This endorsement addresses two motions: the plaintiff's motion to compel an affidavit of documents from one defendant (Drake Cartier), and a defendant's (Lowe, Gravelle & Associates Inc., also known as EFI Engineering) motion for leave to amend its Statement of Defence and, if necessary, withdraw admissions.
The court granted the plaintiff's motion against Drake Cartier, ordering the affidavit by August 1, 2023, but without costs due to short service.
The court also granted EFI Engineering's motion to amend its Statement of Defence, finding no non-compensable prejudice to the plaintiff, particularly regarding limitation periods.
The court found no admissions were made that needed withdrawal, but would have granted leave if they had been.
Costs for the second motion were awarded against the plaintiff.
