Dr. Viliam Makis has made a number of unfounded allegations about the impact of COVID-19 vaccines
The Court of Appeal of Alberta has denied an outspoken former Alberta physician the chance to appeal a court order from earlier this year that found him in contempt.
Viliam Makis was seeking to appeal the order, which sealed certain confidential information and directed him to destroy other confidential medical information in his and his corporation’s possession.
Makis had called the costs “threats,” “extortion” and “conspiracy,” the ruling reads, which also notes he had accused Alberta Health Services and the college, along with their lawyers and a dozen judges, of engaging in criminal conduct.
“These arguments are frivolous. There is nothing unlawful about pursuing steps in civil litigation,” Slatter’s ruling states.
Slatter concurred with an earlier ruling that found Makis to be in contempt for violating an order preventing him from filing or attempting to file complaints with any police service without prior permission.
“No arguable error has been shown that would justify an appeal.”
His medical services agreement was not renewed, and the college subsequently cancelled his practice permit in 2019.
Makis later sued AHS for wrongful dismissal, but his case was dismissed and he was declared by the court to be a vexatious litigant.
