The applicants brought an application for an interim order appointing them joint guardians of property for $700,000 of a minor's personal injury settlement funds.

The funds were to be used to purchase and renovate a wheelchair-accessible home for the minor.

The Children's Lawyer approved the purchase and recommended specific renovations for the minor's safety.

The court found the purchase and renovations to be in the minor's best interests, granted the interim order, and directed that the property be registered in the minor's name.

The plaintiff brought a motion to extend the time to serve the statement of claim on two defendants in a personal injury action arising from a scooter accident.

The plaintiff had mistakenly believed the defendants were properly served within the six-month period.

The court found the delay was adequately explained and that the defendants failed to demonstrate actual prejudice caused by the delay.

The motion to extend the time for service was granted.
