Summary

Keywords

Civil procedure – Case Management – Appeals – Case management judge directing parties to an action to participate in pre-trial judicial dispute resolution process – Judge later varying order to remove dispute resolution requirement – Court of Appeal denying leave to appeal the variation and prohibiting applicant from bringing further applications until outstanding costs awards are satisfied – Whether parties can be denied dispute resolution after having concurred to undergo such a procedure

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 parties were involved in an action that was subject to case management. The applicant sought permission to appeal a variation of an order of the case management judge, which rescinded his earlier decision to conduct a non-binding judicial dispute resolution process. The respondent brought a cross-application, seeking to prohibit further applications in the Court of Appeal unless all outstanding Court of Appeal cost awards are paid in full.

The Court of Appeal declined to grant permission to appeal the variation, and ordered that the applicant must satisfy the outstanding costs awards prior to making any further applications to the Court of Appeal.
