The plaintiff brought a motion under Rule 13.1.02 to transfer an action from Toronto to North Bay, arguing there was no real connection to Toronto and that the property, parties, and witnesses were located in Kirkland Lake.
The defendant was self-represented and did not oppose the motion.
The court granted the transfer but directed the action to Haileybury, which was identified as the Superior Court closest to Kirkland Lake, to better facilitate the defendant's participation, rather than North Bay as requested by the plaintiff.
No costs were awarded as the motion was unopposed.
