The plaintiff brought a motion seeking leave to amend his statement of claim to include further claims under the Human Rights Code and to add David M. Fine as a defendant on a common employer basis.
The plaintiff also sought an order for a further and better affidavit of documents from the defendant and a litigation timetable.
The court granted leave for the Human Rights Code amendments, finding they did not constitute new causes of action.
However, leave to add David M. Fine as a defendant was denied because the limitation period had expired, and the plaintiff had always been aware of Fine's role.
The court ordered the defendant to provide a further and better affidavit of documents for specific items and established a comprehensive litigation timetable, including mandatory mediation before examinations for discovery.
