The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA), an intervening party in an appeal concerning the constitutional validity of the Agricultural Employees Protection Act, brought a motion for leave to file a factum exceeding thirty pages.
The appellants opposed the motion, while the respondent consented.
The court granted the motion, allowing the OFA to file a factum of up to forty-five pages, noting the significance of the issues for agricultural labour relations and finding that the OFA's perspective would provide added value to the appellate process.
