COURT FILE NOS.: various DATE: 20200409 SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE - ONTARIO

RE: Various Proceedings Involving Nadire Atas

BEFORE: D.L. Corbett J.

COUNSEL: Nadire Atas, in writing

Case Management Endorsement

[1] Ms Atas has written yet again. Now she sends the court a “notice of ex parte motion” and affidavit, asking to re-open the four motions under reserve.

[2] I previously declined to schedule Ms Atas’ proposed motion without a case management conference. She then asked for a case management conference, but failed to provide a draft agenda specifying all the matters she wishes to address at the conference. Now she seems to ask the court to address her concerns on the merits without notice to or involvement of the other parties.

[3] Ms Atas is a very experienced self-represented litigant. She is capable of understanding the court’s clear directions. If she wishes to make a Chavali request to be given permission to seek leave, in a motion, to bring the proposed motion, directions as to how to do that are set out in the Judgment of January 2018 and in innumerable endorsements since. I decline to repeat those instructions. If Ms Atas wishes to have a case management conference convened, then she will comply with the directions given to her previously on this topic.

[4] The ex parte motion is dismissed – it is not a motion that should be brought without notice to the other side. This dismissal is without prejudice to any proper Chavali request Ms Atas may make, or any proper request for a case management conference Ms Atas may make, and is without prejudice to the underlying merits of the motion she seeks to bring.

[5] As of April 6, 2020, the court is able to schedule non-urgent matters. However, the court’s capacity to do business is limited during the COVID-19 suspension of ordinary court operations. If Ms Atas ever does make a proper request in respect to the issues she now raises, she should not expect that a case management conference will be scheduled prior to the resumption of normal court operations.

[6] The court has endorsed its fiat on this endorsement this day; the unsigned version distributed to the parties today has the authority and effect of the signed version, a copy of which will be provided to the parties in due course after the suspension of ordinary court operations is lifted.
