Judgment Debtor Examinations

Sweda Farms Ltd v. Eggs Farms of Ontario 2016 Ont SCJ

The corporate judgment debtor refused to answer questions in a judgment debtor examination that related to property that a non-party owned. However, since the financial statements of the debtor referenced money owing to related parties and the non-party was related to the judgment debtor, there was a connection between the debtor and the non-party’s property and the creditor had a right to ask questions relating to the property of the non-party.
