The defendant brought a motion to compel the out-of-province plaintiff to attend an examination for discovery in person at her own expense.
The plaintiff, who resided in Saskatchewan, opposed the motion and sought to have the examination in Toronto at the defendants' expense or by video conference.
The Master held that it was just and convenient to provide the defendant with the choice of conducting the examination by video conference or in person in Toronto, with the travel or video conferencing costs to be shared equally between the plaintiff and the defendants.
