Employment law 2025 NSSC 305

Unisys Canada Inc. v. Pineau-Pandya

Civil procedure 2025 ONCA 198

Rosemont Management Inc. v. Cityzien Properties Limited

Where a settling party fails to give immediate notice of a binding settlement that fundamentally alters the litigation landscape, a stay of proceedings as an abuse of process is the mandatory remedy; the motion judge did not err in finding Rosemont's August 17 disclosure was not immediate, and the later unenforceability of the settlement does not excuse the failure to disclose.

  • Stay for abuse of process
  • Settlement disclosure rule
  • Settlement privilege
  • Enforceability of settlements
  • Costs
