SCC Grants Leave in Van Breda v. Village Resorts Limited, 2010 ONCA 84

The Supreme Court of Canada today granted leave [1] to hear the appeal of Van Breda v. Village Resorts Limited [2], 2010 ONCA 84, a decision I blogged on earlier here [3].

One hopes the Court will take the opportunity to clarify when a court should take personal jurisdiction over out-of-province defendants since, despite a clear intention to clarify or update the law by the Ontario Court of Appeal, I am not convinced they did as much.

A search here [4] on my custom Google search of Canadian law firms, blogs and journal sites shows a fair bit of chatter over this decision.
