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 are corporations. The respondent brought court proceedings against the applicant in the Quebec Superior Court. After the applicant’s lawyer ceased representing it, the director and shareholder of the applicant appeared before the court on its behalf.
Legal persons are required to be represented before the courts by a lawyer. The Quebec Superior Court found that the applicant had failed to obtain new counsel and allowed the respondent’s application. Another Superior Court judge dismissed an application for revocation, and the Quebec Court of Appeal allowed an application to dismiss the appeal.
