Ontario Court Of Appeal Summaries (November 12 – 16, 2018)

Good evening.

There were only two civil decisions summarized this week. Both were procedural in nature, and both were appeals from orders made after adjournment requests were denied. Both appeals were dismissed.

My partner, Lea Nebel, and I are in the process of putting together our roster of speakers for our third annual "Top Appeals" CLE that will be taking place as a dinner program on Monday, February 25, 2019. If you have any suggestions on decisions that were released this past year that you feel we ought to consider for inclusion, please let us know. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
