Holding

No error apparent on the face of the record, application dismissed

Facts

The applicant filed a notice of motion on October 23, 2023, but it was court-stamped for October 2, 2023, due to accounts reconciliation purposes. The applicant claims this was an error, while the respondent's party argues it was a procedural mistake.

Issues

  1. Whether the notice of motion was properly filed and stamped
  2. Whether the court's order to vacate leave was valid

Reasoning

The court found the applicant committed procedural mistakes and did not seek to revive the leave or deem the notice of motion as duly filed. The court dismissed the application with costs.

Outcome

Application dismissed
