The defendants brought a refusals motion arising from the examination for discovery of the plaintiff in a franchise dispute.
The defendants sought answers regarding the plaintiff's prior business experience to test his credibility about whether earnings projections were provided at a crucial meeting.
The court ordered the plaintiff to answer these questions, finding them relevant to what occurred at the meeting.
However, the court upheld the plaintiff's refusals to answer questions regarding discussions with his independent legal advice lawyer, as those questions improperly breached solicitor-client privilege.
