This is an appeal under Rule 51 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 [Rules], of an Order of Case Management Judge Mireille Tabib on February 28, 2022, [Order] dismissing the Plaintiffs’ [Steelhead] Motion for: (1) an Order to add Western LNG as a defendant and to serve and file an Amended Statement of Claim; and, (2) an Order to compel the Defendants to produce a further and better Affidavit of Documents. For the reasons that follow and applying the Hospira Healthcare Corporation v Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215 [Hospira] standard of review, there is no basis for this Court to intervene. The Case Management Judge (CMJ) did not err in the application of the law and did not err with respect to her consideration of the facts and the evidence. In the underlying patent infringement action, Steelhead claims that the Defendants have infringed their Patent No. 3,027,085 (085 Patent); an invention for “Liquefaction Apparatus, Methods, and Systems” relating to at-shore liquefaction of natural gas to liquefied natural gas (LNG).
