The appellants appealed an order staying their action against an Alberta hotel corporation for lack of a real and substantial connection to Ontario.
The Court of Appeal upheld the motion judge's finding that none of the presumptive connecting factors were met.
The court also rejected the appellants' argument that Ontario should assume jurisdiction under the forum of necessity doctrine due to the expiry of the Alberta limitation period, noting the appellants made a tactical decision not to sue in Alberta.
The appeal was dismissed.
