What is the difference between a plaintiff at bar and plaintiff in a personal injury case?
Manitoba, Canada
The following excerpt is from Hembach et al v. Kives, 2008 MBQB 228 (CanLII):
Mauer v. McDougall is distinguishable from the case at bar for several reasons. For one, it was a personal injury case which was “witness-driven” as it depended largely on the personal recollections of witnesses, as opposed to this case where documentary evidence is of major significance. The plaintiffs here have not been forced into action by the defendant and examinations for discovery have been conducted.
