The plaintiffs brought a motion for court approval of a partial settlement in a medical negligence action involving a person under disability.
The court found the supplementary motion record insufficient, noting non-compliance with filing rules (exhibits on USB stick, unnumbered pages) and a lack of substantive evidence.
Specifically, counsel failed to provide the necessary analyses of liability issues and the merits of claims against the settling defendants, relying on solicitor-client privilege which the court previously clarified was not a barrier.
The motion was adjourned to allow the plaintiffs to deliver the requisite evidence.
