The defendant, Hariri Pontarini Architects, brought a motion seeking leave to amend its statement of defence and counterclaim to add a paragraph concerning the plaintiff's prior architects and for an order compelling the plaintiff, Corey Libfeld, to produce a further and better affidavit of documents related to those prior retainers.
The plaintiff opposed the contested amendment and the document production request.
The court dismissed the defendant's motion to add the specific paragraph (8A) to its pleading, finding it irrelevant and scandalous, and also dismissed the request for a further and better affidavit of documents, as the requested documents were not relevant to the issues in the litigation.
Uncontested amendments were granted.
Costs were awarded to the plaintiff.
