Cross-examination critical on summary judgment motions

Poole v. Whirlpool Corporation, 2011 ONCA 808, is a helpful reminder that cross-examination on contentious issues is necessary in summary judgment matters. Bald allegations are not sufficient -- evidence is needed to oppose summary judgment.
The Court holds:

"The appellants elected not to cross-examine the respondent on his affidavit materials, in which he swore that he never agreed to the precondition and was unaware of any reference to it on the appellants' intranet system."
