Bogue v. Miracle

The appellate court dismissed the appeal: the CFA was enforceable and produced a contingency fee obligation because the arbitration conferred a real and valuable benefit on the client (control and access to the profitable business) even though the fixed monetary award was not collected in cash; the assignment constituted an unconditional acknowledgment of the debt; non‑compliance with regulatory formalities did not render the CFA unenforceable where the agreement is fair and reasonable; the respondent was entitled to a common‑law solicitor's lien; no reversible error in the motion judge's exe…

Bank of Montreal v. Iskenderov

An action under the Fraudulent Conveyances Act to declare a conveyance void as against creditors is governed by the two-year discoverability limitation in s.4 of the Limitations Act, 2002, not the ten-year RPLA s.4, because the FCA remedy does not grant the plaintiff a proprietary interest in land by judgment; accordingly Anisman (ONCA) was wrongly decided to the extent it applied the RPLA.

Contract 2020 ONCA 531

Pohl v. Palisca

Section 9 of the August 9, 2010 share purchase agreement unambiguously required that if one half of the purchase price ($750,000) had not been paid within five years, the unpaid balance of that one half was immediately payable; therefore the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in part and awarded the appellant $750,000 jointly and severally against Walter Palisca and Palcam Solutions Inc. with pre‑judgment interest from August 9, 2015; the trial judge's dismissal of the appellant's other claims (wrongful dismissal/oppression and punitive damages) was upheld as supported by the factual findings.

  • Share purchase agreement
  • Breach of contract
  • Oppression remedy (s.248 obca)
  • Wrongful dismissal
