In Midland Resources Holding Limited v. Bokserman (Ont CA, 2022) the Court of Appeal made the interesting point that a registrar's order is administrative in nature (not apparently judicial):
[25] In any event, given that any procedural flaws associated with the earlier assignment have been corrected, there is no doubt that a new order to continue could validly be issued. An order to continue, signed by the Registrar, is in the nature of an administrative action. If necessary, it would have been reasonable to issue a new order to continue: Outfront Media Canada LP v. Clarity Outdoor Media Inc., 2017 ONSC 2136, at para. 68.
