Another day, another strong signal from #ONCA that motions for partial summary judgment are not the way to go, except in "rare circumstances". Appeal allowed and matter remitted for trial: Passmore v Hamilton (City), 2024 ONCA 825 (coadecisions.ontariocourts.c……) #cdnlaw
New #antiSLAPP from ONCA today allowing P to proceed with defamation action. Another signal to stop bringing anti-SLAPPs (and related appeals) in so many cases. Court also provides a useful list of principles that govern anti-SLAPP motions: coadecisions.ontariocourts.c… #cdnlaw

Clear direction from #ONCA that while tables and/or additional schedules (beyond "A" and "B") are permissible, the words in those sections count towards the max 9,200 word limit in 61.12: Boyer v Callidus Capital Corp, 2024 ONCA 761 (per Brown JA) #cdnlaw coadecisions.ontariocourts.c…

The Federal Court of Appeal has reversed the factual findings of the judge below, concluding Facebook violated PIPEDA in connection with Cambridge Analytica scandal. A long decision, a lot to take in. decisions.fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-…
