Appeal from prothonotary's abeyance order dismissed; discretion to manage proceedings upheld.
The applicant appealed an order by a Case Management Judge that placed his two contempt motions in abeyance pending the determination of a vexatious litigant motion brought by the respondent.
The underlying dispute involved the respondent's failure to provide tax forms following a monetary award ordered by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.
The Federal Court found that the Case Management Judge did not make a palpable and overriding error in ordering the abeyance, as it was a valid exercise of discretion to control court proceedings and prevent wasteful use of judicial resources.
