ENDORSEMENT

[1]

Ms. Lin moves
for leave to appeal an order of
    the Divisional Court. The leave motion has been referred to this panel under
    rule 2.1 of the

Rules of
    Civil Procedure
,

O. Reg. 194.

[2]

Ms. Lins action was dismissed under rule 2.1 by
    order of a Superior Court judge dated April 4, 2016. Ms. Lin appealed to the
    Divisional Court. By order dated June 20, 2016, the Divisional Court dismissed
    her appeal under rule 2.1 because the amount claimed in the statement of claim
    exceeded $50,000 and the appeal, therefore, did not fall within the
    jurisdiction of the Divisional Court: s. 19(1.2) of the
Courts
    of Justice Act
,

R.S.O. 1990, c. C.43.

[3]

We agree that the Divisional Court had no jurisdiction
    to entertain Ms. Lins appeal for the reason it stated. The motion for leave to
    appeal is therefore devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed under rule
    2.1.
