David Lewington, a shareholder and officer of Dalew Farms Inc., brought a motion under Rule 15.01(2) of the Rules of Civil Procedure for leave to represent the corporation as a non-lawyer.
The motion was unopposed.
The court reviewed factors for granting such leave, including the corporation's structure, the representative's connection and capability, and financial capacity to retain counsel.
Despite vague evidence regarding financial inability, the court granted leave, noting the unopposed nature of the request and the other factors weighing in favour.
