Can a defendant appeal a decision to certify from a pre-trial management judge?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Harrington v. Dow Corning Corp., 2000 BCCA 605 (CanLII):
A decision to certify is, however, radically different from the kind of decision considered in Kinley v. Krahn, where a defendant applied for leave to appeal a decision of the pre-trial management judge to adjourn the trial for only two months rather than the nine months which had been sought. This court has, for the best of reasons, consistently refused to interfere with such decisions. Indeed, parties rarely seek leave to appeal from them.
