CITATION: Lin v. Springboard, 2016 ONSC 4705

DIVISIONAL COURT FILE NO.: 250/16

DATE: 20160722

SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE – ONTARIO

Divisional Court

RE: KATHERINE LIN, Applicant

AND:

SPRINGBOARD and MAFAZA ASSAN, Respondents

BEFORE: H. Sachs J.

HEARD: In writing

ENDORSEMENT

[1] On June 10, 2016, pursuant to my direction, the Registrar of the Divisional Court gave notice to the Applicant that the court was considering making an order dismissing her application for judicial review on the basis that the application could be the subject of an order under Rule 2.1.01(1). An order may be made under that subrule if the court is of the view that a proceeding is frivolous, vexatious or otherwise an abuse of the process of the court. The Applicant was given 15 days, from receipt of the notice, to file submissions on the matter, not to exceed ten pages in total.

[2] The Applicant received the notice and. on June 13, 2016, sent me a fax entitled, “Is there rule of law in Canada – File No. 157/16, 250/16”. In that fax, she expresses her dissatisfaction with the fact that I have dismissed previous proceedings of hers under the same rule and with the fact that I caused a notice to be sent to her with respect to this proceeding. According to her, my actions were unjustified and have contributed to the destruction of the rule of law. I did not find it necessary to ask the other side to respond to the Applicant’s submissions.

[3] On its face, the Applicant’s application for judicial review is frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of the process of the court. The only relief sought in that application is damages in the amount of $1,800,000.00, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, relief that the Divisional Court has no jurisdiction to grant on an application for judicial review.

[4] This application is another of approximately 15 proceedings that the Applicant has commenced in the Divisional Court in the last three years.

[5] For these reasons, an order will go dismissing the application. There will be no order as to costs.
