(T-38-99)

Indexed As: Royal Bank of Scotland plc v. Ship Kimisis III

Federal Court of Canada

Trial Division

Hargrave, Prothonotary

June 5, 2000.

Summary:

A ship was sold. One of the claimants applied for leave to file a document showing delivery of the necessaries it supplied to the ship, notwithstanding that the document had been specifically requested by the plaintiff a year earlier. The time for filing claim affidavits was fourteen months in the past. Further, the time for production of claim related documents, requested by other parties and claimants, as extended, expired nearly six months earlier.

A Prothonotary of the Federal Court of Canada, Trial Division, refused to grant the claimant leave to file the supplementary affidavit of claim.

Practice - Actions in rem - Claims for necessaries - Time for - A ship was sold - One of the claimants applied for leave to file a document showing delivery of the necessaries it supplied to the ship, notwithstanding that the document had been specifically requested by the plaintiff a year earlier - The time for filing claim affidavits was fourteen months in the past - Further, the time for production of claim related documents, requested by other parties and claimants, as extended, expired nearly six months earlier - A Prothonotary of the Federal Court of Canada, Trial Division, held that while the court may have jurisdiction to enlarge the time fixed for filing claims to the proceeds of sale of a ship (rule 492(2)), in this case it would be unfair to the other parties to allow the further material to be filed at such a late date.
