Davis v. Yoshida
Davis v Yoshida, [1931] 3 WWR 703
Davis appealed a decision made in Vancouver’s Small Debts Court dismissing an application
to appoint a receiver. The appellant and respondent both sought a decision regarding
the jurisdiction of the stipendiary magistrate who delivered that judgement. Justice
W.A. Macdonald determined that it was not possible to “order or direct the magistrate
to appoint a receiver,” and determined there would be “no costs to either party,”
dismissing the appeal. (706) F. Donnenworth stood for the plaintiff, N.C. Levin for
the defendant.

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.
