Oral Reasons for Judgment
KENT J. (orally)
[1] Before the Court is a motion asking this Court to set aside the order of Swinton J. made 29 March, 2011 and grant leave to City Water International Inc. to be represented by a non-lawyer, Officer and Director of the Corporation, Matthew Riddell, in this Small Claims Court appeal. Mr. Riddell has, in fact, argued the motion this morning.
[2] Because the Court has, on this motion, now been presented with further and enlarged information that was not before Swinton J. in March of 2011, we have taken an approach that requires a contextual analysis into whether or not the relief sought should be granted. We now know that Matthew Riddell is currently an Officer of City Water International Inc. We know that Matthew Riddell holds a full-time position as an employee of City Water International Inc. We also are informed that Matthew Riddell is not employed by any other corporate entity. We know from the material that Mr. Riddell has prepared all of the materials necessary for the appeal in the Small Claims Court matter and we are aware that he has perfected the appeal. We note, in particular, that the appeal itself involves an amount less than $2,000.
[3] Given all of these circumstances and the further and enlarged information now before this Court, we have determined that the relief sought should be granted.
[4] The Endorsement of the Court is: For reasons given orally, order to go as sought in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of Notice of Motion.
