perhaps the result could have been expected. A lay rep/McKenzie friend who did not realise his friend was not the Plaintiff wasting Court time. Demanding 3x penalty, when level of compensation is at sole discretion of Judge, beyond deposit return. SCC is arbitration, not adversarial in nature, so a questions may be posed via Judge, but not cross-examined. OP appears to have an over-inflated opinion of his abilities (based on one success in Boston CC?), which may not have endeared him to the Judge, who may have well protected the defendant from aggressive interrogation. If OP knows anything, he will realise a Judicial Review, if allowed, is not cheap. Can his friend's wife, as Plaintiff, afford it and is prepared to initiate? OP accept result and lick your wounds.
