The appellant appealed a motion judge's decision dismissing its motion to strike out and declare void Personal Property Security Act registrations filed by the respondent.
The appellant argued that without a signed security agreement, the PPSA registrations were invalid.
The Court of Appeal determined that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal because the motion judge's order was interlocutory, not final.
The court held that the order did not finally dispose of the real matter in dispute between the parties, which concerned the equipment's deficiencies and the parties' respective obligations, rather than the validity of the security interest itself.
The appeal was quashed with costs, and the appellant was directed to pursue an appeal to the Divisional Court.
