The appellants sought a panel review of a single judge's decision dismissing their motion for an extension of time to perfect their appeal.
The underlying action against Dominion Lending Centres Inc. and others for alleged mortgage fraud was dismissed by the Superior Court as frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process.
The appellants argued the single judge dismissed the motion solely on procedural grounds without considering the merits.
The Court of Appeal rejected this argument, noting the single judge explicitly found the grounds of appeal devoid of merit and the lower court's reasons cogent.
The motion for panel review was dismissed with costs.
