What are the implications of the partial discontinuance and proposed amendments to the statement of claim?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from 864503 Alberta Ltd v Genco Place Properties Ltd, 2016 ABQB 163 (CanLII):
A partial discontinuance (which, as “amended”, discontinues as against all but three defendants) and the proposed amendments to the statement of claim (which abandons claims by all but one plaintiff) have eliminated the Foss v. Harbottle concern, but there remains a potential costs award in favour of the parties who were sued and then who were dropped from the claim.
