The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal from a vexatious litigant order, finding no reversible error in standing or the application of the Lang Michener test.
Motion denied. The Court of Appeal refused to extend time to perfect two appeals, finding the proposed appeals lacked merit and consolidation was unnecessary.
The motion to extend time was dismissed because the appellant failed to demonstrate that an extension would serve the interests of justice: she did not show good faith intention to appeal before the deadlines, offered no reasonable excuse for delay, the proposed appeal disclosed no arguable grounds and arose from clear OPCA-style and abusive conduct; permitting the extension would prejudice respondents and undermine the administration of justice; costs of $500 were ordered against the appellant.
