In Derenzis v. Gore Mutual Insurance Company (Div Court, 2023) the Divisional Court states a consequence of the relation of impecuniosity and legal complexity on access to justice:
[4] The Appellant/Applicant submits that the issues on the appeal are intertwined with those on the application for judicial review and should be permitted to move forward. The Appellant/Applicant also submits that judicial review is difficult, expensive and may be a losing proposition. None of these submissions create appellate jurisdiction.
[5] The appeal is therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
