The plaintiff, a subcontractor, sued the general contractor, a financial corporation, and Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) for payment on a construction project.
PWGSC, later renamed The Attorney General of Canada (AGC), brought a motion to strike the Statement of Claim against it.
The court granted the motion, finding no reasonable cause of action for breach of contract, breach of trust under the Construction Act (which does not apply to the federal Crown), or unjust enrichment, due to the existence of juristic reasons (contracts between owner-contractor and contractor-subcontractor, and the comprehensive scheme of the Construction Act).
