(Oshawa)

SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE – ONTARIO – DIVISIONAL COURT

RE: Godoy v. Godoy

COUNSEL: Mr Godoy, self-represented

BEFORE: D.L. Corbett J.

DATE: September 8, 2020

HEARD: In Chambers, In Writing

Case Management Endorsement

[1] The self-represented plaintiff considers that he has two active appeals in this court, despite the information provided to him set out in my unreported endorsement of August 31, 2020.

[2] The Registrar shall give notice to Mr Godoy that this court is considering dismissing his appeals as frivolous, vexatious and abuses of process pursuant to R.2.1.01, for the following reasons:

(a) The order dismissing Mr Godoy’s proceeding has been set aside by the judge who made the order. Thus there remains no order for him to appeal.

(b) The appeal of the order setting aside the dismissal order is frivolous: it does no more than set aside the order of which the plaintiff was complaining in the first appeal and remit the matter to another judge.

[3] In addition, the plaintiff shall also respond to this court’s general concern that he is behaving vexatiously. He has purported to commence an action against a Superior Court judge in respect to claims covered by absolute privilege, he is persisting in apparently unnecessary and frivolous appeals, and he is responding to the court’s efforts to assist him with abusive communications to the court. The plaintiff shall explain why he should not be precluded from further access to the courts respecting these matters except with prior permission from the court to control his vexatious behaviour.

[4] The plaintiff shall have fifteen days to respond to the notice pursuant to R.2.1.01. Adverse parties shall be copied on the R.2.1.01 notice, the plaintiff shall provide them with copies of his response to the notice, but they shall not provide responding submissions unless subsequently requested by this court.

[5] The court has endorsed its fiat on this endorsement this day; the unsigned version distributed to the parties today has the authority and effect of the signed version, a copy of which will be provided to the parties in due course after the suspension of ordinary court operations is lifted.
