How has the time for service been determined in motor vehicle accident cases such as Chiarelli?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Beckwith v. Salmon, 2014 ONSC3528, 2014 ONSC 3528 (CanLII):
Chiarelli, supra. was cited by Bielby, J. in Noori v. Grewal [2011] OJ No. 4190, where he dismissed a motion to extend the time for service though the delay in that matter was less than it had been in Chiarelli. Bielby J. noted that these cases were fact driven, indicating that it was clear that the insurer, in Chiarelli, had had notice of the claim and injury shortly after the accident and had an early opportunity to investigate.
