Capital Demolition & Environmental Services II Inc. v. Nova Scotia (Attorney General)

Although the motion did not meet the test for an emergency under CPR 28, on the merits the court granted a preservation order under CPR 42 because there is a serious issue to be tried, Capital would suffer irreparable harm from loss of evidence if the Main Building were demolished without opportunity to document remaining salvageable materials, and the balance of convenience favors granting limited access for up to five days since such access would not materially delay demolition or frustrate Public Works' statutory duties provided Capital acts diligently and reasonably.
