The applicant brought a motion for an extension of time to file an application for leave to appeal from a judgment of the Quebec Court of Appeal.
The delay was due to settlement negotiations, a series of events, and the applicant's condition.
The respondent opposed the motion, arguing the applicant did not indicate an intention to appeal within the deadline.
The Supreme Court of Canada granted the extension, finding that the applicant should not be deprived of the right to seek leave solely because of the additional delay, and dismissed the respondent's application for security for costs.
