The applicant, Stepping Stone, sought leave to intervene on an application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada prior to leave to appeal being granted.
The Court noted that under the Rules of the Supreme Court of Canada, applications for leave to intervene are normally considered only after leave to appeal has been granted, except in exceptional circumstances.
Finding no exceptional circumstances, the Court adjourned the motion to intervene pending the disposition of the application for leave to appeal.
