Ontario Claim CV-26-00002581-0000: Notice of Pending Litigation

Andrew McGregor, a human rights consultant with McGregor Clan Inventions Inc. in Erin, Ontario, has issued a public notice of a pending civil claim against the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), two named officers, the OPP Police Services Board and the Attorney General of Ontario. The Statement of Claim was issued on April 1, 2026 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice at Brampton under Court File No. CV-26-00002581-0000. The notice says the matters in it are allegations in a filed claim that has not yet been determined by the court.

What the Claim Alleges

According to the notice, the plaintiff attended an address in Caledon, Ontario on November 25, 2023, voluntarily and at the request of the OPP, in connection with a theft report he had filed himself. It alleges that he cooperated and produced identification, including a valid Possession and Acquisition Licence, but was nonetheless arrested, charged with trespassing and mischief, and detained for about 24 hours. It further alleges that property held in trust, including a lawfully held rifle, magazines and ammunition, was searched for, seized and taken.

The claim alleges the arrest was made without reasonable and probable grounds and without a reasonable investigation. It is advanced for false arrest, false imprisonment, unlawful detention, unlawful search and seizure, conversion, negligence and misfeasance in public office, together with alleged breaches of rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

What Has Happened Since

The notice says that on April 4, 2024, in the Ontario Court of Justice at Orangeville, every charge against the plaintiff was withdrawn and the Crown abandoned its application for a firearms prohibition order. It says the Crown confirmed on the record that the seized property was not being sought for forfeiture and was expected to be released, and that the property has not been returned.

The notice says the Attorney General of Ontario was sent the full particulars on January 7, 2026, followed by a sworn affidavit on February 25, 2026, and that the Statement of Claim was served on the OPP on May 8, 2026. According to the notice, the time to deliver a Statement of Defence expired on May 28, 2026, no defendant has delivered one, and proceedings to note the defendants in default and to move for default judgment are underway.

Rights Engaged and the Public Record

The notice says the claim engages sections 7 to 11 of the Charter and damages under section 24(1), as well as section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, the Canadian Bill of Rights, the Ontario Human Rights Code and international declarations on human rights and Indigenous rights. It also says that at a court appearance on November 25, 2024, Justice Donald McLeod placed on the public record the trauma the plaintiff has been through, and noted that anything the authorities wished to do about it could be placed on a civil record. The notice describes this claim as that civil record.
