The court granted the defendant's motion to transfer a wrongful dismissal action to Gore Bay, finding it substantially better than Toronto.
The defendant, Wikwemikong Nursing Home, brought a motion to transfer the plaintiff's wrongful dismissal action from Toronto to Gore Bay, Manitoulin Island.
The court considered the factors under Rule 13.1.02(2)(b) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, finding that the substantial part of the events, the subject matter, and local community interest strongly favoured Gore Bay.
Despite the plaintiff's personal circumstances and damages being sustained in Toronto, the overall convenience of witnesses and the operational requirements of the defendant's long-term care home also supported the transfer.
The court granted the defendant's motion, concluding that the interests of justice required the transfer to Gore Bay.
