Ontario Divisional Court
Steele, Eberle and Sirois, JJ.
February 10, 1984.
Summary:
An action for money was commenced by a generally-endorsed writ of summons. The parties, who were sui juris, settled the action in the plaintiff's favour before the issue of the statement of claim.
The Ontario High Court, in a decision unreported in this series of reports, refused to sign a consent judgment in the absence of a statement of claim. The plaintiff appealed.
The Ontario Divisional Court allowed the appeal and granted consent judgment for the plaintiff.
