When will a Rule 28 examination be conducted on behalf of the Atwals?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Virk v. Brar, 2010 BCSC 1363 (CanLII):
The Rule 28 examination of the Atwals will secure their sworn statements for posterity. The mere fact that they have offered to speak to counsel for the applicants and do not want their answers recorded does not, in my view, accord with the requirements of the rule, and would afford them the same sort of “wriggle room” referred to by Griffin, J. in Coates v. Triance.
