MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION,
Respondent.
REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER
GILES, A.S.P.
[1] The motion before me seeks an extension of time within which to file a reply. It is supported by an affidavit exhibiting the reply sought to be filed. In my view, filing of the reply as an exhibit to an affidavit when the reply cannot be filed without leave, is improper. In this case, the final page of the reply rejected by the registry, has relevance, and for that reason, I do not propose to strike the affidavit.
[2] I note that in signing the reply sought to be filed, the agent lawyer purported to sign "per" the solicitors of record. "Per" is the latin for "by". Thus, we have the ink signature of the agent purporting to be signed by the typed name of the solicitor of record. It should have been a) ink signature "pro" (for), typed name or b) typed name "per" (by) ink signature. Where an agent with limited authority signs with or without revealing the principle, he may sign "ink signature per. proc." (or p.p.) followed in some cases by the name of the person for whom the agent is signing. The per. proc. usage, operates as notice of the limited authority of the agent and is not suitable for filings in the registry.
ORDER
The time for filing a reply is extended to the 19th of June, 1998.
