Young v Uchiyama
Young v Uchiyama, [1933] 47 BCR 155
The plaintiff was told to pay $2,417.95 by Chief Justice Macdonald shortly after the
judgement in R v Takagashi was rendered, as costs incurred by Kanetaro Takagishi as
he opposed the libel charge mounted against him.The defendant insisted that the costs
listed were “proper and lawful costs” he incurred during the criminal case. (157)
It was determined that the Court had the power to order the private prosecutor to
cover these expenses. Judge Fisher decided in the plaintiff’s favor, ordering the
sum indicated with costs.

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.
