. Laurentide Kitchens Inc. v. Homestars Inc.

In Laurentide Kitchens Inc. v. Homestars Inc. (Ont CA, 2022) the Court of Appeal held that SLAPP dismissal orders can't be issued by deputy-judges in Small Claims. An administrative judge in the Small Claims Court [appointed under CJA 87.2] did not have jurisdiction to make s.137.1 SLAPP orders, because it refers to 'judges' (which means full Superior Court judges). But a Superior Court judge sitting in Small Claims Court can make SLAPP orders.
