Industrial Acceptance Corp. Ltd. and Canadian Acceptance Corp. Ltd. v. Canada Permanent Trust Co. / In re Smith and Hogan, Ltd. - [1931] SCR 652 - 1931-11-09
Supreme Court JudgmentsBankruptcy and insolvency
We agree with the view expressed by Ritchie, C.J., and Strong, J., in In re Sproule[4], that where “jurisdiction is conferred on a judge in chambers a right to revise his decision is impliedly conferred on the court unless there is something in the subject matter or context leading to a contrary conclusion.” In Williams v. [...] Authorities giving effect to this view are cited in the judgment of Taschereau, C.J., in Williams’ case[6] and need not be reproduced here. [...] But Williams’ case6 should not be regarded as governing cases in which the judge in chambers has granted an application for leave to appeal in disregard of some essential statutory condition of the right of the applicant to have his application for leave heard and passed upon.
