What are the consequences of the “double/split person” actions?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Lorin Rubbert v Boxrud, 2014 SKQB 221 (CanLII):

Under the circumstances, I find both actions are nullities and are void ab initio. As they never had any form or effect which was recognizable by law, the defendants need not have served or filed statements of defence. The fact that they did so, however, is of no consequence in that it is not possible for a nullity to be waived. b) The double/split person (Meads v. Meads)
