The appellant, author of a book, alleged that the respondents illegally reproduced and sold unauthorized copies of his work, claiming primary and secondary copyright infringement.
The respondents successfully moved for summary judgment, with the motion judge finding no evidence that they had published, handled, distributed, or offered for sale any infringing copies.
On appeal, the appellant argued the motion judge failed to apprehend key evidence and was biased.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the motion judge's factual conclusions were supported by the evidence and that the hearing was fair and impartial.
