The plaintiff brought a motion in writing for approval of a settlement on behalf of an adult under disability, along with related relief.

The court adjourned the motion because the plaintiff's motion record exceeded 1,100 pages, failed to comply with the local Guide to Court Approval of Settlements, and contained uncommissioned exhibits.

The plaintiff was ordered to file a revised, compliant motion record of no more than 250 pages, schedule an oral hearing with a compendium, or schedule a case conference.

The moving party brought a motion for leave to appeal an order dismissing a motion to void a lease in the context of an oppression application under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

The Divisional Court directed the parties to provide further written submissions on whether the court has jurisdiction to hear the appeal in light of s. 249 of the Act, or alternatively, whether the underlying order was final and therefore appealable to the Court of Appeal rather than the Divisional Court.
