Keywords

Civil procedure — Adequacy of reasons — Whether appellate courts are obliged to deal with the main issues presented and to render an intelligible outcome and explanation for that outcome.

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.

Over a period of time, Dr. Al Ghamdi raised seven legal matters against a number of personal and corporate parties alleging personal and professional wrongs against him. In 2017 ABQB 684, the chambers judge addressed three of those matters. She determined that no further proceedings could be taken against defendants who had not been served in time under r. 3.28 of the Alberta Rules of Court, A.R. 124/2010, struck certain actions pursuant to r. 3.68 as they had no reasonable prospect of success, and summarily dismissed the actions against other defendants under r. 7.3 on the basis that the claims they set out were of no merit.

In 2017 ABQB 685, the chambers judge addressed the other four matters. She found that the originating applications for judicial review had not been filed or served in time, as required under r. 3.15, determined that no further proceedings could be taken against defendants who had not been served in time under r. 3.28 of the Alberta Rules of Court, struck actions against other defendants under r. 3.68 on the basis that the pleadings disclosed no reasonable cause of action, and summarily dismissed the actions against other defendants under r. 7.3 on the basis that there was no merit to the claims.

Dr. Al Ghamdi appealed the entirety of both lower court decisions and alleged bias against the chambers judge. The Court of Appeal dismissed both appeals.
