The appellant brought a motion to set aside an order quashing his appeal to the Divisional Court for want of jurisdiction.
The underlying action claimed $15 million in damages, which exceeds the $50,000 monetary limit for appeals to the Divisional Court under the Courts of Justice Act.
The appellant argued the appeal should have been transferred to the Court of Appeal.
The Divisional Court dismissed the motion, noting the appellant had not sought a transfer in his materials and had proceeded in the Divisional Court despite being alerted to the jurisdictional issue.
