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 joint oil-well ventures in Egypt which resulted in years of ongoing litigation. The applicants were ordered to pay the respondents a sum of money. The decision was confirmed by Cavanagh J. of the Ontario Superior Court. The applicants brought a judicial review application to the Divisional Court to challenge this decision but were directed to file a notice of withdrawal as the matter was not properly brought to that court. The applicants sought an extension of time from the Court of Appeal to appeal the decision of Cavanagh J. The motion for an extension of time was dismissed. The applicants’ motion to set aside the decision was dismissed by a three member panel of the Court of Appeal.
Lower court rulings
Applicants ordered to pay the sum of $331,087.33 to the respondents
Respondents’ motion to confirm payment by applicants, granted
Applicants’ motion to set aside order refusing extension of time to file a notice of appeal, dismissed
