The appellant appealed a judgment of the Quebec Court of Appeal regarding damages after the respondent, the lowest bidder, withdrew its offer after bids were opened and refused to enter into a formal contract.
The Supreme Court of Canada allowed the appeal, adopting the dissenting reasons of Montgomery J.A. at the Court of Appeal.
The respondent was ordered to pay the appellant $138,056.55 with interest and the indemnity provided for in art. 1078.1 of the Civil Code of Lower Canada.
