The applicant was a former student at McMaster University. The University severed its relationship with the applicant. The Crown sought a common law peace bond. Justice Campling of the Ontario Court of Justice imposed a two-year peace bond on June 29, 2021, which was upheld on judicial review by Goodman J. of the Superior Court of Justice in December 2021. In November 2022, the applicant brought a motion for an extension of time to serve and file a notice of appeal from Goodman J.’s decision. Miller J.A. dismissed the applicant’s motion for an extension of time to appeal. On another motion, Favreau J.A. found it was not in the interests of justice to compel the production of fresh evidence or to summon any of the witnesses to the hearing and dismissed the applicant’s motion. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of Miller J.A.’s and Favreau J.A.’s motions.
