The respondents moved to quash the appellant's appeal from an order striking his statement of claim, which sought $6 million in damages.
The respondents argued the Divisional Court lacked jurisdiction and the appeal was out of time.
The court granted the motion to quash, finding that under the Courts of Justice Act, appeals from final orders where the claim exceeds $50,000 must be brought to the Court of Appeal.
The court also noted the appeal was late, as time runs from the date reasons are signed, not when the order is issued, though it would have granted an extension had it possessed jurisdiction.
