Conveyancing 2024 NLCA 11

Patrick Street Holdings Limited v. 11368 NL Inc.

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…

Contract law 2022 ONCA 61

Intercap Equity Inc. v. Bellman

The Court upheld the motion judge: the Second Guarantee is a continuing guarantee that covers liabilities incurred "in connection with" the Second Loan Agreement; This Loan merely amended and restated the existing indebtedness (no new funds, accrued interest carried forward) and paragraph 14 of the Second Guarantee permitted such variation without guarantors' consent provided the principal was not increased, therefore guarantors remained liable under the guarantee.

Gallant v. 556614 Ontario Inc.

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.
