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 respondent brought a motion for a permanent or temporary stay of proceedings arguing the action was an abuse of process and a duplicate pleading because the factual allegations and claims against it were a replication of another action commenced against it on December 2023. The case stems from actions commenced by the applicant alleging misuse of intellectual property for extending the shelf-life of meat products.
The motion judge ordered a permanent stay. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal.
Lower court rulings
Motion by Hantover Canada Inc., for a permanent stay of action, granted.
Appeal dismissed.
