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.
Following two unsuccessful Provincial Court proceedings against the respondent Rona Inc., applicant Chang Jacques commenced a proceeding by way of a petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The petition sought relief similar to that which had been sought in the Provincial Court. Rona applied to have Ms. Jacques’ petition struck, and the application was granted. Ms. Jacques was declared a vexatious litigant, and prohibited from commencing legal proceedings against Rona in either the Provincial or Supreme Court without leave.
After filing a number of subsequent, unsuccessful applications in the Supreme Court, Ms. Jacques filed a requisition to have the order declaring her a vexatious litigant set aside. The court dismissed the application and issued an order prohibiting Ms. Jacques from filing further documents in any way connected with the subject matter of the proceeding. The Court of Appeal for British Columbia dismissed Ms. Jacques’ appeal.
