Personal Liability

Canadian Appliance Source Inc. v. Utradecanada.com Inc. 2016 Ont SCJ

The plaintiff wanted to add parties to an action. The judge held that no evidence needs to be filed to support that motion, unless there was prejudice or abuse of process. The judge held that a pleading in which the new parties were said to have improperly and unlawfully misrepresented themselves and their corporation was sufficient to raise a tenable claim to strip the corporate veil.
