The plaintiff moved to set aside a registrar's administrative dismissal of his personal injury action.
The plaintiff argued he was under a disability at the time of the dismissal and, alternatively, that the dismissal should be set aside based on the Reid factors.
The court found the plaintiff did not meet the strict definition of disability under the Rules of Civil Procedure.
However, applying the Reid factors, the court exercised its discretion to set aside the dismissal, noting the plaintiff's mental health struggles, his self-represented status at the time, the shared responsibility for delay, and the lack of significant prejudice to the defendants.
