I have a question... in 2021 the statement of defence form 18a is just one page. Where are you getting the 2nd page from (see 10:28) that you're listing the facts on?

[@jasinarok]

It looks like a template. You personalize it with your own details. Info I just discovered said to use form 9a.

[@tusan20]

this is crazy.

Ontario Lawyers and Paralegals are asking $2000+ to complete and file this idiotic Statement of Defense for you 🤭
