This is an appeal from the judgment of the Federal Court allowing an appeal of Prothonotary’s Steele’s Order and dismissing the underlying action brought by the appellants for copyright infringement in respect of cinematographic works appearing on the respondents’ “Pornhub websites”. They erred by interfering with Prothonotary Steele's findings without a clear mistake. The appeal was partially allowed. Appellants admitted delay; respondents requested details but received a partial response. Steele dismissed leave to file reply evidence but partially granted the dismissal motion. The Federal Court overturned Steele's decision, but in this case, the Prothonotary's order was reinstated for a specially managed proceeding, with costs set at $5,000.
