Is it in the interest of justice to grant partial summary judgment against a single defendant?

In this regard, I am cognizant of and have taken into consideration the findings of Karakatsanis J. addressing the “interest of justice” requirement in Hryniak v. Maulden, supra, at para. 60, as follows: The “interest of justice” inquiry goes further, and also considers the consequences of the motion in the context of the litigation as a whole. For example, if some of the claims against some of the parties will proceed to trial in any event, it may not be in the interest of justice to use the new fact-finding powers to grant summary judgment against a single defendant. Such partial summary judgment may run the risk of duplicative proceedings or inconsistent findings of fact and therefore the use of the powers may not be in the interest of justice. On the other hand, the resolution of an important claim against a key party could significantly advance access to justice, and be the most proportionate, timely and cost effective approach.
