Appointment, &c., of litigation guardian by Court
15.05 Appointment, &c., of litigation guardian by Court
If a party to proceedings becomes a person under a disability after the proceedings are commenced, the Court must appoint a litigation guardian of that party.
Before appointing a litigation guardian under subrule (1), the
Court may review the conduct of the proceedings and make the orders it considers necessary to ensure that justice is done between the parties.
Where a party who is a person under a disability fails to file a notice of defence when required to do so by an order of the Court or these Rules, the Court may order the appointment of a litigation guardian to defend the proceedings.
Where the interests of a party who is a person under a disability require it, the Court may appoint or remove a litigation guardian or substitute another person as litigation guardian of the party.
