Correctional Service of Canada brought an urgent motion to stay a ruling by the Coroner presiding over the Ashley Smith inquest.
The Coroner had dismissed CSC's motion for a sealing order regarding confidential documents and videos.
Applying the RJR Macdonald test, the Divisional Court found that CSC failed to demonstrate a serious issue to be tried or irreparable harm, noting that much of the information was already public and the assertions of harm were speculative.
The motion for a stay was dismissed with costs.
