Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Pineau et al v. Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp., 2011 ONSC 5822 (CanLII):
As Nordheimer J. stated in Leadbeater v. Ontario, 2001 CanLII 28341: The purpose of Rule 25.06(7) is to avoid unnecessary verbosity in pleading and, therefore, it is not expected, or required, that a plaintiff will reproduce the provisions of the agreement or other document, upon which it must rely to establish its claim.
