Respondent (Respondent)
COUNSEL:
James Diamond, for the appellant 1269825 Ontario Inc.
Mark Jacobson, for the respondent Michelle Murphy
John Wheeler, acting in person
James McReynolds, for the respondent Victoria Wood (Main Square) Inc.
HEARD: December 12, 2013
On appeal from the order of Justice Susan E. Healey of the Superior Court of Justice, dated August 20, 2013.
APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
1In our view, the order under appeal is interlocutory, for two reasons. First, it does not finally determine the issue that affects the appellant, namely, the moneys that have been ordered paid into court – when they are paid out to whom and in what amount. Second, as the matrimonial proceedings progress the appellant will have opportunities to address its interest in the moneys and their payment out of court.
2The appeal is therefore quashed for want of jurisdiction. If so advised, the appellant may seek leave to appeal to the Divisional Court in Central East Region. The time to seek leave to appeal is extended by 30 days from the date this order is issued and entered.
3Each respondent is entitled to costs in the amount of $10,000, including disbursements and H.S.T.
