Updated Jan 20, 2021 at the bottom. Now includes fee waiver docs!
On January 18, 2021, Jessica Yaniv Simpson filed a lawsuit in BC Provincial Small Claims Court against the Fraser Health Authority. Yaniv alleges his personal information was breached by FHA and the Pacific Health Services Authority and he believes he is entitled to (you guessed it…) $35,000.
Actually, he filed it for $35,103, because why not?
You can tell right away Yaniv is simply going for the money. He states that FHA and PHSA would be exposed to a fine up to $1,000,000 but he’s asking for “a lot less”. In other words, “Pay me $35,000 or I’ll get the Ministry of Health involved.”
Most of the notice of claim is copypasta case law. It’s common to quote case law, so that’s not surprising. Yaniv’s claim refers to other cases where breaches of privacy or data issues have caused damages and defendants in those cases were awarded sums of money. At first glance, and I’ll ask our legal friends to review, Yaniv makes no allegations of actual damages. He’s simply asking for FHA and PHSA to be penalized – and he be the recipient of the penalty money.
It’s interesting that he did this while he was still out east recovering from GRS. This tells me Yaniv has a lawyer working for him, at least to the extent that she likely filed documents on his behalf. EDIT: See update at the end.
Yaniv’s first challenges in court will be to prove what he alleges – that FHA told him there was a breach. It’s possible they did say that, but unlikely, and the burden of proof lies with Yaniv. He has to prove FHA told him they leaked stuff. There may be some onus on FHA/PHSA to verify his info is secure, too. The fact is that Yaniv is saying things in this claim that he likely can’t prove (“they told me my data was breached”).
No where in this frivolous claim has Yaniv alleged to have undertaken the process of reviewing said personal information through BC’s Freedom of Information (FOI) process overseen by the Office of Information and Privacy Commissioner. In two years, you would think that Yaniv would have some hard ammunition to prove this ridiculous cash-grab-of-a-claim. Instead, it’s just a rant of copypasta legal arguments that cannot be supported. We’re all surprised other legal threats toward the health authorities over the years were not contested within this frivolous and poorly executed Yaniv legal endeavour.
Should you wish to support FHA in this, please refer to their whistleblower hotline. I’m sure they’d appreciate your info about Yaniv.
Yaniv…get a job, you lazy twit. Contribute something to society besides lice and CO2.
Jan 19, 2021 – Update 1: We’ve been informed that you can this online in BC now. We’re not sure if this is new or not. Also worth noting that there is no way a lawyer did these docs up for Yaniv. They’re poorly worded and written, and a lawyer doesn’t make legal arguments on the claim notice like Yaniv has. Yaniv should have detailed the damages he suffered and he did not. He also provides no evidence in any form that the conversation with PHSA and FHA ever occurred – no call recording, letter, e-mail, anything.
Jan 20, 2021 – Update 2: Thanks to commenter xMsHKx and KiwiFarms user theshep, we can see that Yaniv copied most of the text from a UVic legal journal article written by Naomi Krueger of the Vancouver law firm Alexander Holburn Beaudin and Lang LLP – the same firm that represented the physiotherapists in Yaniv’s bed-breaking case. The document is copyrighted by the Appeal Publishing Society.
Yaniv’s Notice of Claim copies a huge chunk of Ms. Krueger’s work and Yaniv doesn’t bother to attribute it to her or the journal he took it from. The amount of text he copied is also well outside fair dealings allowances. Yaniv, the DMCA expert, should know this.
The text he copied from Ms. Krueger’s journal article is well-written (as one would expect from a successful lawyer and adjunct professor), but fails to support Yaniv’s case. The Notice of Claim doesn’t have anything to support anyway, other than a few bald assertions.
A lawyer friend of MeowMix reviewed Yaniv’s document and stated that Yaniv cannot sue for breaches of the Privacy Act in BC Provincial Court. If a lawyer filed this document they would be sued for malpractice because they didn’t read section 4 of the Privacy Act, which states that actions for breach of privacy must be brought in BC Supreme Court.
If Yaniv is studying for the bar exam as he claims, naked plagiarism and throwing unfounded accusations around like a toddler throws his toys will not do him much good.
Ms. Krueger’s document can be found online at this link.
Update Jan 20, 2021 #2: Yaniv filed the documents below to have fees waived. There’s a few interesting tidbits here…
- He claims his net income is $700. Where is that from?
- He claims his phone bill is $150….what on earth?
- $50 for laundry and dry cleaning services? Come on, Jon.
- ZERO FOR ALCOHOL? GTFO.
- $190 for maintenance payments? Could these be condo fees?
- He claims he is unable to work because of a car accident and COVID? I thought it was Donald? And Rebel? And MeowMix? And PTSD? Which is it Jon?
- $42,000 in CC and LOC debt. Ouch.
- Almost zero accessible equity in the condo.
- Dumbass still doesn’t know how to sign his name “Simpson”. Looks like a toddler wrote it.
This just doesn’t make sense. I don’t believe Yaniv has a lawyer for this. He can’t afford one and he’s never had a lawyer file these personal vendetta’s before. I find it hard to believe he would pay for this service, especially because he will lose. I also find it hard to believe that he’s directing all this while he’s recovering from surgery. What the hell is going on?
You guys know what this is right? There was a class action suit against the 2 companies, there were a few options to get possibly a couple hundred dollars or less, Yaniv chose to sign away his rights to the class action and pursue his own suit, just like they advise against, and yaniv being yaniv saw green, hes pretty much copy pasted the who response from the class action in his reply, we just got done with a large one with a trucking settlement, only reason i recognize the type of reply. Hes a dumb shit and shouldve just taken the money offered, he cant prove his info was breached, thats why the company trys to pay as many as possible in the class action, they cant pinpoint what info and who it went to. Yaniv is a dumb ass.
Thank you for sharing this!
Jon,
If you had simply done the right thing, and grown the fuck up like 12 years ago, gotten a job and been a productive member of society, NONE OF THESE THINGS would be happening. Not a single one.
If you had just grown up and gotten a job you likely would have met someone to settle down with.
If you had just grown up and gotten a job your mother might have had her dream come true and be a grandmother.
If you had just grown up and gotten a job you wouldn’t have had time to make up this fantasy world where you’re a social justice warrior pillow princess who is also a famous activist and talented DJ.
If you had just grown up and gotten a job you would have been a happily married man and possibly even a father. You could have had a wife, children and not only self respect, but the respect of others.
Instead all you have are 131 thousand fake followers on Twitter, are hated universally, and a mutilated chode.
Good job asshole.
As I’ve said many times…you’re in a hell of your own making, Jonny!
That explanation makes total sense. Classic, Jonathan outwitting himself.
This is not written by Yaniv although it makes no sense at all and is likely a load of bull shit.
In 2019 there was someone winding Miriam up about medical records and Yaniv and his enabler went mental. It turned out all to be completely false, so the fat fuck is lying again.
Most of the text body is quoted case law/legal arguments. Only the first few paragraphs are him.
I am not a lawyer, but the fact that he posted his passport application for all to see on Twitter might prove difficult to sue when he’s so careless about his own information.

A new episode of Yaniv TV is out and it’s a good one.
Hey guess what Yaniv, you sound like a dude and always will.
Where is it? I need a good laugh!

Can you still sue if you’re a eunuch? I love it when this fat slob does this, the copy and paste of all the legal precedents is all a ruse try and impress the judge and also to try and scare the poor victims. He has fuck all idea what it all means but it impressed him too so he just put it all in. None of these precedents apply to the courts he is in. All you have to do is tell him to go fuck himself (which he can now) get a lawyer, file a defence, take it to court and in this case he simply cannot win, he has absolutely no evidence and the health services are not going to do themselves in, are they fuckwit. The other thing is that he has not suffered any financial damage nor has his health been damaged so he has no claim, he has done more to damage his non-existent reputation than anybody. By the way, how’s the festering axe wound going, have you been dreaming about what your pretend coin slot pussy is going to look like tampon boy- enjoy it and the pain while you can because your pussy is going to kill you son. Life is short Jon, life is short, remember I’ve told you that over and over, now you will see what I mean.
Most people who want to get rich play the lottery. This, to Mr Potato, is playing the lottery. He knows he’s going to lose a lot, but he thinks one day the right judge will award him the full costs.
And if they did, what are you going to do with it fatty? More cake? Drink yourself to death? Solid gold tampon? Yeah, you’d waste it like you waste everything. Like you waste your precious time on this earth making life harder for others.
Get back in the sea with the other whales. I’d never normally be this horrible, but your TikTock antics this week have proven without a shadow of a doubt that you’re a child predator, and my opinion of them is that they should all get into the sea.
That’s rather unfair…what have the poor whales done to deserve Yaniv as company?
Maintenance would normally be spousal or child support. Right?
He probably means the $300 he claims he has to pay each year for his wee tadpoles that are in the deep freeze.
On 9/9/20, he swore to a court his income was $500/mo. I wonder where this additional “business income” of $200 is coming from.
Oh, $250/mo on restaurant meals and $150/mo on entertainment of late? Gee, Yanny, you can’t scrimp a little on those for a month to pay your court fees? Why are the hard-working BC taxpayers always having to pick up the tab for you?
And what *is* that entertainment? Your cable and phone are listed separately so that’s not you bravely chatting with anyone no matter how young and pretty they are when they start pestering very attractive you for hawt friendship time.
$0 for charity though, eh? Cops4Cancer has a sad and so does that LGBTQ+ church you joined. Every dollar’s for Yanny, always Yanny, and only Yanny, right? Except when you’re offering to buy bus tickets home for young teen girl runaways in desperate straits near your posh executive strata with three beds in it.
Didn’t you hear? He started an onlyfans. Maybe that’s the source of the new spending money.
If jy is collecting disability he should be made to cash in that 8k rrsp.
How can he have a $3400 monthly expense and only have $700 incoming income? That means hes defaulting somewhere and not paying bills, or is mommy putting everything on credit for him?? A grown ass 34 yr old man has to have his mother pay his bills because he refuses to get off his fat ass and uses a small ass fender bender as an excuse why he cant work, wtf.
He reports his website is making passive income, and it is convently under the income amount for applying for the emergency covid benefit (CERB). If this lump is getting disability, the median amount is around 1200 a month, with CERB which was 500 a week for awhile? After CERB he is probably getting EI which is, at its max, 600 a week if he worked a certain amount of hours.
Still not enought to break even for his $3500 expenses. He is literally a drain on taxpayers, a literal waste is space.
