Mr. Parikh settled a claim in the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta against Red-L Distributors Ltd. for wrongful dismissal and discontinued the proceeding. He subsequently sought a trial date and to set aside the discontinuance. He applied for an extension of time to file a Notice of Appeal. He also filed a Notice of Appeal from an interlocutory order in the wrongful dismissal proceedings that had required him to amend his Statement of Claim. A chambers judge of the Court of Appeal of Alberta denied an extension of time. The chambers judge denied leave to appeal from the denial of an extension of time.
