Trial reasons on a private placement agreement held that 20% yield accrued on $1.25 million from December 1, 2020, with payments credited first to yield.

The court held the defendants owed $1 million under a SPA put right and guarantee, rejecting their argument that implied best-efforts terms excused payment.
The Court of Appeal dismissed Mr. Pavlov’s appeal from summary judgment enforcing a personal guarantee after a missed VTB interest payment triggered acceleration.
The Court dismissed the appeal: it upheld the applications judge’s determination that the contractual rate of 18% applied to the Cheeke mortgage and, on the surplus issue, concluded the applications judge and this Court had previously determined that Patrick Street had not established any amount owing under mortgage 759678 and that estoppel doctrines (issue estoppel, cause of action estoppel) and abuse of process by relitigation barred Patrick Street from relitigating entitlement to the $4,000,000; accordingly the surplus (less Cheeke) was payable to 11368 and costs were awarded to 11368 on C…

The mortgage agreement and schedule modified the lender's standard terms by limiting the guarantor's obligations to the 12‑month period set out in the mortgage agreement; the motion judge's interpretation was reasonable and not palpably and overridingly erroneous, so the guarantor was not liable for subsequent extensions and the appeal was dismissed.
