The self-represented applicant brought a motion seeking to vary a prior endorsement denying urgency, to set aside a costs award, and to obtain declarations relating to alleged misconduct by a respondent in a judicial review proceeding concerning an order under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
The court reviewed the transcript of the earlier motion and found that the prior judge’s determination regarding urgency and the costs award were supported by the record and applicable law.
The applicant failed to establish any basis to vary the earlier endorsement or to set aside the costs award.
The court concluded the judicial review application was not urgent and ordered that the matter be transferred to the Divisional Court pursuant to the Judicial Review Procedure Act.
Costs of the motion were awarded to the Information and Privacy Commissioner.
