Last week’s Court Rulings from the Alberta Court of King’s Bench, Court of Appeal and SCC.
Basaraba v College of Chiropractors of Alberta, 2026 ABCA 128
Dealing with Self Represented Litigants
The self represented Plaintiff sought to restore his appeal after missing Court Mandated timelines. The Court declined to do so noting that although “self-represented litigants are not expected to meet the same practice standards as lawyers, they are still required to know and follow the procedures and timelines set out in the Rules: see rule 1.1(2), Xu v Ma, 2024 ABCA 29 at para 16 and Morrison v Galvanic Applied Sciences Inc, 2019 ABCA 207 at paras 26-27.”
