                                                                                                                                      Defendant

                                            REASONS FOR ORDER AND ORDER

BLAIS J.

[1]                 This is a motion by the defendant asking the Court to require the plaintiff to clarify certain allegations in the plaintiff's statement of claim.

[2]                 I have examined Martin Lamontagne's notice of motion and affidavit as well as the reply filed by the plaintiff.


[3]                 Although this is a motion for particulars, counsel for the defendant simply mentioned that certain allegations were vague and imprecise, without saying which ones, and that without further details the defendant would be unable to give an adequate and intelligent response to the allegations contained in the plaintiff's statements of claim.

[4]                 I also note that the defendant failed in her attempt to have several paragraphs of the statement of claim struck out.

[5]                 I have examined the plaintiff's statement of claim and it seems to me to be sufficiently detailed at this stage: it will probably be possible to provide support for the evidence later, in examinations or at the hearing.

[6]                 This motion for particulars is accordingly dismissed with costs.
