The defendants moved to dismiss or permanently stay the proceeding for lack of jurisdiction and on forum non conveniens grounds, and to strike the statement of claim.
The plaintiff cross-moved for default judgment.
The court set aside the noting in default for most defendants and service for two, staying the action against those two.

The court largely upheld the statement of claim, striking only two paragraphs, but ordered the plaintiff to add the contracting corporation as a proper plaintiff, staying the action until then.
