Does a plaintiff have a legally tenable claim against the proposed defendants?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Zimmerman v. McNaull, 2021 ONSC 3436 (CanLII):
In this case, whether the plaintiffs have a legally tenable claim against the proposed defendants depends on whether their claim was commenced within the applicable limitation period. The “clear expiration of a limitation period is an absolute bar to the addition of a party to an already existing action”. See Arcari v. Dawson, 2016 ONCA 715 at para. 7, leave to appeal to SCC refused, [2016] S.C.C.A. No. 522.
