The respondents requested an interim order to strike allegations predating April 26, 2012, and to remove the personal respondent as a party.

The Tribunal deferred the request to strike the allegations, finding it to be an evidentiary matter for the hearing adjudicator since the applicant was only relying on them as factual background.

The Tribunal denied the request to remove the personal respondent, finding her alleged conduct was a central issue and, as the directing mind and sole shareholder of the corporate respondent, her inclusion would not unnecessarily complicate the proceedings.
