The defendants brought motions to adjourn a motion to remove the plaintiff's counsel, to remove the plaintiff's counsel for an alleged conflict of interest, and to amend their Statement of Defence and add a counterclaim.
The court dismissed the adjournment motion, finding the information sought on cross-examination irrelevant.
The court dismissed the removal motion, concluding a reasonably informed member of the public would not find the plaintiff's counsel possessed confidential information about the defendants.
The court also dismissed the motion to amend the pleadings, finding the proposed amendments sought to re-litigate issues already decided by summary judgment, and rejected the proposed counterclaim.
