Brian Perry has been told by Judge Wayne Gorman that he has run out of adjournments in his ongoing court case.

Perry, 53, now has five criminal charges against him after two were withdrawn by Crown attorney Jennifer Colford during Perry’s appearance in provincial court in Corner Brook Tuesday morning.

The charges include three counts of making harassing phone calls, one of making indecent phone calls and one count of breaching a probation order. The allegations are that Perry made calls to the Corner Brook offices of Premier Danny Williams and Finance Minister Tom Marshall, who are the legislative members for Humber West and Humber East respectively.

The charges dropped Tuesday, which included one of making harassing phone calls and one breach of probation, were in relation to calls allegedly made to the office of Terry Loder, the legislature member for Bay of Islands.

Perry, who has yet to retain legal counsel, has asked for postponements of the case against him during his last several court appearances. Tuesday, Perry was represented by legal aid lawyer Lynn Cole, who informed Gorman Perry’s latest request for his matters to be set over were because he has an appointment to see a specialist concerning a medical issue.

The case was set over until Jan. 19, but Gorman told Perry he cannot continue returning to court seeking postponements indefinitely. He expected Perry to be able to indicate how he’d like the matters to proceed by his next appearance.

“This is the end of the adjournments,” said the judge.

Gorman also reminded Perry that the charges against him are serious and, if he decides not to seek a lawyer, he could find himself one day dealing with the court proceedings on his own.

Perry has been trying to draw attention to his personal plight for years. His contention is that liquor sold without proper licences forced his business — the Village Lounge in Meadows — out of business in the 1990s.

As he left court, Perry told Gorman the delays in the current court proceedings were nothing compared to his “15-year ordeal.”
