Setting aside a default

Roth v. Bourollias, 2011 ONCA 760, released today, deals with setting aside a default. 

 

In general on a motion to set aside a default, the court will consider: (a) whether the motion to set aside the judgment was brought promptly; (b) where there is a plausible excuse or explanation for the defendant's default in complying with the Rules of Civil Procedure; and (c) whether the facts establish at least an arguable case: Nelligan v. Lindsay, [1945] O.W.N. 295 (H.C.J.); Laredo v. Sinnadurai (2005), 78 O.R. (3d) 321 (C.A.); Morgan v. Toronto (Municipality) Police Services Board, [2003] OJ. No. 1106 at para. 19 (C.A.); MacNaughton v. The Royalton, 2011 ONSC 17. 

 

Today’s decision is a helpful appeal decision upholding, albeit slightly restating,  the long established test:

 

[1]              Justice Strathy addressed the motion based on the governing case law set out in Scaini v. Prochnicki, [2007] ONCA 63, which confirmed the factors from Reid v. Dow Corning Corp., (2001), 11 C.P.C. (5th) 80. He considered each of the four factors: (1) explanation for the ten-and-one- half year delay; (2) inadvertence in missing the deadline; (3) bringing the motion promptly after discovering the dismissal; and (4) prejudice to the defendant. He found in favour of the respondent on each of the factors. He found that there was no adequate explanation for the delay and that the appellant did not show diligence in prosecuting the action.

Howdy, I am new to running a blog and internet sites in general and was curious about how you got the "www" included in your domain name?

I see your domain name, "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4937285970642106606&postID=287145025130876647" has
the www and my web address looks like, "http://mydomain.com".
Do you know the best way I can alter this? I'm using Wordpress platform. Appreciate it

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your article seem to be running off
the screen in Internet explorer. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon.
Many thanks

Hi! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless
I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a
blog article or vice-versa? My blog discusses a lot of the same topics
as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!

Superb blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?

I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?

There are so many options out there that I'm completely confused .. Any ideas? Bless you!

Hey! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a template
or plugin that might be able to correct this problem.
If you have any suggestions, please share. Many thanks!

The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad
and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off
topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for
this site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had issues
with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you don't mind.

I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
I've had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Appreciate it!

Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO?
I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any
widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet
my newest twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

The only time we ever really buted heads was when they were talking about
the Video Game Circus. Just then they arrived at the back
steps of deck leading up to Panchito's. Well, I thought since I was going to the boat show in the morning,
that we could make a breakfast date out of it.

With havin so much content do you ever run into any
issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I've either written myself or
outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping
it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you
know any techniques to help prevent content from being ripped off?
I'd really appreciate it.
