Is a defence that only challenges the validity of a claim a new step requiring leave to strike the claim?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Abbasbayli v. Fiera Foods Company et al., 2022 ONSC 1968 (CanLII):

The defendants argue that the case law indicates that a defence that only challenges the validity of a claim is not a fresh step requiring leave to bring a motion to strike the claim: Deemar v. College of Veterinarians of Ontario, [2007] O.J. No. 3933.
