DISMISSED / REJETÉE
UPON APPLICATION by Johnston & Johnson Inc., Expandable Grafts Partnership and Cordis Corporation, for leave to intervene in the application for leave to appeal;
AND HAVING READ the material filed;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:
The applicants are seeking leave to intervene in an application for leave to appeal. They acknowledge, rightly, that interventions in the leave process are rarely granted (Gamble v. R. (20433) (June 12, 1987), Crown Trust v. Ontario (Attorney General) (17823) (September 15, 1983), and Eastmain Band v. Robinson (23382) (March 12, 1993)).
The applicants’ proposed intervention does not add in any significant way to the issues joined between the parties as to whether the decision of the Federal Court of Appeal raises issues of public or national importance. The motion is dismissed.

DISMISSED WITH COSTS / REJETÉE AVEC DÉPENS
UPON APPLICATION by the applicants for an order extending the time to serve and file an application for leave to appeal to June 16, 2003;
AND HAVING READ the material filed;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
The applicants have not shown sufficient diligence in the pursuit of their intention to appeal the October 2000 judgment of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal. Considering the proposed grounds of appeal and the lack of diligence, there are no special circumstances that would permit excusing a delay of more than 2½ years in filing an application for leave to appeal.
The motion for an extension of time is dismissed, with costs to the respondent.
The Fall Session of the Supreme Court of Canada will commence October 6, 2003.
The Supreme Court of Canada has enacted new rules that came into force on June 28, 2002.
Pursuant to the Supreme Court Act and Rules, the following requirements for filing must be complied with before an appeal can be heard:
1) For notices of appeal filed on and after June 28, 2002

Respondent’s record (if any); respondent’s factum; and respondent’s book(s) of authorities must be filed within eight weeks after the service of the appellant's documents.
Intervener's factum and intervener’s book(s) of authorities, (if any), must be filed within eight weeks of the order granting leave to intervene or within 20 weeks of the filing of a notice of intervention under subrule 61(4).
Parties’ condensed book, if required, must be filed on the day of hearing of the appeal.
2) For notices of appeal filed before June 28, 2002
Appellant’s record; appellant’s factum; and appellant’s book(s) of authorities must be filed within four months of the filing of the notice of appeal.
Respondent’s record (if any); respondent’s factum; and respondent’s book(s) of authorities must be filed within eight weeks of the date of service of the appellant's documents.
Intervener's factum and intervener’s book(s) of authorities, if any, must be filed within four weeks of the date of service of the respondent's factum, unless otherwise ordered.
Parties’ condensed book, if required, must be filed on or before the day of hearing of the appeal.
The Registrar shall enter the appeal on a list of cases to be heard after the respondent’s factum is filed or at the end of the eight-week period referred to in Rule 36. |
