| 2003-12-17 | Order on motion to strike out, (BY FISH J.) | |
| 2003-12-17 | Decision on motion to amend, F, On October 23, 2003, I granted the separate applications for leave to intervene of the applicants, Canadian Seed Trade Association ("SCTA") and BIOTECanada Inc., who were then represented by the same counsel, and authorized the filing of a joint factum not to exceed 25 pages. The applicant, now separately represented, seeks relief from my order of October 23, 2003, on the ground that the applicant and the CSTA have "different client bases", "different interest in the appeal" and "divergent directions". Nothing in the materials before me, however, suggests that these differences (except, of course, for the change of counsel) have arisen since the applications of the CSTA and BIOTECanada Inc. for leave to intervene were presented to the Court. Moreover, pursuant to rule 75 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Canada, there shall be no reconsideration or rehearing of a motion. The present motion is dismissed with costs. Dismissed, with costs |
