The court permitted a sole shareholder to represent his corporation but ordered the corporation to post security for costs.
The appellant, a corporation, sought permission to appeal a Divisional Court decision.
The motion judge granted leave for the sole shareholder to represent the corporation.
The respondent moved for security for costs under Rule 56.01(1)(d) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, arguing the appellant lacked sufficient assets in Ontario to pay costs.
The motion judge found reasonable grounds for security for costs and ordered the appellant to post security in the amount of $6,906.95 before the motion for leave to appeal was sent to a panel for disposition, but declined to require security for the appeal itself pending leave being granted.
