Background
[4] This action was commenced in 2003 in Newmarket as a result of two motor vehicle accidents that occurred in 2000 and 2001 in which the plaintiff claims to have sustained serious and permanent injuries as a result of each accident. The action was transferred to Toronto in 2012.
[5] The plaintiffs set this action down for trial on November 26, 2013. The action was scheduled for a pre-trial conference on October 28, 2016 and a jury trial commencing on January 16, 2017 for 25 days. (I learned yesterday from Justice Wilson’s endorsement that there is a companion action which is also scheduled for trial at the same time as this action.)
