Civil procedure C38289

Ivandaeva Total Image Salon Inc. v. Hlembizky (c.o.b.) Dermocare

The Court held the appellants were not 'persons affected' within the meaning of rule 37.14(1) because the sealing order did not directly affect their proprietary or economic interests; therefore they lacked standing to seek to set aside the sealing order and the motion judge correctly dismissed their motion and ordered compliance with the sealing order.

  • Sealing of court files
  • Standing (locus standi) under rule 37.14(1)
  • Motions without notice
