As for the SCC, you can't just appeal decisions to the SCC. You need leave to appeal. They may have gotten it. But leave applications take about 6 months anyway. Then the appeal is another year away. There are very few ways to expedite matters at the SCC. They have a shorter sitting schedule and a full docket every time. I know all this because I clerked there.
