The defendant and plaintiff by counterclaim, Donald Wright, brought a motion seeking leave to amend his statement of defence and counterclaim and to compel answers to certain follow-up discovery questions.
The responding parties opposed the motion and sought to strike an affidavit.
The Master granted leave to amend the pleadings, finding no new cause of action or non-compensable prejudice.
The Master also ruled on the follow-up questions, ordering one to be answered and two not to be answered.
The preliminary issue regarding the striking of an affidavit was dismissed.
