Alan Kippax - An Untold Story 2019


Alan Kippax can certainly lay claim to a mistake or two over his 50+ years. Unfortunately, one particular mistake was unjustly adjudicated in both the press and a Canadian courtroom. Here’s the real story based on the real facts regarding the Alan Kippax accident.
The Alan Kippax Accident in 2006
In the middle of 2006, Alan Kippax was in the process of turning a revolutionary MLM into a highly successful business venture. The crash was certainly having an effect on Alan Kippax's business. As the struggles began, Alan’s life got hit with a personal tragedy, the accidental death of his cousin due to an auto accident. What followed the accident is unthinkable.
Time of the Alan Kippax Accident
At the time of the Alan Kippax accident, witnesses testified Alan’s car was traveling 40 to 100 KM/hour in a 70 KM/hour zone. He was nowhere near the area after the intersection where his cousin lost control of his vehicle, perhaps due to malfunction. Clearly, Alan Kippax was not responsible for the accident in any way. Initially, he wasn’t even aware of the tragedy that had unfolded, claiming the life of a dear family member.
After not hearing from his cousin as expected, Alan retraced his tracks and returned to the area where the accident occurred. Because of an erroneous witness account of the accident, Alan was eventually taken into custody on grounds of street racing and driving while intoxicated. The witness’ account was erroneous because Alan’s car was out of sight of his cousin’s car when that car lost control, veered into oncoming traffic and hit another vehicle. The cousin was killed immediately, and the couple in the other car was badly injured. As part of the initial investigation, Alan submitted to a breathalyzer from which he blew a 0.00, no sign of drinking. It’s worth noting that while one witness gave a false account of what happened, nine other witnesses did not believe there were two cars racing. While the original charges ended up being dropped, the prosecutor decided to pursue the charge of dangerous driving causing death, a charge not mentioned at any point prior.

Alan Kippax Accident in 2008
Nothing could have prepared Alan Kippax and his attorney for what would transpire in a Canadian courtroom. During the 7-day trial, Defense lawyer Barry Fox argued that the driving of his client and his client’s cousin were not linked. The accuser’s (Alan Kippax) Mercedes wasn't involved in any collision, nor did it cause his cousin’s fatal crash. By the way, Alan is dealing with this travesty while Wall Street took a major hit, shaking the financial foundations of many companies throughout the world. His company was being affected.

While testifying on his own behalf, Alan told the court that while he was devastated about the loss of his cousin, it was a tragic accident and he should in no way be held accountable. If his cousin was at all accountable for what happened, “I did not make the decisions he made,” as Alan explained.

Only one witness was willing to offer testimony that implicated Alan. It’s worth noting that the witness was in the process of launching a company that would have been in direct competition with Alan’s company. The defense argued false testimony was given in an attempt to “eliminate” the competition. No other evidence implicating Alan Kippax was offered by the prosecutor.

Further complicating matters was the fact a new judge was presiding over the trial. This particular judge was very much an advocate against street racing and driving while intoxicated. Based solely on the testimony of a potentially biased witness with zero proof of Alan Kippax being intoxicated, the judge decided to convict. The rest of the evidence supporting Alan Kippax’s claims was wrongly dismissed.

A Harsh Sentence
In what appeared to be an attempt to show strong disdain for “drunk” driving and street racing, the judge clearly decided to ignore a majority of the evidence and sentenced Alan Kippax to three years in prison for not causing nor being involved in a fatal accident. The Appeals Court decided not to overturn the conviction, siding with the trial judge. Upon finishing his the sentence as a model prisoner, Alan was immediately deported to the UK, despite being granted Canadian citizenship 30 years earlier.

Final Disposition

The effects of the accident and the Alan Kippax conviction were far-reaching. It certainly turned Alan’s life upside down while also destroying his business venture. No one seemed to care, other than Alan, that a large group of company distributors would also be adversely affected by what transpired. When he asked for an opportunity to save his company and spare his distributors, he was denied with his hands literally tied in a prison cell.

Alan’s crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He also had the unfortunate luck of landing a judge trying to prove herself based on information from a witness with potential bias. He wasn’t then, nor has he ever been the uncaring monster a complicit media tried to portray in order to sell newspapers. Not one day goes by that the Alan Kippax accident doesn’t haunt its namesake.
