The self-represented respondent mother brought a motion seeking third-party records from the RCMP and the applicant father's family doctor, leave to file a late Response to Request to Admit, and a trial adjournment.
The court dismissed the request for medical records as a fishing expedition and refused the trial adjournment, noting the mother's delay and the lack of evidentiary basis.
The request for RCMP records was adjourned due to improper service.
However, the court granted the mother leave to file her late Response to Request to Admit, finding it raised triable issues and her delay was explained by her self-represented status.
