On January 18th, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed a motion requesting that a defendant to a wrongful dismissal claim image all computers, mobile handheld devices and other electronic devices for inspection because it had produced an attachment to a single e-mail without the lead e-mail itself. The defendant claimed the lead e-mail was blank (containing only the attachment) and had long-since been destroyed. The Court ordered the defendant to use its best efforts to locate the lead e-mail and dismissed the requested order as speculative.
