Kreinin v. SS&C Technologies Canada Corp.
• Case Overview:
o In this case, dated September 18, 2023, Alex Kreinin (Plaintiff) moved for an order requiring SS&C Technologies Canada Corp. (Defendant) to produce a more detailed affidavit of documents, specifically non-privileged documents related to the company's reorganization.
• Background:
o Alex Kreinin filed a wrongful dismissal lawsuit seeking damages of $605,820.00.
o The dispute centered around the production of documents related to SS&C's restructuring, which Kreinin argued were crucial to his case.
• Court Proceedings:
o SS&C had not served a sworn affidavit of documents but agreed to produce non-privileged restructuring documents.
o Kreinin's counsel repeatedly followed up for these documents, leading to the motion.
• Court's Decision:
o The Court found SS&C's approach to document production unsatisfactory, especially since relevant documents were admitted to exist.
o SS&C was ordered to serve a sworn further and better affidavit of documents, listing the non-privileged restructuring documents regardless of their temporal origin.
• Conclusion:
o Kreinin was successful in his motion.
o The Court awarded Kreinin costs of $2,500.00, to be paid by SS&C within 30 days.
o The Court emphasized the importance of full disclosure in civil litigation, particularly in the context of wrongful dismissal cases.
