The appellant sought to appeal a default judgment ordering him to pay $20,285 in compensatory damages and $25,000 in punitive damages, plus pre-judgment interest.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, noting that its jurisdiction is limited to appeals from final orders for a single payment of not more than $50,000, exclusive of costs but inclusive of pre-judgment interest.
Because the total payment ordered, including interest, amounted to $50,918.83, the appeal must be directed to the Court of Appeal.
