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.

In the context of a history of litigation involving Mr. Lapierre and Pareclemco inc., a bank account was seized. It was a current account that Mr. Lapierre held jointly with Ms. Cantin. The Quebec Superior Court dismissed the application to oppose the seizure. The Quebec Court of Appeal dismissed the application for leave to appeal because the proposed appeal did not meet any of the necessary criteria and because granting leave would be contrary to the principle of proportionality.
