Is a lawyer’s relationship with a client's solicitor imputed to that person?

The knowledge of a person’s solicitor is imputed to that person: Pepper v. Sanmina-Sci Systems (Canada) Inc., 2017 ONSC 1516 (CanLII), at para. 62. In my view, this principle also applies in the analogous relationship of paralegal/client. As articulated in Pepper, ‘[i]n determining whether a plaintiff knew or ought to have known of the facts giving rise to a claim, the knowledge of his or her solicitors is imputed to the plaintiff.’ In this case, the paralegal had written to the defendant (presumably with the knowledge of his client, the plaintiff) and asked the defendant to direct all communication to the paralegal. As a result, it is appropriate to impute the paralegal’s knowledge of the correspondence with the defendant to the plaintiff
