COVID - 2020 Civil and Administrative Time Extension
. Beshay v. Labib
In Beshay v. Labib (Ont CA, 2024) the Court of Appeal noted the 2020 six-month (March-August) COVID suspension of civil and administrative time limits:
[7] Rule 48.14(1) directs the registrar to dismiss actions that have not been set down for trial within five years. However, in March 2020, the Superior Court of Justice suspended operations on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in all filing deadlines being extended for six months. As a consequence, the r. 48.14(1) deadline in this case was extended from December 2021 to June 2022.
