Heard and released orally: June 5, 2017
Motion to review the decision of Justice Cronk dated January 22, 2015
Reasons for Decision
[1] Mr. Giannaris brought a motion seeking to set aside the Registrar's dismissal of his appeal for delay and granting him a 30-day extension of time within which to perfect his appeal from the orders of Frank J. of the Superior Court of Justice, dated June 11 and August 7, 2013. Cronk J.A. dismissed Mr. Giannaris' motion and granted the City's cross-motion that he be prohibited from bringing any further motions in this proceeding – save for any motion to a full panel of this court to review Cronk J.A.'s decision – under Rule 37.16 of the Rules of Civil Procedure. This is the panel review of Justice Cronk's order. In our opinion there is no merit to Mr. Giannaris's submissions that he has never been before a court of competent jurisdiction and has been denied due process. Having heard the submissions of Mr. Giannaris, with respect to the order of Cronk J.A. we hereby confirm the order she made.
[2] The City is entitled to its costs fixed in the amount of $5,000 all inclusive. Approval as to form and content of the order is dispensed with.
K.M. Weiler J.A.
K. van Rensburg J.A.
Grant Huscroft J.A.
