The defendant WR Property Service Inc. brought a motion for summary judgment in a slip and fall personal injury action.
The Morguard defendants, co-defendants in the action, requested an adjournment of WR's summary judgment motion and the upcoming trial, arguing they had insufficient time to prepare a proper response, including securing an affidavit and conducting cross-examinations.
The court granted the adjournment, finding that denying it would cause significant prejudice to the Morguard defendants by preventing them from fully presenting their case, and that the interests of justice in resolving the matter on its merits outweighed the delay.
