Capital Gains Income Streams Corporation v. Merrill Lynch Canada Inc.

The motion judge did not actually find there was no settlement but concluded he could not determine on the affidavit record whether a binding settlement existed and therefore dismissed the Rule 49.09 motion; because he did not make a definitive finding that no settlement existed the order is interlocutory and the Court of Appeal lacks jurisdiction to hear the appeal, so appeal is quashed.
