NETTE v STILES, 2012 ABQB 290

BELZIL J

3.74: Adding, removing or substituting parties after close of pleadings

Case Summary

A stranger to the Action sought an Order to add its name as a Party to the Action. The Court indicated that Rule 3.74(2)(b) governed the Application, but found that on a plain reading of that Rule, the Application could only be made by an existing Party to the Action. Belzil J. concluded that the non-party was unable to invoke Rule 3.74(2)(b) to add itself as a Party to the Action.
