Yashcheshen v Saskatchewan Government Insurance

Case Overview:
The case addressed multiple applications by Yashcheshen, previously declared a vexatious litigant, to commence legal actions against SGI. These claims stemmed from motor vehicle accidents on April 8, 2000, and September 19, 2005.

Legal Background:
Yashcheshen had been declared a vexatious litigant in 2020 under Rule 11-28 of The King’s Bench Rules, requiring her to obtain leave from the court before initiating claims. Despite this, she filed five applications in four judicial centers without proper notice, raising procedural and abuse of process concerns.

Key Legal Issues:

  1. Multiplicity of Proceedings: Four applications concerned the same 2005 accident but were filed in different courts, risking inconsistent judgments.
  2. Abuse of Process: The court highlighted repeated filings without notice and procedural non-compliance.

Court’s Orders and Reasoning:
The court, under its inherent jurisdiction and statutory authority, ordered case management for all current and future applications filed by Yashcheshen. Applications for leave were required to include affidavits detailing facts, prior claims, and assurances of no abuse of process.

Costs and Awards:
The document did not specify any monetary costs or awards in favor of either party but emphasized procedural safeguards to minimize litigation costs and inefficiencies.

Conclusion:
The court assigned a case management judge to oversee Yashcheshen’s applications, ensuring procedural compliance, preventing abuses, and upholding judicial efficiency.
