Ontario Court of Appeal

MacPherson, J.A.

January 12, 2001.

Summary:

Civil Procedure Rule 61.04(1) required an appellant to serve a notice of appeal within 30 days after the date of the order appealed from. An appellant moved for a declaration that the 30 day period did not commence to run until the disposition of costs by the trial judge. Alternatively, the appellant requested an order extending the time to serve and file a notice of appeal.

The Ontario Court of Appeal, per MacPherson, J.A., granted the appellant an extension of time to serve and file its notice of appeal.

Practice - Topic 9002

Appeals - Notice of appeal - Extension of time for filing and serving notice of appeal - An appellant unsuccessfully attempted service on the last day of the limitation period for serving its notice of appeal - The appellant was therefore late by one day in serving and by four or five days in filing the notice - The appellant's solicitor believed that the time to appeal had not formally commenced to run under Civil Procedure Rule 61.04(1) since the trial judge had not disposed of costs - It was the appellant's intention to wait until the decision on costs was released and then serve the notice of appeal again - The appellant sought an extension of time to file and serve the notice - The Ontario Court of Appeal, per Macpherson, J.A., granted an extension under rule 2.02(1) - The appellant had a firm intention of appealing and adequately explained its failure to observe the time limit - Finally, the respondents would not be prejudiced by granting an extension.
