Decision on miscellaneous motion, CJ, I refer to your motion requesting reconsideration of the order of Mr. Justice Major, dated May 20, 2003, which denied the Attorney General of Alberta the opportunity to present oral submissions at the hearing of the appeal, and requesting that the Attorney General of Alberta be authorized to make submissions at the hearing of this appeal. Under Rule 75 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Canada, there is no reconsideration of motions. Accordingly, the Chief Justice declined to address your motion. Nevertheless, Mr. Justice Major has read the materials submitted in support of your motion, and concluded that there was no reason justifying a change in his order of May 20, 2003. The larger concerns raised in your motion with respect to the practices of the Court in authorizing oral arguments from interveners are matters for consideration in consultation with the Canadian Bar Association Liaison Committee. Dismissed |
