The defendant in two separate actions arising from the same motor vehicle accident moved to have the actions tried together or sequentially, and to transfer the venue of one action from North Bay to Sudbury.
The court dismissed the motion to try the actions together as premature, noting that one action was at a much more advanced stage than the other.
The court also dismissed the motion to change venue, finding that the plaintiff's choice of North Bay was reasonable and the defendant failed to show that Sudbury was a significantly better venue.
The motions were dismissed without prejudice to being renewed closer to trial.
