The plaintiff brought three unopposed motions in writing regarding two proceedings arising from the same alleged slip and fall accident.
The first two motions sought to consolidate the two actions, as the plaintiff had initially sued an unknown property management company and later commenced a second action upon learning its identity.
The third motion sought leave to amend the statement of claim in the consolidated proceeding to reflect the correct parties.
The court granted the consolidation, finding the proceedings had common questions of fact and law, and granted leave to amend the pleadings to correct the misnomer and remove discontinued parties.
