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.

Mr. Weinstein commenced an application against the respondents seeking an order to set aside, vary or amend the May 13, 2021, judgment of Davies J., which was rendered in relation to the prior applications. Stevenson J. dismissed the application pursuant to Rule 2.1 of the Rules of Civil Procedure on the basis it was “…so clearly frivolous and vexatious that no formal motion to dismiss it is required”. The Court of Appeal agreed with Stevenson J. that Mr. Weinstein’s application was frivolous and vexatious, and dismissed the appeal with costs in the amount of $5,000.
