What is the test for creating a standstill agreement?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kapki v. Palacz, 1998 ABQB 142 (CanLII):
I am unable to accept, with respect, the learned Master's reasons that to create a standstill agreement "there must be an active request by the defendants or the defendants' insurers that the plaintiffs not take any further steps in the action for either a fixed ...... or ...... a determinate period of time (e.g., until settlement negotiations have failed) or for an indeterminate period of time ...... to be determined on reasonable notice." That was his reasoning in his earlier decision of Martin v. Page, supra, which he adopted in this case.
