The Cardillo Parties sought review of a chambers judge's decision that denied them an automatic right of appeal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) and refused leave to appeal.

The chambers judge had found the underlying order to be procedural and that a single judge had the authority to determine the right of appeal and deny leave, applying the doctrine of paramountcy.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the Cardillo Parties' motion, affirming the chambers judge's findings that the decision was procedural, a single judge had the authority, and paramountcy applied, thus denying the appeal.

The appellants, Celine and Richard Pizale, sought to appeal orders approving the sale of their partially-renovated property by a receiver and an administration order.

They argued they had an automatic right of appeal under s. 193(c) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) or, alternatively, should be granted leave to appeal under s. 193(e).

The Court of Appeal dismissed their panel review motion, affirming the chambers judge's decision that no automatic right of appeal existed as the sale approval order did not result in a loss beyond that already worked by the unappealed appointment order.

The court also found no basis to grant leave to appeal, concluding that the appeal did not raise an issue of general importance or prima facie merit, and would hinder the receivership process.
