The plaintiff in a proposed class action moved for leave to amend the Statement of Claim to add the corporate directors of the defendant companies as new defendants.
The amendment was sought due to concerns about the existing defendants' ability to pay outstanding wages, particularly in light of the global travel industry's collapse due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The court found no prejudice to any party, as the defendants did not object and the action was still at an early stage.
Leave to amend was granted, with no costs awarded.
