A request for case management is premature when a motion to transfer the action's venue is pending.
The plaintiff requested the appointment of a case management judge for her action.
The court, acting as Civil Team Lead, deemed this request premature because one of the defendants had already brought a motion to transfer the action from the Toronto Region to the Northwest Region (Kenora).
The endorsement clarified that the plaintiff could renew her request if the transfer motion was dismissed.
It also noted that opposed requests for case management must be brought by way of motion, in accordance with the Consolidated Practice Direction for Civil Actions in the Toronto Region.
