The plaintiff and defendant brought cross-motions to compel answers to undertakings and refusals given during examinations for discovery in a wrongful dismissal action.
The plaintiff alleged she was induced to leave her previous employment of 26 years and that the defendant made material misrepresentations.
The court reviewed the disputed questions, applying the principles of relevance and proportionality.
The court ordered both parties to answer various questions, while finding some of the plaintiff's requests to the defendant overly broad.
Both parties were ordered to re-attend examinations for discovery to answer the compelled questions.
