The plaintiff, Anderson Sheet Metal Ltd., brought a summary judgment motion against the defendant, Comtract Air Compressors Inc., for unpaid invoices.
The central issue was whether an email exchange between the parties refreshed the two-year limitation period under the Limitations Act, 2002.
The court found that the email exchange constituted a clear and unequivocal acknowledgment of the debt for some, but not all, outstanding invoices.
The court also determined the appropriate interest rate for the successful claims.
