The appellants appealed a trial judgment ordering them to repay $47,000 improperly withdrawn from a letter of credit and $7,786.56 for cleaning and grading costs.

The respondents cross-appealed the dismissal of their claim for an alleged overpayment of interest on a vendor take-back mortgage.

The Court of Appeal dismissed both the appeal and the cross-appeal, finding no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's conclusions regarding the letter of credit draw, issue estoppel, or the mortgage interest payments.

The appellant appealed a summary judgment dismissing his action against Mercedes-Benz Credit of Canada.

The appellant alleged that Mercedes improperly interfered with his negotiations with his insurer regarding a truck damaged by fire, causing a decrease in the truck's value.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no evidence to support the appellant's claim that Mercedes improperly interfered, as Mercedes had a legitimate interest in the vehicle and the insurance proceeds.
