What is the effect of striking a pleading in a civil case?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from XY, LLC v. Canadian Topsires Selection Inc., 2015 BCSC 988 (CanLII):
Striking pleadings is a severe remedy. The court's power to do so should be measured and proportionate: see Grewal v. Nijjer, 2011 BCCA 505. Here, I conclude, an order striking IDI's response to civil claim and having the proceeding continue as if no response to civil claim had been filed, is measured and appropriate in the circumstances.
