Bankruptcy and insolvency 2025 ONCA 93

Unity Health Toronto v. 2442931 Ontario Inc.

The Lift Stay Order is procedural, does not directly put debtor property into play and does not directly result in a loss under s.193(c) of the BIA; therefore the appellant has no automatic right of appeal. The appellant also fails to obtain leave under s.193(e) because the proposed appeal is not prima facie meritorious, does not raise issues of general importance, and would unduly hinder insolvency proceedings; accordingly leave is denied and the motion dismissed.

  • Receivership
  • Stay lifting
  • Leave to appeal under bia s.193
  • Standing to enforce contractual payments
  • Assignment of rights

Construction law 2024 NSSC 158

Guildfords Inc. v. Gamma Windows and Walls International Inc.

The court found no genuine issue of material fact: Guildfords perfected its builders lien and the statutory scheme requires the owner's holdback be available to satisfy subcontractor liens; the legal issues raised by Queen's Marque were either not material to the claim or did not present a real chance of success, so summary judgment was appropriate and Queen's Marque was ordered to pay Guildfords $815,206.04 plus interest and costs.

  • Builders' lien act
  • Holdback
  • Summary judgment
  • Contract termination
  • Statutory trust
  • Lien perfection

Employment insurance 2023 SST 1962

JK v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

The appeal is dismissed because the appellant failed to prove a veritable break in employment (he accepted a new contract with the same employer before the prior contract ended and there were continuous linkages), his temporary teaching was regular rather than predominantly casual or substitute, and he lacked sufficient insurable hours in other employment; therefore no exception to s.33 disentitlement applies for the July–September 2023 non-teaching period.

  • Teachers
  • Non-teaching period
  • Contract termination
  • Casual or substitute teaching
  • Entitlement to benefits
  • Reconsideration

Contract law 2023 NSSC 332

Sharma v. Provident Holdings Limited

On the facts the Vendor lacked cause to terminate: construction was complete so Clause 11 did not apply; Mary’s entries were justifiable and de minimis and Provident had effectively affirmed/waived any complaint by not acting until the pre-closing inspection; consequently Provident breached the Agreement and specific performance was appropriate because the Unit had particular value to Mary and damages would be inadequate; the court ordered specific performance and awarded special damages of $360 plus costs submissions.

  • Specific performance
  • Breach of contract
  • Contract termination
  • Estoppel/waiver/laches
  • Mitigation of damages
  • Construction/site visitation clause

Employment insurance 2023 SST 266

KJ v Canada Employment Insurance Commission

The General Division did not err: the claimant made a personal, deliberate choice not to comply with the employer's COVID‑19 vaccination policy, that wilful refusal constituted misconduct under the EI Act, and that misconduct directly caused the dismissal; issues of contractual breach, ROE characterization, accommodation and human or constitutional rights are for other fora and do not vitiate the misconduct finding.

  • Misconduct
  • Covid-19 vaccination policy
  • Accommodation
  • Contract termination
  • Record of employment
  • Jurisdictional limits
