Justice Fuhrer - 2022-10-21
Read full decision. Automatically generated summary:
The Defendant, Double Diamond makes a request in writing for a confidentiality order pursuant to Rules 151 and 152 of the Federal Courts Rules. ... This Order is being issued contemporaneously with the Judgment in the action. Toward the end of the trial held March 14-21, 2022, Double Diamond indicated the possibility of a confidentiality order in respect of several of Double Diamond’s financial statements that were produced. ... Double Diamond has not provided any evidence in this motion, except impermissibly in its written submissions. Nor has Double Diamond outlined any harm or serious risk that would occur were its financial statements to remain open, other than stating Double Diamond competes in a competitive market for clog-style footwear products in Canada. The evidence at trial established that the parties are competitors, and while this may be a good reason justifying a protective order, the time for seeking such an order is long past in this matter.
