The plaintiff brought a motion for leave to amend her statement of claim to add a corporate entity as a defendant in a wrongful dismissal action.
The responding parties opposed the motion, arguing that the applicable two-year limitation period had expired and that the revocation of Ontario Regulation 73/20 rescinded the COVID-19 limitation period suspension.
The court rejected this argument, finding that the limitation period was suspended from March 16, 2020, to September 14, 2020, and had not yet expired.
The motion to add the defendant was granted.
