How much time has a motion to set aside a registrar's dismissal order been brought promptly?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Askaryar v. Toronto Police Services, 2014 ONSC 2900 (CanLII):

It is clear from the judgment of Laskin J.A. in Finlay v. van Paassen, supra that in determining whether a motion like the present one has been brought promptly, one examines how much time has passed from the date the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s lawyers first became aware of the registrar’s dismissal order until the date the motion is brought. One does not examine the length of time which has passed from the date of the registrar’s dismissal order until the date the motion to set aside that order is brought. I refer to the reasons for decision of Laskin J.A. at paragraph [16], quoted above following paragraph [30] of these reasons.
