Court Court of Appeal of Alberta
Year 2025
Justice WATSON JA

Rules Discussed

  • Rule 14.47 Application to restore an appeal
  • Rule 14.65 Restoring appeals

Case Summary

The Applicants applied to restore the Appeal pursuant to Rules 14.47 and 14.65. The Applicants argued that because the deadline was missed by only one day, the Appeal should be restored. One of the five Respondents to the Appeal objected, while the other Respondents did not reply. Watson J.A. granted the Application on the basis that a minimal delay is not a persuasive enough reason to strike the Appeal, especially when the Appeal was now ready to proceed.
