The defendant, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's claims for breach of duty of fairness, defamation, negligence, and fraudulent concealment arising from a tendering process.
The court dismissed the motion for summary judgment regarding the duty of fairness and limitation period issues, finding that the voluminous and conflicting evidence required a full trial with viva voce evidence.
However, the court granted summary judgment dismissing the defamation claim, as the plaintiff failed to provide direct evidence of the alleged defamatory statements.
