According to the Legal Post, the most-read Canadian court decision of 2012 is Langevin, 2012 QCCS 613 (CanLII). A claimant calling himself Sylvio Langevin (who has filed various claims under other names) claimed ownership of the planet Earth, as well as, in a separate application, the planets Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, in addition to the four largest moons of Jupiter.

Mr Langevin apparently “saw a unique opportunity in the planets“, and reportedly “thought he could start a collection, like other people collect hockey cards“. Since the five planets and four moons are “errant” the claimant was certain that the planets currently had no legal owner.
