Arbitration 2011 ONCA 525

Ontario v. Imperial Tobacco Canada Limited

The Court of Appeal (majority) held that the motion judge erred only in part: disputes about ITCAN's set-off/escrow rights under s.7 fall within the arbitration agreement and the stay as to those matters was proper and must be referred to the arbitrator; however, issues under s.15 that would determine a complete defence to the Tobacco Board's class action cannot be decided by the arbitrator because the Tobacco Board is not party to the Agreement or its arbitration provisions and has a vital interest in s.15 issues, so the stay must be lifted insofar as s.15 issues are concerned.

  • Competence-competence
  • Stay of proceedings
  • Arbitrability
  • Contract interpretation
  • Release clauses
  • Escrow rights
