Applicant
Respondent
Facts: Miha Halik, a self-represented respondent with a history of legal disputes with 580 Christie Street Co-Ownership Inc., contested actions required by the corporation related to property maintenance. Halik, citing mental health issues, initially consented to a capacity assessment to determine if he needed a litigation guardian, but later withdrew consent.
Issues: The court needed to determine if further steps were necessary to assess if Halik required a litigation guardian for his litigation capacity.
Court's Ruling: Justice Papageorgiou vacated the previous order for a capacity assessment, finding no basis to compel the assessment without Halik's consent and no evidence suggesting he was a party under disability. The court observed Halik's competent participation in proceedings and his understanding of the legal process, indicating his capacity to represent himself.
Costs/Damages: The decision primarily addressed procedural aspects regarding Halik's capacity and representation, not specifying costs or damages.
