Interlocutory injunction denied; broker failed to show irreparable harm from insurer's communications with policyholders.
The plaintiff insurance broker sought an interlocutory injunction to prevent the defendant mutual insurance company from communicating with policyholders after the termination of their brokerage agreement.
The plaintiff alleged breach of contract and breach of confidence.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that while there was a serious issue to be tried, the plaintiff failed to demonstrate irreparable harm, as any losses could be quantified and alleged reputational harm was speculative.
The balance of convenience favoured the defendant, given its regulatory obligations to communicate with its member policyholders.
The court dismissed motions to compel the plaintiffs to undergo medical examinations for capacity, finding insufficient evidence and prematurity.
The defendants in two related actions sought orders to compel the plaintiffs, Andrew Stronach and Selena Stronach, to undergo medical examinations to assess their mental capacities for the purpose of determining if litigation guardians were required.
The court dismissed the motion against Selena Stronach, finding insufficient evidence to rebut the presumption of capacity.
The motion against Andrew Stronach was dismissed without prejudice, as the court found it premature and suggested other discovery avenues should be pursued first.
The court also declined to order production of video recordings of Andrew's examination for discovery.
