The applicant brought motions for further production of documents and to strike an affidavit in the context of his applications for judicial review of the Law Society of Ontario's decisions to close his complaints against two lawyers.
The court dismissed the motion for production, finding that the decision to close a complaint is not the exercise of a statutory power of decision under the Judicial Review Procedure Act, and that internal memoranda are protected by deliberative privilege.
The court also dismissed the motion to strike the affidavit of the Intake and Resolution Counsel, finding it properly detailed the process followed.
