Mortgage law 2014 NSSC 400

Jaskolka v. Penney

No material facts were in dispute that funds were advanced and the Bedros Lane mortgage was in default; disputed quantum does not preclude summary judgment because the amount owing can be assessed under Rule 13.05; the second foreclosure is not barred by res judicata or abuse of process because the prior proceeding concerned a different mortgage (different cause of action) securing the same debt; therefore summary judgment is granted and the quantum is to be assessed.

  • Summary judgment
  • Deficiency claim
  • Collateral mortgage
  • Issue estoppel
  • Cause of action estoppel
  • Assessment of quantum
