Mr Eve’s solicitors sought an extension of the deadline of 35 days to lodge a defence which was accepted without protest or the need to serve formal notice. Mr Eve is now seeking a stay on proceedings and I will advise him on his application The Canadian case of Gulf Canada Resources Ltd v. Arochen International Ltd formulated a test to decide whether or not a stay in proceedings should be granted. The test, created by Hinkson J of the Court of Appeal, stated that there are two issues that must be addressed. Firstly, the dispute at hand must fall within the terms of the arbitration agreement.

Shahar V. Tommie Granville

305 Words | 2 Pages

I believe Justice O’Connor’s plurality opinion of Jennifer Troxel et vir. V. Tommie Granville (802-803) was an example of a “good opinion.” The piece was both well-written and backed by appropriate precedent; O’Connor cited Meyer and Stanley v. Illinois, supra, observing, “[The] interest of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children [is] perhaps the oldest of the fundamental [due process] liberty interests recognized by this Court” (802). He additionally emphasized that the Court had not found Granville an unfit mother, nor had the Troxels accused her of being one when the case began. I find the majority opinion of Robin Joy Shahar v. Michael Bowers to be an example of a “bad opinion” for several reasons.
