The defendant/plaintiff by counterclaim, a corporation, brought a motion seeking leave under Rule 15.01(2) of the Rules of Civil Procedure to be represented by its sole director, officer, and shareholder, a non-lawyer.
The opposing parties argued the action was complex and the representative would be a key witness.
The court granted the motion, finding the representative capable of advocating for the single-person corporation and noting there is no principled reason to deny leave when an individual would have the right to self-represent.
