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 subject to court access restrictions under the vexatious proceedings provisions of the Judicature Act, R.S.A. 2000, c. J-2. His action against the respondent was subject to case management. In ordering the action be set down for trial, the case management judge also ordered the applicant to pay into court the full amount of all costs orders made against him prior to trial. The applicant sought leave to bring an application for waiver of costs prior to trial. Leave to bring the application was denied.
