The applicants brought an application under the oppression remedy provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act.
The court heard three motions: the applicants' motion to convert the application into an action, the applicants' motion for contempt against the respondents, and the respondents' motion to vary a previous order regarding monthly payments and benefits.
The court granted the motion to convert the application into an action due to numerous material facts in dispute.
The contempt motion was dismissed, as the respondents had made good faith efforts regarding disclosure, and contempt is not available for orders for the payment of money.
The respondents' motion was partially granted to terminate the obligation to provide a benefits plan, but the monthly payment obligation remained.
