The applicant, a former CEO of Aphria Inc., sought damages for the company's refusal to honor his stock options and, in the alternative, relief from forfeiture.

The court found that the stock options had expired according to the terms of the Aphria Incentive Stock Option Plan, which was incorporated by reference into the applicant's agreements.

Furthermore, the applicant was found to have breached a non-competition agreement by leasing land to a medical marijuana producer during the restricted term.

Consequently, the court dismissed the application, denying both the claim for damages and the request for equitable relief from forfeiture due to the applicant's breach of the non-competition agreement.

The applicant, Lisa Rezai, proceeded with an uncontested trial against the respondent, Glen Gibbons, who failed to appear or provide adequate disclosure throughout the lengthy litigation.

The court granted sole custody and decision-making authority for the child to the applicant, ordered supervised access for the respondent due to his history of alcoholism, anger, and threatening behavior, and imputed an income of $500,000 per annum to the respondent for child and spousal support purposes.

The court also ordered significant retroactive support and section 7 expenses, an equalization payment from the matrimonial home proceeds, and full legal costs to the applicant due to the respondent's bad faith and uncooperative conduct.

The applicant's claim for a constructive trust was dismissed, but an equalization payment was awarded.
