Civil Litigation Cases - Style of Cause

. Yan v. Ministry of The Attorney General et al.

In Yan v. Ministry of The Attorney General et al. (Ont Div Ct, 2026) the Ontario Divisional Court considers the proper style-of-cause naming for the Ontario Crown:
[20] First, the Plaintiff named "Ontario Services of Ministry of Transportation" as a Defendant. Ministries of the Crown are not legal entities that can be sued. The Crown is liable for any torts committed by Crown servants. Therefore, if there was a viable claim, the proper defendant in this proceeding would be "His Majesty the King in right of Ontario" as set out in section 14 of the CLPA: Noddle v. The Ontario Ministry of Health, 2019 ONSC 7337, at paras. 19-20.
