Civil C36283

Clarica Trust Company v. Colangelo

Because the solicitor acted for the creditor on the entirety of the single loan transaction (demonstrated by the single mortgage commitment and creditor instructions), the solicitor's receipt of the $90,000 was on behalf of the creditor; further, the motions judge provided no reasons to support an award of solicitor-and-client costs, so the appellate court must delete that award and substitute a party-and-party costs award of $5,000.

  • Solicitor acting for multiple parties
  • Receipt of funds on behalf of creditor
  • Irrevocable direction and assignment
  • Solicitor-and-client costs
  • Party-and-party costs
