Good afternoon,
Following are this week's summaries of the civil decisions
of the Court of Appeal for Ontario for the week of May 10,
2021.
In Fontaine v. Canada (Attorney General), the Court of
Appeal considered a motion for a stay pending appeal in the context
of the ongoing Indian residential school settlement case. A stay
was not granted, and a request for a preservation order with
respect to documentary records of certain claimants was also
dismissed.
In Dorman v. Economical Mutual Insurance Company, the
Court upheld the motion judge's ruling that no court actions
are permitted with respect to disputes about entitlements or
amounts of statutory accident benefits, and that the Licence Appeal
Tribunal had exclusive jurisdiction over the issue.
