Parties in Ontario civil cases are required to make full disclosure of all paper and digital documents that are relevant to the litigation, including documents that are not supportive of their cases.

In Superior Court cases, each party must deliver a sworn Affidavit of Documents that includes a complete listing of all relevant documents that are in the party’s power, possession or control. These documents must be produced to all other parties in the lawsuit.

Civil lawsuits in Ontario’s Superior Court are commenced by issuing a document known as a Statement of Claim. A Defendant who is served in Ontario must file a Statement of Defence within 20 days of service.

If a Defendant is served elsewhere in Canada or the US, a Statement of Defence must be filed within 40 days of service.  If a Defendant is served outside Canada or the US, the Statement of Defence must be filed within 60 days of service.

Toronto's Ford Follies

Of course the mayor will now appeal his removal from office and attempt to run the clock until the next municipal elections in 2014.

(The guy spends more time in court than I do...)

It almost makes one yearn for the relative calm of the sedate and dignified Lastman years.
