How does rule 16 of the Rules of Civil Procedure apply to summary judgment?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Valdes Romero v. Malecka, 2018 ONCJ 128 (CanLII):
Justice Zisman sets out the specific language of rule 16 as well as some additional principles in her decision in the case of McCash v. McCash, 2012 ONCJ 503, at paragraph 50. In that paragraph she cites sub rule 16 (1), (4), (4.1), and (6) of the Rules as providing the authority for the circumstances under which the court may grant summary judgment. I adopt and follow those principles.
