REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

(Delivered from the Bench at Toronto, Ontario, on December 7, 2009)

 

SHARLOW J.A.

 

[1]               This is an appeal of the Judgment of Justice Hughes (2008 FC 1367) dismissing an appeal of the order of Prothonotary Aalto (2008 FC 1161) striking the Appellants’ statement of claim without leave to amend.  We have not been persuaded that Justice Hughes’ decision is wrong in law or that Justice Hughes made any error warranting the intervention of this Court.  For that reason, this appeal will be dismissed with costs.

 

 

“K. Sharlow”
