The appellants appealed a Small Claims Court judgment awarding the respondent $10,000 for breach of contract after the appellants failed to close a real estate transaction.
The appellants argued the trial judge erred in finding the respondent mitigated its damages, in calculating the damages relative to the Small Claims Court monetary limit, and in awarding costs.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding the respondent's mitigation efforts reasonable, the damage calculation proper, and the costs award within the rules.
