In an ongoing oppression application, the applicants moved under s. 249(4) of the OBCA for an order requiring the respondent corporation to pay their interim legal fees.
The respondent moved for documentary production.
The court dismissed the applicants' motion, finding they failed to provide sufficient independent evidence of their financial difficulty or the quantum of costs sought.
The court refused to hear the respondent's motion because he had failed to comply with a previous court order regarding the funding of independent counsel.
The court also ordered the parties to prepare a trial preparation plan.
