Bingham v Shumate
Bingham v Shumate, [1912] 3 WWR 837
Bingham et al appealed the previous judgement in the Court of Appeal for British Columbia
(Bingham v Shumate (17 B.C.R. 359)), which had sustained the original trial judgement,
ruling that the defendant was not guilty of fraud, sustaining the action and reversing
the counterclaim he lodged. On this occasion, Chief Justice Fitzpatrick and Justices
Idington, Duff, Anglin, and Brodeur determined that the appeal and cross-appeal should
be dismissed, with costs. It was decided that the charges of fraud and misrepresentation
leveled at Shumate should remain dismissed, deemed to be insufficiently supported by
the evidence.

Terminology
Readers of these historical materials will encounter derogatory references to Japanese
Canadians and euphemisms used to obscure the intent and impacts of the internment
and dispossession. While these are important realities of the history, the Landscapes
of Injustice Research Collective urges users to carefully consider their own terminological
choices in writing and speaking about this topic today as we confront past injustice.
