SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT OF MSI SPERGEL INC. IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE COURT-APPOINTED RECEIVER OF
THE REAL PROPERTY MUNICIPALLY KNOWN AS 160 CIDERMILL AVENUE, UNITS 23 AND 24,

Receiver’s First Report

1.0.1

1.0.3
1.0.4
Unless otherwise stated, all capitalized terms are defined as in the First Report of
the Receiver dated February 11, 2020 (the "First Report”) and the Supplement
thereto dated March 10, 2020 (the “First Supplement’’). The disclaimers set out
in the First Report and the First Supplement also apply herein.
This supplemental report (this "Second Supplement" and, together with the First
Supplement, the “Supplements”) is filed by the Receiver to supplement the First
Supplement. The purpose of this Second Supplement is to bring to the Court’s
attention those communications received by the Receiver and/or its counsel from
Mr. Groscki since the First Supplement was served on March 10, 2020, up to and
including the most recent communications from Mr. Groscki on Sunday, March 15,
2020, together with the lone response by the Receiver’s counsel on March 10,
2020. Copies of these communications are attached collectively (without
attachments), in chronological order, as Appendix “1” hereto.
The First Supplement advised that the Receiver would bring a copy of the
Excluded Email to the March 17 attendance. In light of the content of, and serious
and unfounded allegations made in, some of Mr. Groscki’s communications that
comprise Appendix “1” to this Second Supplement, the Receiver believes it is
appropriate to enter into evidence those relevant components of the Excluded
Email that are clearly not “without prejudice" based on their content. A copy of this
redacted Excluded Email is therefore attached as Appendix “2” hereto.
This Second Supplement is filed in support of the Receiver’s motion for the relief
set out in section 2.0.1 of the First Report and for the approval of the Supplements
and the Receiver’s activities set out in the Supplements.

Mr. Groscki,
The materials that the Receiver served on you are the same quality and format as those that were filed with the court and served on other stakeholders (and the same quality and format as those regularly served and filed in proceedings such as these). The Receiver has reviewed its materials to confirm that there is no legibility issue and the Receiver notes that you yourself have commented on the Receiver's dockets in one of your emails. In addition it appears to the Receiver that the materials are accessible through a generic pdf reader software. In short, there does not appear to be any issue with the legibility of the Receiver's materials.

Can you please respond to the email that was sent?
The document is not proper quality and cannot be read by an adobe program or any other Microsoft program as a result.
I asked for the document in proper format such as an original file saved in a PDF format
This is a very poor photocopy that has then been saved in a PDF format.
This would not be an acceptable document for public accounting or legal documents that you would provide to a client
So why should I be receiving documents that I cannot even read?
There is no excuse for this poor level of quality in 2020 when you should be sending digital copies.

Thank you for your email Mr. Groscki.
The Receiver has no record of a request from you to obtain a copy of the first report (beyond the copy that was served on you on February 11, 2020, and the further copy that was served on you on February 18, 2020 as part of the Receiver’s motion record). Please note that the motion record returnable March 17, 2020 is available on the Receiver’s website at https://www.speraelcorporate.ca/enqaaements/1120044-ontario-inc/.

Dear Service List,
Please see the attached First Report of the Receiver dated February 11, 2020, which is hereby served upon you pursuant to the Rules.
The Receiver intends to bring a motion to Court to seek the relief specified at paragraph 2.0.1 of the First Report. At this time, the Receiver has provisionally booked time with the Court on March 17, 2020 for the hearing of the Receiver's motion. In the event that you intend on responding to the Receiver’s motion but are not available on March 17, 2020, please advise as soon as possible (and, in any event, by no later than February 18, 2020) so that the Receiver can attempt to arrange an alternative March hearing date with the Court and file the Receiver’s motion record.
Thank you,

Making Documents Readable for Seniors - Common Courtesy
Please see the attached articles
The court documents provided by Spergel are in poor quality, 7 pt photocopy of a copy and blurry.
For the record the files from Aird Berlis were easy to convert, clear and crisp etc
without any issues.
Which is exactly my point unlike the Spergel documents.

Hello Mukul??
Have you a chance to reconsider ?
I am attaching my Adobe attempt to convert your dockets, and the Aird Berlis dockets, for your review.
Perhaps you can see the problem with your files and Adobe Acrobat DC program?
I do this for a living and use this program everyday.
Please note that I am 68years old and my eyes are not what they used to be..... working long hours on top
The problem is the quality of your files are not original files. They are a Photocopy of a document that is then PDF'd
It is a poor quality original document. If it is a clear original document that is PDF'd , I can easily convert the file and enlarge the data to make it readable for my purposes.
Will be filing these materials shortly with the court. Kindly advise

Not 100 % complete but gets you started.
Since you intend to sling mud, I will respond in kind.
Have brought transcripts for your review and will be filing complaints in due course.
These are serious matters as you are aware.
This has been going on for some time now.
You were not there at either motion.
Perhaps you should get your facts straight before you start making allegations and relying on third party statements.
I rely on transcripts and direct evidence.

Hello Jeremy:
You continue to file emails that are not easy to read for most of your older clients. You are not saving paper with this smaller font.
I have to re-size them. You are the only firm that I receive emails like this.
We can sit down and resolve this matter at any time.
Not holding my breath on that one happening.
You have no idea where I have been.
This simply a matter of coming to terms and allowing me to close this transaction.
It is the three parties reaching an agreement and it is as simple as that.
We did it in December 2018 concerning a ten million dollar facility on a much more complex matter.
The bank paid all of the Receiver's fees for approximately $1 M.
We paid the bank $8.
Expect to file my materials with the court this morning.

Hello Mr. Nemers:
Just to keep you informed.
I will be filing additional materials and asking for very substantial costs of these proceedings.
Estimated at this time to likely exceed $100,000.
You have have refused all requests for proper legible copies of the receiver accounts, and you have refused to meet or discuss these accounts.
I remain available to discuss all matters and to avoid unnecessary costs to both parties.
Will also be filing damage reports and estimated future anticipated damage claims, if the Receiver is allowed to continue in this role.
I remain available to resolve these matters expediently, to avoid future costs and economic losses that I am incurring daily.
You might also want to consider the very substantial interest costs that are being added to this matter due to the slander of title and the Receiver's conduct in this matter.
We are talking hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It is also infuriating given what you have done to me.....
Based upon your emails and your statement, having reviewed every document for the Receiver, please tell me what the specific information (efforts) the Receiver has provided (information that I would have required from the Receiver)?
How has that assistance been provided from my perspective....not yours?
Please tell me what I needed from my perspective?
and not how you (Receiver) were not able to comply?
or why you were not able to comply or cooperate?
Not how you could not communicate with me because I am not a lawyer!
Where is that in the dockets? Where are the financial reports? Where are they delayed?
Where is that in the Dockets? Why do we not have up to date dockets? Why is the accounting so far behind given the amounts that you are billing and the serious delays this is causing?
Why is the date to review the accounts so delayed?
When was the date booked? When is the next date booked? Why did you refuse to discuss any dates with me?
If you were in my position is this what you would expect of the Trustee?
How does your conduct benefit me?
How does your timing and conduct make sense, from my perspective?
Do you think you could have done anything better to date or different? Given the current circumstances? Crisis?
Why not work with me now??
Why would you discourage Mr. Groscki's financing? or not accept it??

CAUTION -- EXTERNAL E-MAIL - Do not click links or ORgn attachments unless you recognize the sender.
Mr. Nemers:
Please find attached article regarding threats.
This is to dispute your email concerning the receivers alleged cooperation, and your refusal to provide a legible docket.
You have continually refused to communicate with me, and pretended to be, or communicated "as if to be, "Mukul Machanda".
This might also be referred to as "impersonation", or "false pretenses".
You have refused to communicate with me directly, under the guise, that I am not a lawyer.
There is no professional reason to support this conduct. In fact it is the exact opposite in this situation, where I am a property owner and Licensed Professional Accountant.
This conduct has caused considerable damage, and under the circumstances, is not properly billable time.
Further I took your email of last week, as a "direct threat" concerning any challenge to the "docket charges", would result in further attempts at defamation against me. Your supplemental brief was incomplete and inaccurate. As such I object to the improper nature of your documents and their intention.
You should have explained the situation properly and completely. You did not have all the facts.
You are taking extracts from another proceeding, that you have already improperly "assisted" your client and docketed this account, in breach of your Fiduciary duty acting for the Receiver. I object to your unethical and improper conduct.
You do not have knowledge of the proceedings, as such you have misrepresented the facts.
This is nothing more than harassment in any other circumstance.
Your message was crystal clear as you intended it to be.
It is not unlike any of your previous emails to date.

Good afternoon Mr. Groscki,
The Receiver has forwarded your below email to its legal counsel for response.
The Receiver has made every reasonable effort to assist you. The Receiver understands from your earlier correspondence that you have already reviewed the dockets and are prepared to challenge them. As noted in the Receiver’s supplemental report that was served on you earlier this week, the Receiver intends to bring this earlier correspondence to Court on Tuesday (and rely on same as circumstances may warrant).
Thank you,
Jeremy Nemers Aird & Berlis LLP

ThreateningRules of Professional Conduct Transactions with Persons Other Than
Clients
(a) A lawyer shall not threaten criminal, administrative or disciplinary
charges to obtain an advantage in a civil matter nor shall a lawyer present
or participate in presenting criminal, administrative or disciplinary
charges solely to obtain an advantage in a civil matter.
(b) It shall not be a violation of Rules of Professional Conduct for a lawyer to
notify another person in a civil matter that the lawyer reasonably believes that
the other's conduct may violate criminal, administrative or disciplinary rules or
statutes.
COMMENT
[1] The civil adjudicative process is primarily designed for the settlement of disputes
between parties, while the criminal, disciplinary and some administrative processes
are designed for the protection of society as a whole. For purposes of this Rule, a
civil matter is a controversy or potential controversy over rights and duties of two
or more persons under the law whether or not an action has been commenced.
[2] Threatening to use, or using the criminal, administrative or disciplinary process
to coerce adjustment of private civil matters is a subversion of that process; further,
the person against whom the criminal, administrative or disciplinary process is so
misused may be deterred from asserting valid legal rights and thus the usefulness of
the civil process in settling private disputes is impaired. As in all cases of abuse of
judicial process, the improper use of criminal, administrative or disciplinary process
tends to diminish public confidence in our legal system.
[3] The Rule distinguishes between threats to bring criminal, administrative or
disciplinary charges and the actual filing or presentation of such charges. Threats to
file such charges are prohibited if a purpose is to obtain any advantage in a civil
matter while the actual presentation of such charges is proscribed by this Rule only
if the sole purpose for presenting the charges is to obtain an advantage in a civil
matter.
[4] This distinction is appropriate because the abuse of the judicial process is at its
greatest when a threat of filing charges is used as a lever to obtain an advantage in a
collateral, civil proceeding. This leverage is either eliminated or greatly reduced
when the charge actually is presented.
[5] Moreover, this Rule does not prohibit a lawyer from notifying another person
involved in a civil matter that such person's conduct may violate criminal,
administrative or disciplinary rules or statutes where the notifying lawyer
reasonably believes that such a violation has taken place.
[6] While it may be difficult in certain circumstances to distinguish between a
notification and a threat, public policy is served by allowing a lawyer to notify
another person of a perceived violation without subjecting the notifying lawyer to
discipline. Many minor violations can be eliminated, rectified or minimized if there
is frank dialogue among participants to a dispute.
[7] Rules provide a safe harbor for notifications of this type. Other factors that
should be considered to differentiate threats from notifications in difficult cases
include (a) an absence of any suggestion by the notifying lawyer that he or she could
exert any improper influence over the criminal, administrative or disciplinary
process, (b) consideration of whether any monetary recovery or other relief sought
by the notifying lawyer is reasonably related to the harm suffered by the lawyer's
clients. Where no such reasonable relation exists, the communication likely
constitutes a proscribed threat. For example, a lawyer violates the Rules if the
lawyer threatens to file a charge or complaint of tax fraud against another party
where issues of tax fraud have nothing to do with the dispute. It is not a violation of
the Rules for a lawyer to notify another party that the other person's writing of an
insufficient funds check may have criminal as well as civil ramifications in a civil
action for collection of the bad check.

if you are docketing me ...then do not read this email!!
Mukul given that each email means at least another $5,000 to $10,000 invoice from Spergel and Aird Berlis, for matters that have nothing to do with the administration, or allowing me to pay out the liens on this property, I fail to see how any communication is practical.

Prepared to I ns I have always been from the beginning.
Suggest you have some discussions to see if anyone is interested in settling this at your own expense and not docketing on my account.
Suggest some people have a very hard look inward. This is not an authorization to docket me. I have reviewed the dockets and I am prepared to challenge them aggressively.
Having trouble with the Fiduciary part etc etc.
Otherwise I see a very serious problem here.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed,

Will have counsel at any settlement meetings,
These are intended to include RBC and all parties to this matter,
RBC could have allowed the financing to close. The fact they chose not to, is their account. The papers were signed December 16, 2019.
