Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

Charter of Rights and Freedom – Fundamental freedoms and Enforcement – Whether a s. 24 Charter application can be dismissed without consideration of its merits due to the doctrines of collateral attack and issue estoppel.

The applicant, Mr. Ezer commenced litigation in British Columbia against the respondents, Mr. Danzig and Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. who successfully argued that the appropriate forum was Ontario. The British Columbia Court of Appeal awarded special costs against Mr. Ezer. The cost award orders from British Columbia were registered in Ontario. The applicant’s motion to set aside the registration order was dismissed. The related application seeking the same relief and declaring the special costs order unenforceable, as being in violation of his s. 2(b) Charter right to freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression was also dismissed. The Court of Appeal denied Mr. Ezer’s subsequent appeal.
