The defendants in a personal injury action arising from a slip and fall requested a chambers appointment to amend a timetable and compel the plaintiff to attend independent medical examinations with a neurologist and a physiatrist in Toronto and Mississauga.
The plaintiff, who resides in Kitchener, objected to the locations and raised concerns about COVID-19 waivers and transportation.
The court found the plaintiff's objections unreasonable, noting the action was commenced in Toronto.
The court ordered the plaintiff to attend the scheduled assessments and amended the timetable for the delivery of expert reports.
