JACKETT C.J.—This is an application by the
respondent, Empire Stevedoring Company Lim
ited, "for directions as to what the parties
should do with respect to the service of the
material herein upon the Attorney General for
Canada and the Attorneys General for the Prov
inces of Canada."
Rule 1101 of the Federal Court Rules reads
as follows:
Rule 1101. Where any constitutional question or any ques
tion of general importance is raised by any matter before the
Court,
(a) any party may serve a notice on the Attorney General
of Canada or the Attorney General of any province who
may be interested,
(b) the Court or the Chief Justice may direct the Registry
to bring the matter to the attention of the Attorney
General of Canada or the Attorney General of any prov
ince who may be interested, and
(c) the Attorney General of Canada or the Attorney Gen
eral of any province may apply for leave to intervene or
for leave to file a memorandum of facts and law and to
appear by counsel and take part in the hearing.
In the absence of an application to the Court
to make some specific direction, I am aware of
no reason why the Court should make a direc
tion under paragraph (b) of Rule 1101.
You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
