Brian Perry’s complaints about illegible disclosure information has delayed his criminal matter.

The 53-year-old man is facing seven charges, four counts of making harassing phone calls, one of making indecent phone calls and two breaches of probation.

He appeared in provincial court in Corner Brook Tuesday, after being granted time to review the file against him and determine how he would proceed. However, because he was unable to read the police officers notes within those documents, he requested a revised copy. That is currently being done and is expected to take up to another week.

When Judge Wayne Gorman asked Perry if he was free to return Nov. 17, he said no. He said he also wasn’t available the following week. When the judge asked him when he was available, Perry said in one year. That being too long of a postponement, he told the judge six months would be good. Again, too lengthy of a postponement for the judge’s liking. Eventually, he said he had no choice but to return Nov. 17.

Perry is waiting to review the disclosure to determine whether he will seek legal representation. He voiced his displeasure with continuing to come back to court to deal with this.

The phone calls in question were placed to the local offices of the three MHAs representing Corner Brook and the Bay of Islands — Premier Danny Williams, Finance Minister Tom Marshall, and Terry Loder. Office staff and the politicians are mentioned in the court information.

Perry has been contesting what he feels are injustices done to him in the 1990s for years. He claims he ceased operation of the Village Lounge in Meadows on the north shore of the Bay of Islands due to lost sales because community halls were operating without proper liquor licences.

During a court appearance in October, Perry denied Crown attorney Trina Bussey’s attempt to withdraw two of the charges against him. He said he wanted them called in court so he could find out why they were laid.
