The applicant sought recognition of a $22 million arbitral award against the respondent.
The respondent opposed recognition, arguing it would be contrary to Ontario public policy because its counsel in the arbitration had a conflict of interest by providing expert evidence in a separate case that the applicant could indirectly benefit from.
The court rejected this defence, finding that the alleged conflict did not fundamentally offend basic principles of justice and fairness, and granted the order recognizing the award.
