The moving party, Onespace Unlimited Inc., brought a motion to strike portions of a reply affidavit sworn by the responding party's principal witness in advance of a summary trial.
The moving party argued the impugned statements contained improper argument, opinion evidence from a lay witness, and legal conclusions.
The court granted the motion in part, striking statements that constituted improper argument or unqualified expert opinion, while retaining statements that were factual observations or inextricably tied to the witness's overall impressions.
