Anderson v. Ville de Montréal: Quebec Superior Court to Hear Motion to Dismiss

A joint declaration has been filed to allow the scheduling of a hearing on the City of Montreal's motion to dismiss. No decision has been rendered on the merits of the claim.

Press release — Montreal, June 10, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The case of Anderson v. Ville de Montréal has reached a new stage before the Quebec Superior Court.

Following the exchange of proceedings between the parties, a joint declaration has been filed to allow the scheduling of a hearing on the motion to dismiss (demande en irrecevabilité) presented by the City of Montreal. That hearing is now scheduled for December 10, 2026. It will allow the court to determine whether the arguments raised by the City justify the dismissal of all or part of the claim before it is heard on the merits.

The plaintiff, Jonathan Anderson, maintains that the questions raised in his proceeding deserve to be fully examined by the Court and intends to pursue the necessary steps so that the facts and legal arguments are analyzed in a complete and transparent manner.

"Courts exist precisely so that citizens and public institutions can present their respective positions in an impartial forum. We welcome any opportunity to have these questions examined by the Court," said Jonathan Anderson.

Stakes beyond the litigation

Beyond the litigation itself, the case raises broader questions concerning access to justice, the transparency of public institutions, and the ability of citizens to assert their rights in an increasingly complex legal environment.

The case also serves as a real-world use case for Juge.ca, a Quebec platform in development that aims to help citizens, entrepreneurs, and self-represented litigants organize their evidence, understand court procedures, manage their deadlines, and prepare their files more effectively.

No decision has yet been rendered on the merits of the claim or on the motion to dismiss. The hearing on the motion to dismiss is scheduled for December 10, 2026.
