The applicant sought a stay of an Ontario Court of Appeal order pending an application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
The application was made directly to the Supreme Court pursuant to s. 65.1 of the Supreme Court Act.
The Court dismissed the application for a stay, noting that under recent amendments, such applications should generally be made first to the court appealed from unless there are special circumstances.
The dismissal was without prejudice to the applicant renewing the stay application before the Court of Appeal.
