Patricia Felske, Ontario Provincial Police, sealed, findings
November 2, 1984: Patricia Felske, who has visited the Ontario Provincial Police on a regular basis to review seized Scientology materials and ensure that privileged documents are sealed, prepares a brief summary of her findings, entitled "Time Track Re: Solicitor and Client Privileged Documents". She sends the document to Clayton Ruby, Charles Campbell, Morris Manning and Diane Martin, another of Scientology's lawyers. In it she concludes that "[t]here was no evidence to support any allegation that the sealed envelopes had been tampered with by the OPP". This is significant, because Scientology brought contempt charges against government prosecutor Casey Hill, but (as the court found), "From the contents of the Felske Memorandum...it is evident that prior to the start of the contempt hearing, Scientology was well aware that no sealed envelopes had been opened. Yet, it still proceeded with a contempt prosecution against Casey Hill."
