Appeals – Leave to appeal – Whether application for leave to appeal raises an issue of public importance.
This application stems from a series of proceedings brought by the applicant, who claims damages and other remedies arising from his expulsion in 1996 from the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry.
The applicant appeals the dismissal of his motion by the Court of Appeal to have two orders of a judge of that court sitting alone varied or discharged: an order dismissing his application for indigent status and an order dismissing his third application for an extension of time to file his appeal materials as well as the appeal. The Court of Appeal found that the applicant’s conduct constituted an abuse of the court’s process and ordered that no process by the applicant be accepted for filing by the Court of Appeal, with the exception that the applicant could apply for leave to file a process if he was represented by a member in good standing of the Law Society of British Columbia.
