Fujiwara v Osawa
Fujiwara et al v Osawa, [1937] 52 BCR 388
Osawa appeals the judgement of Justice Manson in Fujiwara v Osawa ([1937] 2 DLR 133
). Alfred Bull stands for the appellant, and J.R. Nicholson for the respondents. The
appeal is dismissed by Chief Justice Martin and Justice McPhillips, but Justice McQuarrie
dissents, arguing that the “real issue” is whether or not the appellant’s vehicle
physically contacted the other automobile involved. (388) He looks over the evidence
and suggests that it did “not seem possible” that the two cars struck each other.
(391) He recommended allowing the appeal and dismissing the action.

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.
