The plaintiff brought a motion to amend his statement of claim against his insurer regarding property damage.
The defendant insurer opposed, arguing the amendments raised a new cause of action and would cause prejudice because it had already settled a subrogated claim related to the damage.
The court granted the motion, finding the amendments did not plead a new cause of action and any prejudice was due to the defendant's own actions in settling the subrogated claim without the plaintiff's input.
The order was made without prejudice to the defendant raising a limitations argument at trial.
