Alberta courts have recently been grappling with questions around the priority of municipal property taxes under s. 348 of the Municipal Government Act

The moving party, Reyes, was subject to a vexatious litigant order made by Perell J, the terms of which put constraints on her ability to commence or continue legal proceedings.

The appellant appeals a summary judgment dismissing her claim against herself for statutory vicarious liability as the owner of the vehicle involved in an accident in which she suffered a personal injury. The appellant’s claim is based on the deemed statutory liability imposed by the Highway Traffic Act on the owner of the vehicle.

In 2006, the respondents sought to purchase from the appellant (a) the appellant’s shares in 1702620 Ontario Inc., (b) the Petting Zoo vacant land, and (c) the Lot 511 vacant land. The Share Purchase Agreement included the terms by which the appellant was to sell the Petting Zoo and Lot 511 to the respondents.

The order that is the subject of these appeals arose out of a high-conflict custody dispute between a father and mother. The motion judge found that the police force that would ordinarily be called upon to enforce the order, the Waterloo Regional Police Service, had an inherent conflict of interest and therefore was not able to assist because the father was a member of the WRPS.

The Town of Rainy River and its mayor, Deborah Ewald, brought an application to stop the respondent, Paul Olsen, from continuing to harass and defame the mayor, members of Town council, and staff. The application was brought under R. 14.05(3)(h) of the Rules of Civil Procedure.
