JUSTICE ON TRIAL
A civil lawsuit, public archive, and national movement
to restore the rule of law in Canada
Our Story
Who We Are
We are Mark and Izabelle Justice—an ordinary Canadian couple who believed in fairness, public service, and the promise of democratic accountability. Before any charges were laid, before we were entangled in proceedings that redefined who we were, we were professionals, advocates, and community members who spoke out when we saw misconduct harming the public interest.
We believed in the system. We trusted its rules. We thought telling the truth would lead to change—not retaliation.
The Spark: Why it Began
Our story began the moment we spoke out.
We raised public concerns about misconduct within law enforcement and prosecutorial offices in Ottawa. We believed Canadians had a right to know when the justice system was being misused. What followed was not reform. It was not investigation. It was not dialogue. What followed was retaliation.
The very institutions entrusted to uphold the rule of law turned against us.
The Weaponization of Justice
Over the course of five years, we were subjected to a coordinated campaign of retaliatory prosecution.
We were charged—then recharged—with criminal and quasi-criminal offences that had no legal foundation. When we challenged those charges under the Charter, prosecutors withheld disclosure, misled the court, and undermined our right to a fair trial.
Evidence that proved our innocence was buried.
Procedural safeguards were ignored.
Prosecutors were rotated to avoid accountability.
Judicial interventions were delayed, dismissed, or denied.
Each act compounded the last. The prosecutions became a tool—not to serve justice, but to punish criticism and silence dissent.
What We Endured
We endured three separate sets of criminal charges—all ultimately dismissed or stayed.
We brought multiple Charter applications, challenged prosecutorial bias, exposed abuse of process, and faced a mistrial.
We encountered deliberate Crown obstruction, the suppression of exculpatory evidence, and an unrelenting campaign to wear us down.
We were detained. Surveilled. Discredited. Isolated.
For five years, we were forced to live inside a justice system that had turned against us
—not because we broke the law, but because we demanded it be followed.
Why This Matters to Canada
This is not just our story.
It reveals how easily the machinery of prosecution can be turned inward—against civilians, whistleblowers, and public critics. It exposes the institutional impunity that protects misconduct and punishes those who call it out.
If it could happen to us, it can happen to anyone. And without systemic reform, it will happen again.
The Lawsuit
In April 2025, we filed a 236-page Statement of Claim in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice: Justice et al v. Ottawa Police Services Board et al.
The lawsuit names multiple police officers, senior Crown prosecutors, the Attorney General of Ontario, and His Majesty the King in Right of Ontario (the “Crown”).
It alleges:
● Negligent investigation
● Malicious prosecution
● Arbitrary detention
● Misfeasance in public office
● Prosecutorial misconduct
● Suppression of exculpatory evidence
● Procedural and evidentiary manipulation
● Abuse of process (including prosecutorial abuse of process)
● Conspiracy between police and Crown
● Retaliation against whistleblowers and public critics
● Cruel and unusual treatment
● Abuse of state power for retaliatory purposes
● Charter violations under sections 2(b), 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 15
We also filed a motion under section 17(2) of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act, 2019—a legal requirement for any plaintiff seeking damages against the Crown for prosecutorial misconduct.
From Retaliation to Reform
We are not just suing.
We are calling for national reform.
We have issued Weaponized Justice: A National Call to End Retaliatory Prosecutions and Systemic Abuse in Canada’s Legal System—a sweeping platform for federal and provincial change.
Our story is no longer just about us. It is about the need to:
● Protect the innocent
● Rein in institutional abuse
● Hold prosecutors accountable
● Defend the open court principle
● Ensure that no one is ever punished for telling the truth
This Is Our Story. This Is Canada’s Moment.
This website is our public archive.
It contains every page of the case, every motion, every filing, and every call for change. It exists so that no one can say they didn’t know. So that no one can say it was an isolated incident.
If you’ve ever doubted the justice system
If you’ve ever felt the law was being used to silence rather than protect—
If you believe Canada can do better—
Then this is your story too.
