Summary
Keywords
Civil procedure — Costs — Appeals — Failure to pay security for costs — Whether the lower courts erred in ordering the applicant to post security for costs and in subsequently dismissing his applications for judicial review upon his failure to post costs.
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.
This leave application seeks leave to appeal two decisions by a Federal Court of Appeal judge granting an order for the applicant to post security for costs in two applications for judicial review from two staffing decisions by the Federal Public Service Labour Relations and Employment Board: Abi-Mansour v. Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, 2021 FPSLREB 3; and Abi-Mansour v. Deputy Minister of Justice, 2021 FPSLREB 16. The Court ordered the applicant to post $2,500 for each file within 30 days from the date of the Order, failing which the underlying application for judicial review could be dismissed without further notice. The applicant did not post costs but offered to deliver two smaller amounts, and sought leave to appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal. A panel of that court confirmed, inter alia, that an appeal from a decision of a single judge on a motion for security for costs must be brought to the Supreme Court of Canada. The Court also issued Orders dismissing the underlying applications for judicial review.
The applicant seeks leave to appeal the July 20, 2021 and October 13, 2021 decisions, and also brings motions for an extension of time in which to serve and file his leave application, for an oral hearing, to join the file numbers, to semi-anonymize the style of cause, and to delay submission of the leave application pending the filing of another leave application.
