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.

Civil procedure – Appeals – Costs – In commercial action, respondents awarded costs on two motions brought by applicant – Applicant failing to pay costs awards – Whether applicants should pay the costs awards – Whether lower courts erred.

At a case management conference, the applicant was ordered to produce certain documents. He sought leave to appeal the production order but that was refused, with costs. His motion for an extension of time in which to appeal the previous order was dismissed with costs. The respondent was granted a stay of the action until the costs ordered were paid. The applicant appealed that order and sought to have the costs orders dismissed.
