The appellant issued two claims in Small Claims Court against her former criminal defence lawyer for professional negligence.
A deputy judge consolidated the claims to prevent claim splitting, limiting the total claim to $25,000.
The appellant's motion to set aside the consolidation was dismissed by another deputy judge.
The appellant appealed both orders to the Divisional Court.
The respondent moved to quash the appeal.
The Divisional Court quashed the appeal, holding that it has no jurisdiction to hear appeals from interlocutory orders of the Small Claims Court.
