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.
An application was brought for a declaration that the applicant was conducting litigation in a vexatious manner and an order that he shall not institute further proceedings in either the Court of Appeal or the Court of Queen’s Bench without the permission of the relevant court.
The Court of Appeal refused to make a declaration with respect to access to the Court of Queen’s Bench. But it did find that Mr. Feeney had been conducting proceedings in the Court of Appeal in a vexatious manner. The court ordered that Mr. Feeney could not institute further proceedings on his own behalf, or any other person in the Court of Appeal without the permission of a judge of that court.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal dismissed the application for permission to appeal.
