The applicant, Michael Jeffrey Meade, sought a Norwich order against The Toronto-Dominion Bank to compel the disclosure of banking records for an account where funds from an overdue loan judgment were deposited.
The applicant had an outstanding judgment against the original debtors and required the records to trace the disappeared funds.
The court applied the established criteria for granting a Norwich order, finding that the applicant's claim was bona fide, the bank was the only practicable source of the information, and the interests of justice favored granting the order, especially with restrictions on the use of the disclosed information.
The order was granted.
