Ontario Court Of Appeal Updates Framework For Leave To Appeal From Divisional Court Decisions
The Ontario Court of Appeal has established a new two-part framework for granting leave to appeal from Divisional Court decisions, replacing the fifty-year-old Sault Dock test.

Ontario Court Of Appeal: Insurance Coverage Analysis Turns On Nature Of Loss, Not Coverage Grant Selected
The Ontario Court of Appeal's decision in Panasonic Canada Inc. v.
