The appellant appealed a trial judgment awarding the respondents damages for their arrest at a border crossing.
The Divisional Court raised the issue of its jurisdiction to hear the appeal under s. 19(1.2) of the Courts of Justice Act.
The court found that because the total damages awarded in each action exceeded $50,000 inclusive of prejudgment interest, the appeal exceeded the Divisional Court's monetary jurisdiction.
The appeal was transferred to the Court of Appeal pursuant to s. 110 of the Courts of Justice Act.
