The plaintiff brought a motion to amend a registrar's Order to Continue to add the deceased's spouse in her personal capacity as a Family Law Act claimant, correcting an accidental omission.
The defendants opposed, arguing the limitation period had expired.
The court applied Rule 37.14 of the Rules of Civil Procedure and granted the amendment nunc pro tunc, finding the delay was reasonably explained, the omission was inadvertent, the plaintiff moved promptly upon discovery, and there was no actual prejudice to the defendants.
