The defendant insurance broker brought a motion to amend its statement of defence and crossclaim in an action arising from a fire loss where the plaintiff alleged inadequate insurance coverage.
The plaintiff opposed the amendments, arguing they improperly pleaded evidence and argument rather than material facts, contrary to Rule 25.06.
The court granted the motion, finding that the proposed amendments, which detailed construction costs, statements made in meetings, and gross receipts, were relevant to the broker's causation defence and did not clearly offend the rules of pleading.
