Are interim rulings binding on the trial judge?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from McPherson v. McPherson, 2021 ONSC 4066 (CanLII):
Typically, interim rulings are not binding on the trial judge as the record before the trial judge is likely to be different and usually more expansive than the record before the motion judge. There is a significant body of law on this issue (see, for example, Skunk v. Ketash, 2016 ONCA 841 at para. 35) that neither party has mentioned.
