The appellant sought leave to appeal an interlocutory judgment that dismissed his motion to use a pseudonym in a civil action, seal the record, and impose a publication ban.
The Supreme Court of Canada allowed the appeal from the decision of a judge of the Court of Appeal refusing leave, granting leave to appeal on the basis that the judgment at first instance raised questions of public importance and interest.
A stay previously granted remained in effect pending the Court of Appeal's ruling on the merits.
