The plaintiff brought a motion to validate service of a statement of claim on a corporate defendant and to extend the time for service and permit substituted service on an individual defendant via a non-party insurer.
The action arose from a motor vehicle accident.
The court validated service on the corporate defendant, finding it was properly served at its registered office address.
The court also granted the extension of time and substituted service on the individual defendant, finding no actual prejudice caused by the delay and that the proposed method of service would reasonably bring the claim to his attention.
