Background:

• Hanna Sochnyeva sought a review of an earlier decision by Justice George J.A. of the Court of Appeal. The original order dismissed her motions to stay two Divisional Court orders pending leave to appeal.
• The Divisional Court orders had previously dismissed her motions for leave to appeal.

Key Findings:

1. No Error in Previous Decision:

   • The court found no error in Justice George’s decision to deny a stay of the two orders.

2. Mootness of the Case:

   • The case became moot because both motions for leave to appeal had already been dismissed by the court (one as early as October 3, 2023).
   • This dismissal was unknown to the parties at the earlier hearing due to an administrative oversight.

3. Reconsideration Denied:

   • Ms. Sochnyeva’s motion to reconsider and reinstate her dismissed motion for leave to appeal was also denied.
   • The court found no justification to reverse or set aside its previous decisions.

Disposition:

• Both the review motion and the motion for reconsideration were dismissed.
• Costs of $500, inclusive of disbursements and HST, were awarded to the respondent.
