Summary

Keywords

Civil procedure — Abuse of process — Did the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench err in denying leave to file the counterclaim.

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.

The applicant is the defendant in a debt collection action brought by the respondent bank. In June 2021, the bank filed a Statement of Claim seeking repayment of an outstanding mortgage debt or foreclosure of the mortgaged property. The applicant’s defence alleged that she had been misled by fraud, defamation, misrepresentation and intentional false statements by the bank. She argued that it had acted in bad faith by not entering into a consolidation loan which had been discussed.

In August 2021, the applicant filed an affidavit with the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench seeking permission to file a counterclaim in the collection action which named not only the bank but the other parties listed in this leave application. The Court denied the application for leave to file the counterclaim. It found that the additional parties had been improperly added as they nothing to do with the action between the bank and the applicant. It also found that the counterclaim against the bank had no reasonable basis in law and was an abuse of court processes. It is from this decision that the applicant seeks leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. She also requests that the proceeding be discontinued against the non-bank parties.
