The appellants appealed a trial judgment finding that no enforceable agreement was reached for a fur salon licence, as essential terms were missing.
The respondent cross-appealed the finding that it negligently misrepresented its ability to terminate an existing licence, and appealed the costs award, specifically the allowance of expert witness fees as a full disbursement on a partial indemnity scale.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, cross-appeal, and costs appeal, holding that the trial judge made no palpable errors and correctly treated expert fees as disbursements not subject to partial indemnity reduction.
