The Federal Court struck Mr. Choi’s judicial review application for failure to exhaust the RCMP Act review process and awarded $500 in costs.
The court found the formal chambers application was necessary because previously published reasons existed and the request sought modification of published judgments; affidavit evidence for the stand-alone Rule 10-3 application was admissible (post-trial material need not be struck and hearsay may be used to show statements were made but not for truth); applying the Sherman Estate balancing test the court concluded there is a serious risk to the identified public interest (children's health, privacy and safety) if actual initials remain, and granted further anonymization ordering that all pre…

The Federal Court dismissed Monica Loughlin’s judicial review, finding she challenged the Registrar’s decision rather than the Commissioner’s and had no basis for intervention.
Leave to appeal from case planning conference orders was denied, and the no-fee application was also dismissed, because the proposed appeal lacked merit and would delay trial.

The court dismissed an appeal from an associate judge’s refusal to set aside default judgment, holding the associate judge had jurisdiction and made no reviewable error.
The motion judge properly exercised his discretion in denying leave under Rule 15.01(2); the panel found no error in principle, unreasonable result, or misapprehension of material evidence and therefore dismissed the appeal of the motion decision—access to justice was not established by the submitted bank records and Mr. Drizen's conduct in this and related litigation was a legitimate and relevant factor against granting leave.
