The defendants brought a motion for security for costs under Rule 56.01(1)(d) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, arguing the plaintiff had insufficient assets in Ontario to pay a costs award.
The plaintiff provided uncontested affidavit evidence demonstrating ownership of two properties in Ontario with a combined net worth of $291,000.
The court found this sufficient to pay the defendants' costs if required and dismissed the motion, awarding costs to the plaintiff.
