Atkins v Protected Person

The applicant, Atkins, sought an extension of time to seek leave to appeal, leave to appeal, and an interlocutory order to obtain expert psychiatric opinion evidence. The respondent was a protected person. The matter came before the court on an interlocutory application.

The court was required to determine whether to grant an extension of time for the applicant to seek leave to appeal, whether to grant leave to appeal itself, and whether to permit the applicant to elicit expert psychiatric opinion evidence.

The court dismissed the application for an extension of time to seek leave to appeal, and also dismissed the application for leave to appeal. Furthermore, the interlocutory application to obtain expert psychiatric opinion evidence was dismissed. The applicant was ordered to pay the respondent's costs, fixed at $850.
