@Bb it’s a fair point, I was thinking to send it to him also but wanted to hold off in case there are some politics between the firms. Once it goes to Cine we can see if anything comes through and if I don’t hear anything after a couple of days I’ll pull the trigger

@patience thanks for the kind words! Let’s hope it brings success in some form or another

Thanks RS2002 you're welcome - that's correct we do not need to suggest wrong doing has occurred or present evidence of criminal activity merely that this judge should not have presided over this case where she is related to a person who evidently has close ties with senior Cineplex officials .

As you say the ball is now in their court - my philosophy in life is to at least try and see what happens

No worries BB, I am guessing Cine will be clocking off now anyway but the Canadian lawyers will be just starting work with the time difference. Definetly better to do this on a PC then phone.

Enjoy the film, looking forward to Top Gun Maverick myself when it arrives!

Thats it folks - I have now emailed the document to both Mr Steep and Mr D'Souza it has gone to their personal work emails

Between this and Blue Buxton sending to Cine IR Lets see what happens

I typed this up on the fly between work meetings so quite a few autocorrect errors in there so please proof before you send!

Also in my version I have the photos attached in the email - you can find them in the link you posted not essential but its a nice touch

Also you can keep in the reference to the good causes link - it is a PDF - to find it you need to googl the following in speech marks "Phyllis Yaffe" and "David Mirvish" - you need to include the and to get the correct search result

If I hear anything from Cine lawyers will of course let the board know whats going on!

This I believe will have consitituted sufficient risk of potential bias in decision making and a clear conflict of interest in presiding over the Cineworld vs Cineplex case.
I hope you find this information useful and encourage you to persue this as a means to achieving justice in this case.

Evidence of Close connection with Cineplex Board
Mr David Mirvish has close ties with members of the Cineplex Board and is subsidiary as evidenced by the following
Here is a photo of Mr David Mirvish in close company with Phyllis Yaffe described as the gala leadership She is a prominent media executive and is the Chair of Cineplex Board of directors

https://www.patrickmcmullan.com/photo/3454688

Further to this Mr David Mirvish was placed at Ms Phyllis Yaffe’s home in 2019 this article as a close gathering before a gala event that Mr David Mirvish co-hosted.
https://www.lgontario.ca/en/2020/05/26/new-york-may-2019/
Here is an extract of this article
“The night before the gala, the consul general of Canada, Phyllis Yaffe, hosted a reception at her official residence in Manhattan. Gala co-chairs David Mirvish, the renowned Toronto theatre producer and art collector, and Agnes Gund, American philanthropist and president emerita of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) were in attendance, and the evening offered an opportunity to discuss the value of the arts and the future of arts funding with those who are deeply invested in these issues on both sides of the border, including leaders in the arts, business, and public life.”
David Mirvish is clearly within a privileged position with access to the board chair and his brother in law (and by virtue his wife Judge Conway) are associated.
Conclusion: Mr Mirvish and Ms Yaffe share close bonds on a social level as well as in the efforts to support causes which they are both connected with
In addition the 2016 article below cites a dinner with “34 friends” hosted by a Mr Salah Bachir. Mr Bachir was until recently a former president of Cineplex Media, a subsidiary of Cineplex
“The ever-generous Bachir, last week, hosted a thank-you dinner party for 34 friends and acquaintances who have helped him over the years.”
https://www.everythingzoomer.com/health/2016/07/08/salah-bachir-says-thank-friends/
We now conclude that Mr Mirvish (who’s brother in law is married to Justice Conway) has direct personal links with yet another high ranking senior personnel within the Cineplex family.
This article from January 2022 directly links Mr Salah Bachir with CEO Ellis Jacob in his comment about Mr Bachir’s departure from Cineplex after 16 years.
https://piano.playbackonline.ca/2022/01/13/salah-bachir-leaves-cineplex-media/
In addition this I attached a document that shows causes supported by both David Mirvish, Phyllis Yaffe, Salah Bachir and Cineplex all named. They are supporting the same clauses and and from the evidence I have presented have close links that go back many years to the present day being active in each other professional and social lives. This is beyond just moving in the same social circles.
What I take from this is that there is a clear familial link that traces Judge Conway to the upper senior management team within Cineplex.

Dear

I am writing to share information that I have gleaned regarding Justice Barbara Conway which I believe highlights a clear and unequivocal conflict of interest and potential bias relating the judgement of Cineworld vs Cineplex.
I am presenting to you this information in good faith that you may consider what implication this has on the recent judgement that was made by Justice Conway and scope to conclude that this judge should never have presided over this case.
The information contained herein has also been communicated to the Cineworld investor relations team as a way of highlighting these findings to Mr Mook Gredinger and the Board of Directors for Cineworld.
In the event you are already aware of the relationships I have highlighted in this communication I would be grateful for your response and acknowledgement that these connections were already known to you and your team and that they would have posed no barrier to Justice Conway being appointed as a judge in this case. Personally I find that very hard to believe but I am happy to be corrected on this.

Context.
Justice Barbara Conway is married to Mr Richard Conway, a lawyer. They are pictured together here at the Council for Canadian American Relations gala event in 2017

Justice Conway was also pictured at the same event with Audrey Mirvish who is the sister of Mr Richard Conway as evidenced by their fathers obituary filing below.
https://www.legacy.com/amp/obituaries/theglobeandmail/189952691


Audrey Mirvish is married to a Mr David Mirvish, a well established Toronto based theatre and entertainment business leader with lobbyist involvement
Mr Richard Conway is quoted in the article below as the brother in law of Mr David Mirvish and is clearly activity in the dealings Mr Mirvish has as he speaking about his work in this article i.e. they are not just aware of each other by family relations but are actively involved in each others lives.
Here is a quote from that article:
“He only agreed to meet with me for this article because he wants to promote his Gehry project, and he had strict ¬conditions: he wouldn’t talk about his family or his personal life, just business. At one meeting, he brought along his brother-in-law, Richard Conway, a retired lawyer who rattled off a list of subjects they didn’t want me to broach, including Mirvish’s falling-out with the developer Harry Stinson, who helped build the One King West condo-hotel. I was surprised he relied on Conway to intimidate me—I’ve heard many stories over the years of how Mirvish himself calls up editors to complain about bad reviews of his shows and articles he dislikes, ¬occasionally enacting vengeance by pulling his substantial advertising dollars.”
https://torontolife.com/city/david-mirvish-on-the-edge/
Conclusion – Mr Mirvish has a familial link with Justice Conway through her marriage to Mr Richard Conway who is clearly involved on a social and professional level.

Hi BB I will copy and paste what I send to lawyers on the board and if you can send to Scott

I'm compiling it now in a coherent narrative to send to the lawyers

Hussart no one is accussing anyone of dishonesty. It is the potential for bias based on a conflict of interest. If that conflict was declared and accepted then so be it. It is the risk of a conflict arising which is why a judge would excuse themselves.

Ok final nail in the coffin coming up and it’s a bloody big one

Remember this all started with Phyills Yaffe

The article below details a private “pre gala meeting” hosted by Phyllis’s (chair of cineplex board) attended by David Mirvish

This took place at her home before the big gala event

So there we have it - A man with direct links to top Cineplex board who is married to the sister of Richard Conway who acts as a spokesperson in his affairs and is married to Judge Barbara Conway

Thanks mountainous - so between you and bb covering off the communications with Cine I will contact the Cine lawyers with our dossier of information - if this is already know and she made a declaration of conflict that was accepted then so be it but at least we have done our bit to highlight what looks very inappropriate to say the least

Ok I think I have now established the link

[deep breath]

The link below shows an obituary for a David Hilliard Conway. He was survived by Audrey Conway ( who became Mirvish) and Richard Conway ( who married Barbara and she took his name)

So now we have established the clear family link between a powerful media and entertainment mogul and lobbyist with social links with Cineplex execs and a judge who was responsible for the judgement against Cineworld

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.legacy.com/amp/obituaries/theglobeandmail/189952691

@sammy Thanks for confirming that he is indeed her husband - doesn’t pass the sniff test does it

@blue Buxton , the things about her obvious conflict of interest I posted just now should go in

That article truth is water I think muddies the waters as it could be dismissed as a disgruntled person on the losing side of a case

What cannot be denied is a clear family link between Barbara and those with social and possibly even business ties with Cineplex executives

And here it is folks the crowning glory

Our good friend Salah bachir mentioned in this 2022 article in which none other the ELLIS JACOB CEO OF CINEPLEX was thanked for 16 years service

So let’s put this together a high profile Exec for Cineplex who is close friends with David Mirvish and who’s brother in law is none other then Richard Conway the husband of Barbara Conway

https://piano.playbackonline.ca/2022/01/13/salah-bachir-leaves-cineplex-media/

It gets even better

Barbara is pictured here with Richard Conway - I am assuming they are married with the same name?

https://www.patrickmcmullan.com/events/5b3ef4dd9f92906676444a8b/

Richard Conway is mentioned in this article as lawyer and Brother in law to the aforementioned David Mirvis - yes that’s same theatre production moguls who has direct social links with past members of the Cineplex subsidiary

https://torontolife.com/city/david-mirvish-on-the-edge/

Some more to add

In that link Barbara was pictured with a woman named Audrey Mirvish. She is the wife of David Mirvish who is a well known owner of a theatre production company.

He is all over the internet, after a bit of Googling I managed to find this article describing a dinner for “34 friends” hosted by Salah Bachir, the ex president of Cineplex Media , a subsidiary of Cinepkex

https://www.everythingzoomer.com/health/2016/07/08/salah-bachir-says-thank-friends/

I am sure with further digging more could be unearthed

In my view This further suggests she has links to this world and should therefore not have been considered impartial to judge on this case
