June 23, 2022 – Extending Time On Motion For Leave to Appeal

“As held in The Catalyst Group Inc. v. Moyse, 2016 ONSC 554 (Div. Ct.), at para. 2, in deciding whether to grant an extension of time on a motion for leave to appeal, the Court is to consider the following four factors, with overarching regard to the justice of the case:

a.    Whether the moving party formed an intention to appeal within the relevant period;

b.    The length of the delay and the explanation for it;

c.    Prejudice to the responding party; and

d.    The merits of the motion for leave to appeal.”
