The Personal Insurance Company sought leave to appeal a motion judge's denial of summary judgment in a tort action.
The motion judge had found the summary judgment motion premature, requiring evidence of "other uninsured vehicles" and deferring coverage issues until trial.
The Superior Court granted leave to appeal, finding good reason to doubt the correctness of the motion judge's decision because the evidence sought was irrelevant to the issues and deferring coverage issues until trial was problematic.
The court also found the appeal involved matters of province-wide importance regarding uninsured coverage under the Insurance Act.
