The plaintiff was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a rental vehicle.
After the two-year limitation period expired, the plaintiff sought to add the renter of the vehicle as a defendant, arguing that the rental company failed to provide the renter's identity despite multiple requests.
The proposed defendant opposed the motion, arguing the claim was statute-barred.
The court found that the plaintiff exercised reasonable diligence in attempting to identify the renter and granted leave to amend the statement of claim to add the proposed defendant, without prejudice to any limitation defences.
