Felicia Vacaru appealed a trial judgment that found her liable to Marmer Penner Inc. for outstanding forensic accounting fees and dismissed her crossclaim against her former lawyers, Legge & Legge and John Legge, for negligence.
Vacaru also sought to adduce fresh evidence on appeal and leave to appeal costs.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion to adduce fresh evidence, finding it inadmissible hearsay or irrelevant, and dismissed both appeals, upholding the trial judge's findings of fact regarding the fee agreement and the dismissal of the negligence crossclaim due to lack of breach of standard of care, causation, and limitation period issues.
Leave to appeal costs was also denied.
