The decision concerns an application by Sherif Gerges Pharmacy Professional Corporation and Sherif Gerges for the appointment of an inspector under the Ontario Business Corporations Act to investigate the business and financial affairs of Seva Drug Mart Inc. and Eglinton Drugs Inc., as well as for leave to bring derivative actions on behalf of those corporations and Woodbine Downs Healthcare Realty Inc. The court granted the appointment of an inspector and leave to bring the proposed actions, rejecting the respondents' arguments that arbitration provisions applied and that certain claims were statute-barred.
The court also addressed the allocation of costs for the investigation and the proposed actions.
