The defendant, Rakhi Kalia, brought a motion to dismiss an action commenced by her mother, Adarsh Kalia, alleging the plaintiff's lawyer lacked authority and had a conflict of interest.
Adarsh Kalia, through her litigation guardian, cross-moved for a timetable and case management.
The court found the lawyer was properly authorized, initially by a power of attorney and subsequently by the Public Guardian and Trustee.
The court dismissed Rakhi's motion (except for granting leave to amend her Statement of Defence) and granted Adarsh Kalia's cross-motion, ordering a case conference to establish a timetable for the action.
