Citation: 2003 FCT 352

Montreal, Quebec, March 26, 2003

Present:           Richard Morneau, Esq., Prothonotary                                   

BETWEEN:

                                                MAXTECH MANUFACTURING INC.

                                                                                                                                                          Plaintiff

                                                                                 and

                                                                 ALLTRADE INC.,

ALLTRADE TOOLS LLC.

and

ANDRE LIVIAN

                                                                                                                                                    Defendants

                                               REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER

[1]                 In light of what was mentioned by this Court in the case of Painblanc v. Kastner et al. (1994), 58 C.P.R. (3d) 502, and the jurisprudence cited therein, in my opinion, it is plain and obvious that paragraphs 5 and 24 of the Statement of Claim do not disclose sufficient material facts to properly engage the liability of Andre Livian as a personal defendant.


[2]                 I therefore order the striking out of Andre Livian as a party defendant to this action, subject to the right of the plaintiff to file and serve an amendment on or before April 2, 2003, or within such further period as the parties may agree, alleging material facts which would, if proven, establish liability on the part of Andre Livian.

[3]                 The Defendants shall serve and file their Statement of Defence within thirty (30) days of the service of the Plaintiff's Amended Statement of Claim.

[4]                 Costs are in the cause.

Richard Morneau
