2004-04-01 Order on motion to add or substitute parties, (BY LEBEL J.)
2004-04-01 Decision on motion to add or substitute parties, LeB, The applicants, Pyar Dossal and Jane Benn, seek leave to be added or confirmed as parties. They were granted leave to intervene as added parties in the Ontario Superior Court and participated fully as parties in the courts below. Furthermore, their interest is adverse to that of the applicant. As such, pursuant to 22(2) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Canada, they are entitled to be added as respondents in the leave application and to file a response to the application for leave to appeal. The motion is granted.
Granted
2004-03-29 Order on motion to leave to intervene, (BY LEBEL J.)
2004-03-29 Decision on motion for leave to intervene, LeB, Interventions in support of a leave application are exceptional and should not be encouraged (Crane and Brown, Supreme Court of Canada Practice, Carswell 2002, p. 308; Monsanto Canada Inc. v. Superintendent of Financial Services, et al. (29586) (March 28, 2003); Dutch Industries Ltd. v. Barton No-Till Disk Inc., et al. (29738) (June 24, 2003) and R. v. Krystopher Krymowski, et al. (29865) (September 23, 2003)). There is no need for interventions which purport to draw the attention of the Court to the importance of the application for leave to appeal. The application for leave to appeal should itself include material relevant to the general importance of the case.
The motion is dismissed. If the Court grants leave to appeal, the applicant may reapply for leave to intervene in the appeal, in the usual manner.
