Multiple related motions arose from litigation concerning the sale of assets of a mulch and container business.
The moving parties sought extensive relief including summary judgment, contempt findings, setting aside an Anton Piller order, injunctive relief, venue transfer, and procedural directions across three related proceedings.
The court set aside the Anton Piller order and ordered seized materials returned, transferred certain proceedings from Toronto to Barrie, and consolidated two related matters to streamline litigation.
Requests for summary judgment, contempt findings, removal of counsel, and additional injunctive relief were largely dismissed due to insufficient evidentiary foundation or procedural defects.
The court concluded that several issues required trial and directed administrative steps regarding prior orders.
Costs were ordered to be borne by each party due to mixed success.
