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 claimed that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice had no jurisdiction over him. The jurisdictional challenge relates to charges pending against the applicant by indictment in the Superior Court of Justice in Durham County relating to offences he is alleged to have committed.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruled that the laws of Ontario and Canada apply to the applicant no matter what he calls himself or what words are used to describe him. The Ontario Court of Appeal agreed and denied the applicant’s motion for extension of time because the applicant failed to demonstrate it was in the interests of justice.
