Background and Procedural History: Maria Melane Martin filed multiple legal actions against Tangerine Bank and its CEO, Gillian Riley. The dispute began with Ms. Martin's claims of defamation related to her employment, which involved suspicious financial activities investigated by Tangerine. Her initial defamation claim was dismissed by Justice Kirchner. Subsequent defamation and fraudulent document actions were similarly dismissed.

Legal Arguments/Issues: Ms. Martin sought to challenge the dismissal of her actions and the declaration of her as a vexatious litigant. She alleged that court orders and documents were fraudulent. Her primary argument was the illegality and authenticity of the court orders against her. Justice Skolrood dismissed her application for an extension of time to appeal, finding her appeal had no merit and it was not in the interests of justice to grant the extension.

Held: The Court of Appeal for British Columbia dismissed Ms. Martin's application to vary the order denying her an extension of time to appeal. The court cautioned Ms. Martin against using litigation as a form of harassment and upheld the declaration of her as a vexatious litigant.

Costs/Award: The judgment did not specify the total amount of costs awarded, but Ms. Riley was granted costs related to the dismissed application.
