The moving party sought an interim distribution of 25 percent of funds held in trust from the sale of the deceased's residence, pending the resolution of a will challenge.

The funds were held pursuant to a consent order.

The court dismissed the motion, finding no grounds to vary the consent order and concluding that an interim distribution was premature as the estate's liabilities were unknown and an earlier will might exist.

This endorsement addresses two motions brought by insurers (Wawanesa and Coseco) in consolidated actions arising from a car accident.

The motions sought to compel Gurpreet Toor and Gurjap Toor to answer discovery refusals and undertakings.

Gurjap Toor, noted in default, did not appear, and relief against him was granted.

Gurpreet Toor opposed the motions.

The court applied principles of relevance and proportionality in discovery, granting some requests (Toyota underwriting documents, questions about how Gurjap obtained keys, insurance broker's file for Toyota, property damage estimate, and police file authorization) while denying others (Toyota purchase paperwork, contact information for a former household resident).
