In the context of litigation against respondent Rona Inc., applicant Chang Jacques was declared a vexatious litigant in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and prohibited from filing any document connected with the subject matter of the proceeding. The Court of Appeal of British Columbia dismissed Ms. Jacques’ appeal from that order. Ms. Jacques then set down a judicial management conference in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, after which Ms. Jacques made additional attempts to schedule hearings and judicial management conferences. The court registry refused to schedule any hearings or accept any materials presented for filing, and sent Ms. Jacques an email stating that she had no further remedy in that court.

Ms. Jacques sought to appeal. The Court of Appeal of British Columbia quashed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
