At a case conference, the plaintiffs sought to adjourn the defendants' upcoming summary judgment motion in a solicitor's negligence action.
The plaintiffs argued they needed to obtain expert evidence regarding the standard of care, which they could only do after cross-examining the defendant lawyer due to a lack of documentary production.
The court agreed that the summary judgment motion was premature and adjourned it, directing the plaintiffs to bring a motion for leave to deliver expert evidence.
