Motion to quash summons granted; receiver not compellable to produce documents for collateral proceedings.
A court-appointed receiver moved to quash a summons issued by the Ontario Securities Commission requiring him to produce documents, including interview notes, for a hearing regarding the respondent's alleged participation in a Ponzi scheme.
The Commission granted the motion to quash, finding that a receiver cannot be compelled to produce documents for a proceeding outside the receivership.
Furthermore, the respondent failed to establish that the requested interview notes were likely relevant to his ability to make full answer and defence.
