Young v Uchiyama (BCAC)
Young v Uchiyama, [1933] 48 BCR 55
The judgement of Judge Fisher is appealed, with G.M. Sloan standing for the defendant/appellant
and C.W. Tysoe representing the plaintiff/respondent. Chief Justice Macdonald recommended
dismissing the appeal; so did Justices Martin, McPhillips, and M.A. Macdonald. It
is determined that the discharge of Takagishi on a nolle prosequi constituted a “judgement
for the defendant,” entitling the accused to “recover from the prosecutor the costs
incurred by him by reason of such indictment or information.”

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.
