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 filed his Amended Statement of Claim (“Amended Claim”), in which he made several claims against the respondents. With respect to Suncor, the applicant alleged that he was constructively/wrongfully dismissed by Suncor and was entitled to damages. Justice Dario held that the Amended Claim should be struck out. At the Court of Appeal the applicant failed to meet mandatory filing deadlines to maintain his appeal and his appeal was accordingly struck. The applicant’s application to restore his appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal.
