Is there an obligation that counsel be served or delivered to counsel?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Matthew Brady Self Storage Corp. v. Instorage Trustee Corp., 2013 ONSC 6475 (CanLII):
While a review of the legislation and the case law would indicate there is no obligation that the offer be served or delivered to counsel, the defendants say that Serra v. Paniccia (1999), 45 C.P.C. (4th) 219, states the contrary. However in my review of the case, I note because the offer was not in writing, it could not be served.
