This decision addresses five separate motions brought by the plaintiffs to reinstate administratively dismissed actions or extend time for filing/serving Statements of Claim, after 14 years of litigation with minimal progress.
The court dismissed all motions, finding that the plaintiffs had abused the process by repeatedly attempting to re-litigate issues already decided, misusing court procedures for investigative purposes rather than advancing claims, consistently ignoring court orders and timetables, and failing to properly manage their claims and expert evidence.
The court relied on its inherent jurisdiction to manage its process, concluding that the delay was inordinate and inexplicable, and that "enough is enough."
