ENDORSEMENT

[1] A panel of this court directed as follows (2025 ONSC 1777, para.2):

it appears to be the case that the order of Justice Ricchetti is an interlocutory order and, as a consequence, an appeal is not available unless leave is obtained from the Divisional Court. Leave may be obtained on motion in writing through the Toronto main office of the Divisional Court. It is apparent that this has not been done. Accordingly, this panel directs the Registrar to issue a Notice to Mr. Yadeta pursuant to Rule 2.1 of the Rules of Civil Procedure advising Mr. Yadeta that it appears that the appeal is frivolous, vexatious or an abuse of process because it has been brought without first obtaining leave to appeal.

[2] Notice of this direction was provided to Mr Yadeta on March 26, 2025, and Mr Yadeta was given until April 21, 2025, to provide submissions in response.

[3] Mr Yadeta did not respond to the r. 2.1 notice.

[4] It is apparent that the impugned order is interlocutory, that it cannot be appealed without obtaining leave, and that leave has not been sought or granted. Accordingly, the appeal is frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process within the meaning of r. 2.1, and it is dismissed.

[5] The appeal did proceed to a hearing and the respondent Police Services Board was put to expense to defend it. In these circumstances, the Board is entitled to its partial indemnity costs which I fix at $5,000.00, inclusive, payable by Mr Yadeta to The Regional Municipality of Peel Police Services Board, payable within thirty days. The other respondents did file costs materials.
