Sherman Estate v. Donovan - 2021 SCC 25 - [2021] 2 SCR 75 - 2021-06-11
Supreme Court JudgmentsCourts
The Court of Appeal in our case relied, at para. 10, on H. (M.E.) v. Williams, 2012 ONCA 35, 108 O.R. (3d) 321, in which it was held that “[p]urely personal interests cannot justify non‐publication or sealing orders” (para. 25). [...] Respectfully stated, the emphasis that the Court of Appeal placed on personal concerns as a means of deciding that the sealing orders failed to meet the necessity requirement in this case and in Williams is, I think, mistaken. [...] But I disagree with the Court of Appeal in this case and in Williams that this is because the intrusion only occasions “personal concerns”.

Chandos Construction Ltd. v. Deloitte Restructuring Inc. - 2020 SCC 25 - [2020] 3 SCR 3 - 2020-10-02
Supreme Court JudgmentsBankruptcy and insolvency
[70] Justice Strong also relied on Ex parte Williams (1877), 7 Ch. D. 138 (C.A.), the ratio decidendi of which he described as being that “any provision by a debtor that in the event of his becoming bankrupt or insolvent there shall be a different distribution of his effects from that which the law provides is void”: p. [...] While noting that Williams was of limited value due to the lack of bankruptcy legislation in Canada, Strong J. went on to comment favourably upon the English cases which followed it, including Voisey. [...] Justice Vaughan Williams held that an agreement that a debtor’s interest in property would determine upon their bankruptcy was “evidence of an intention to defraud [their] creditors” in In re Stephenson, [1897] 1 Q.B. 638, at p. 640.

[...] For instance, the British Columbia Court of Appeal has set a range for sexual interference of one to three years and has suggested that only in “rare circumstances” would a sentence above three years be justified (R. v. Williams, 2019 BCCA 295, at para. 71 (CanLII)). [...] The British Columbia Court of Appeal appears to have done this by setting a range of two to six years for “sexual assault involving intercourse” in cases involving child victims while setting a range of one to three years for sexual interference (see Scofield, at para. 59; Williams, at para. 71).
