NETTE v STILES

Citation 2012 ABQB 290

Court Court of King's Bench of Alberta

Year 2012

Justice BELZIL J

Rules Discussed

Rule 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.
