Really appreciate this. Confirms what I thought. But what is the penalty for not getting the named corporation right, does it just look poorly on your case? Can't you just file again (obviously you can amend).

Also, once the claim is filed, there is a 20 day window within Alberta to respond. Is this the date from the filing in Provincial Court of Alberta - Claims or as the document you provided says 7 days from date of serving plus the 20 days. Even the courts own documents aren't clear on the timeframe. As a side note, the advice handed out at the court is they are not stringent on named Corporations, which made no sense at all. I.e. if you are suing Walmart Ltd, Walmart is good enough. But the law is the law and you can't sue a trade name.

Thank you for the article. It was excellent.
