“Successful Cases”

Court of Appeal for Ontario

Williston v. City of Hamilton, operating as Police Services, et al., 2013 115 OR (3d) 144

In an action arising out of a motor vehicle accident, the trial judge gave judgment in favour of the plaintiff. The plaintiff sought an augmented award of costs under s. 258.6(2) of the Insurance Act on the basis that the defendants had refused repeated requests to engage in mediation pursuant to s. 258.6. The trial judge denied that request on the basis that s. 258.6(2) applies only to insurers and the defendants were not insurers either as named defendants or by way of subrogation. The plaintiff appealed.

Held, the appeal should be allowed.
