REASONS FOR ORDER
LÉTOURNEAU J.A.
[1]
In a
motion to have the content of the appeal book determined, the appellant who is
self-represented seeks a variety of orders from this Court that are not within
the purview of the original motion.
[2]
In
addition, the appellant wants to include in the appeal book material that is
either not relevant to the appeal or that was not before the court whose
decision is being appealed. The grounds for the motion are not easy to follow
and the motion itself is wrapped up with dubious allegations of abuses and bad
faith on the part of counsel for the respondents.
[3]
Finally,
by his inflexibility and lack of cooperation, the appellant has made this
motion inevitable and he is the one wasting this Court’s time, not counsel for
the respondents as he alleges.
[4]
For these
reasons, the motion to determine the content of the appeal book will be allowed
with costs in the amount of $500.00 payable forthwith and in any event of the
cause by the appellant to the respondents. The Order will determine the content
of the appeal book.
