What is the case law in which a notice of appeal is not served directly to a party directly but on their lawyer?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ryan v. Ramos, 2018 ONCPC 17 (CanLII):
The next case raised by the moving parties is Hare v. Ontario (Registrar of Real Estate Brokers), [1948] O.J. No. 1256 (Div. Ct.). Again, briefly, this decision dealt with the situation where a notice of appeal was not served on a party directly but on his lawyer. The court held that Otaco was still good law in Ontario and that service on a party’s lawyer was not proper service under the then rules of practice. I do not see how Hare is of any assistance in dealing with the issues in this matter.
