Good afternoon.

With this edition of our summaries of the civil decisions of the Court of Appeal for Ontario, I am pleased to be launching our firm’s newly redesigned blog, now known as “Blaneys Appeals”.

As you will see, our blog features a brand new look, more information and a fully responsive layout for all platforms (desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone). All of our content dating back to the blog’s inception in June 2014 has been imported into our new site. We hope you will find the new blog easier to navigate and that you will be able to search and find previously summarized decisions more quickly.

Turning then to our summaries for the week, I would first like to congratulate our partner, Colin Empke, on his successful appeal on behalf of our client in Nasr Hospitality Services Inc. v Intact Insurance. In yet another decision as to the meaning of “appropriate means” under subsection 5(a)(iv) of the Limitations Act, 2002, the Court reiterated that settlement negotiations between parties do not toll the limitation period within the meaning of that subsection. The Court set aside the motion judge’s decision and dismissed the action against our client as being out of time.Continue Reading ONTARIO COURT OF APPEAL SUMMARIES (SEPTEMBER 4 – 7, 2018)
