: I don't know, I wasn't counting at the time!
Clerk of the Court/Judge: Please stand
Defendant: I will stand, your honour, on condition that the court take judicial notice that, in doing so, I enter into no contract with You, the Court or any other party without my express written consent and that I waive none of, and retain all of my rights, including, but not limited to those guaranteed by the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948.
The last example says it all - keep your rights, refuse joinder and always accept their offer........on YOUR conditions, such as (as Veronica says) payment of your bill - in ADVANCE!
Good luck and I hope you find the help you seek
