The Court of Appeal rejected the appellant's reliance on an offer to settle made in the context of its own application, which had been dismissed.

The court found the result on appeal was mixed and awarded costs to the appellant in the amount of $28,565.99, the same amount originally awarded to the respondent in the court below.

Respondent Counsel

Attorney General of Canada v. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 2016 ONSC 4938

This motion arose from an application by the Attorney General of Canada seeking the return of confidential taxpayer information inadvertently sent to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and an order preventing its future use.

The CBC, as respondent in the main application, brought a motion to compel the production of various documents from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that were refused during cross-examination on an affidavit.

The Master dismissed the CBC's motion, finding that the requested documents were not relevant to the issues on the application, nor to the deponent's credibility, and that the requests constituted a 'fishing expedition'.

McCreight v. The Attorney General of Canada, 2012 ONSC 1983

The defendants, including the Attorney General of Canada, the CRA, and various Crown prosecutors and CRA investigators, brought a motion to strike the plaintiffs' jury notice and various causes of action in a 111-page statement of claim.

The plaintiffs' action arose from a lengthy tax evasion investigation and subsequent criminal charges that were ultimately discharged at a preliminary inquiry.

The court granted the motion, striking the jury notice because the action was against the Crown.

The court also struck the claims for negligence, malicious prosecution, breach of fiduciary duty, Charter breaches, misrepresentation, and conspiracy against the Crown prosecutors and CRA investigators for failing to disclose a reasonable cause of action, largely due to prosecutorial immunity and the lack of a private law duty of care.

Claims by the accounting firm BDO and Family Law Act claims by the plaintiffs' spouses were also struck.
